Cosmetic injectables are minimally invasive, making them one of the most popular options for correcting fine lines, wrinkles and other imperfections. When you get cosmetic injectables, you can usually return to most activities right away, eliminating the long recovery times associated with plastic surgery.
Vitalyc Medspa offers Botox, dermal fillers, and other cosmetic injectables to help you look and feel your best. Here’s what you need to know about these treatments.
Cosmetic injectables are used to treat facial wrinkles, smoothen fine lines, and fill in skin folds that make you look older. Some injections are used to add structure and volume to the face to prevent sagging. Injectables can even help reduce the appearance of a double chin and other imperfections.
Dermal fillers are gel-like substances that increase volume, make the lips appear plumper, and address other early signs of aging. Overall, cosmetic injectables and dermal fillers can give you a more youthful appearance.
These cosmetic treatments are regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, so they’re safe when administered by an experienced professional. Vitalyc Medspa uses advanced injection techniques to achieve optimal results.
Botox, or Botulinum toxin type A, is a drug derived from Clostridium botulinum, a type of bacteria. It has many helpful uses in the medical industry, but it’s known for its ability to smooth wrinkles and make you look younger. Botox prevents the facial muscles from contracting, which relaxes them and makes wrinkles less visible.
If you’re interested in cosmetic injectables, there are a few things you should know before your first appointment. Here are some of the most important things to know about Botox and other cosmetic injections.
Botox doesn’t last forever, so you’ll need multiple treatment sessions to maintain a consistent appearance. On average, treatment lasts about 3 to 4 months, although it’s possible for it to wear off sooner or last even longer. When you come to our cosmetic injectables center, we’ll let you know how long you can expect it to last.
If you start getting Botox injections early, you may be able to prevent the formation of new wrinkles. This is because Botox relaxes the facial muscles. The less the muscles contract, the less likely you are to develop wrinkles and fine lines.
When you get Botox injections, they don’t work right away. The Botox needs time to relax the muscles in your face, so don’t worry if you don’t notice immediate results. You should notice an improvement within about 7-14 days.
In cases where volume or static wrinkles, or wrinkles that are present at rest, dermal fillers may be a better option Botox is indicated for wrinkles caused by the movement of your facial muscles. If you decide to get fillers, you should know they typically last 6 to 12 months.
These are some of the most common types of dermal fillers available:
One of the advantages of getting Botox injections or dermal fillers is that they cause minimal side effects. Botox may cause minimal bruising or minor discomfort at the injection area, but these side effects are minor compared to the effects of having a face-lift or some other type of surgery.
Dermal fillers have similar side effects: localized pain, minimal bruising, and mild swelling. These effects typically wear off quickly, so you can return to most activities immediately.
Vitalyc Medspa offers Dysport injections to treat lines that form between the brows due to frowning. Like Botox, these injections contain botulinum toxin type A. Dysport also tends to take effect faster than Botox, so you may notice results even sooner.
Xeomin is double-filtered to remove excess proteins. That means each injection contains only what you need to smooth out fine lines. Xeomin has been approved by the FDA for treating moderate-to-severe frown lines between the eyebrows, but it’s also used to treat crow’s feet, frown lines, and other imperfections.
