What are facial injectables?
Facial injectables are minimally invasive medical anti-aging treatments. These can
be used to minimize wrinkles, fill lines and folds, and restore facial contours.
These include toxins, traditional fillers, and collagen replacers.
|
Toxins smooth lines and grooves — typically in the upper face — by temporarily weakening
or paralyzing muscles. Results appear 3-4 days after treatment.
|
Traditional fillers temporarily replace lost fat in the mid to lower face. Each
injection literally fills the space below wrinkles so results are immediate.
|
Collagen replacers are facial injectables that are used
to replace lost collagen, rebuild underlying structure, and reduce appearance of wrinkles.
