In a bid to slow down the aging process, facial injectables have become increasingly popular as an effective method to slow down aging and maintain a more youthful appearance. These non-invasive procedures offer an alternative to surgical interventions, providing immediate results with minimal downtime.
In this blog, we will explore how facial injectables can help in preventing aging and achieve a radiant, youthful complexion.
What are Facial Injectables?
Facial injectables are aesthetic treatments administered through a hypodermic needle and should be carried out in a clinical setting by a qualified professional. There are various types of facial injectables available, each targeting specific concerns and achieving different results. Some commonly used injectables to fight the signs of aging are:
Botulinum Toxin
Botulinum Toxin is a muscle relaxant. By relaxing various muscles in your face, you can reduce the creation of fine lines and wrinkles in key areas of the face prone to aging.
Dermal Fillers
Dermal Fillers are substances injected into the skin to restore volume, enhance or contour areas and smooth fine lines and wrinkles. Most dermal fillers are made of organic substances naturally occurring in the body such as Hyaluronic Acid.
Skin Rejuvenation Treatments
Skin Rejuvenation Treatments include Skinboosters such as Profhilo which hydrates, plumps the skin and encourages the production of collagen in the upper dermis for longer lasting effects.
Biostimulators such as Harmonyca made by Allergan aim to rejuvenate and enhance facial features and slow down the aging process by using a hybrid of HA and calcium microspheres to stimulate the immune system. This helps fibroblasts to create new collagen and Elastin resulting in skin tightening.
Polynucleotides are a new generation of biostimulators for the face that have been used in medicine for many years for tissue healing. They are able to reduce inflammation and stimulate the immune system using DNA fragments to restore itself.
The Benefits of Facial Injectables in Preventing Aging:
1. By relaxing your muscles and plumping the skin through dermal fillers, you can delay the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles if treated preventatively. For fine lines and wrinkles already present you can soften and reduce their appearance, particularly in areas such as the forehead, around the eyes, and the mouth.
2. Dermal fillers can improve your skin’s texture and restore volume in the face, resulting in plumper, smoother skin and a more youthful contour.
3. By opting for Facial Rejuvenation treatments with stimulating properties, you can tackle the aging process long term by stimulating collagen production within the skin’s layers, leading to improved skin elasticity and firmness over time.
4. Facial injectables are minimally invasive and offer natural-looking results without the need for surgery or extensive downtime.
5. Injectable treatments can be tailored to address individual concerns and achieve results which meet the needs of each patient.
What Next?
1.Before undergoing any injectable treatment, it is important to consult with a trained and experienced provider to discuss your goals, expectations, and any potential risks or side effects.
2. To get the most out of your injectable treatment you should maintain a healthy skincare routine at home using a quality cleanser, toner and moisturizer. For a further boost to your treatment outcome, medical grade skin care products by brands such as Alumier & Obaji can be prescribed by your facial aesthetics practitioner. Products include exfoliants, SPFs, Vitamin C serums and Retinol based products. Taking this approach can help prolong the results and improve skin health.
3. Eating a balanced diet, staying hydrated, getting enough sleep are essential in preserving skin health and enhancing the effects of facial injectables. You should avoid too much sun and if you are a smoker aim to quit or cut down in the short term.
4. Depending on the type of injectable used, periodic touch-up treatments may be necessary to maintain results and continue preventing the signs of aging.
