Intro to Injectables
A beginner's guide to wrinkle reducers, dermal fillers, and biostimulators.
Understanding the Condition
Dynamic wrinkles form from repeated facial expressions, while static wrinkles and volume loss occur due to aging and the natural depletion of collagen and fat pads.
Treatment Suggestions
Wrinkle reducers (like Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin) relax muscles to smooth expression lines. Dermal fillers (like Restylane) restore volume and balance facial proportions. Biostimulators (like Sculptra and Radiesse) encourage long-term collagen production.
Proactive Preventative Care
After injections, avoid strenuous exercise, excessive heat, and massaging the treated area for 24-48 hours. Long-term, protect your investment with a solid medical-grade skincare routine and daily SPF to support skin elasticity.
