What You Need To Know About Cosmetic Injectables

Injectables were once only considered to be relevant for the 40 + patient, but today more and more people in their 20's + 30's are getting Botox and fillers as a wrinkle prevention. So, the question is — if you’re not in your 40s yet, are cosmetic injectables for you?

We know, we know — injectables often have a bad rep because many people go way over the top in overdoing them. However, done well (and with the right patient expectations!) we would argue that injectables should not be noticeable at all. After an injectable treatment, you should look like a refreshed version of yourself!

Although it may seem crazy, starting to think about getting Botox in your mid 20's or early 30's can be a smart move in working towards wrinkle prevention. Left untreated, everyone can experience dynamic wrinkles from repeated facial movements as we squint, smile and use our facial muscles throughout our daily lives.

Fillers are another great option for the 40+ patient who is experiencing natural volume loss that comes with aging. However, it may be something that many of our 20-30 something patients also should consider — fillers may be the answer for anyone who would like more contour of the cheek bones, correction of hollowing/dark circles under the eyes or lip augmentation. Kybella (an injectable that permanently destroys fat under the chin) is also a great injectable option for improving contour of the jawline for adult patients of all ages.

No matter what, make sure you find a provider who is well trained and understands your desired end result, and remember that cosmetic injectables are just one path many choose to take on their way to that barefaced glow! Read more about types of cosmetic injectables here.
