Are you tired of looking in the mirror and noticing deep-set wrinkles or sagging cheeks? While age is a factor we can't control, we can do something about these unwanted signs of aging. Cosmetic injectables are an easy way to revive your appearance and boost your self-confidence. Setty Plastics & Aesthetics proudly offers wrinkle relaxers and dermal fillers for patients in Dallas and McKinney, TX.
In this guide, Dr. Naveen Setty explores the world of injectables and how they can improve your look. Call for a consultation and see whether products like BOTOX®, Dysport®, JUVÉDERM®, Kybella®, or Restylane® are right for you.
WHAT ARE INJECTABLES?
Cosmetic injectables are products that are carefully injected into the skin for rejuvenation. They can help reduce wrinkles, plump up areas of volume loss, or enhance certain facial features. Wrinkle relaxers and dermal fillers are two types of injectables that are commonly used.
HOW DO WRINKLE RELAXERS WORK?
As the name suggests, wrinkle relaxers smooth out mild to moderate lines and creases. These products work by blocking nerve signals to the muscles and preventing them from contracting. The overlying skin then becomes smooth, and the wrinkles are less visible. Popular options like BOTOX and Dysport can also prevent further lines from forming.
WHAT ABOUT DERMAL FILLERS?
Dermal fillers, on the other hand, work by plumping up skin from the inside out. As we age, our skin naturally loses some collagen and fat, leading to sagging cheeks or hollows under the eyes. Fillers can also enhance features like the lips and chin. JUVÉDERM is one example of a hyaluronic acid-based filler, which is a naturally occurring substance found in the body. It helps retain moisture as well as add more volume.
ARE COSMETIC INJECTABLES SAFE?
Injectables have been used for decades and are considered safe when done by a qualified provider like the ones at Setty Plastics. During a consultation in Dallas or McKinney, TX, Dr. Setty will evaluate your facial structure and discuss your concerns to determine the best way to move forward. Any potential risks or side effects will also be reviewed.
WHAT HAPPENS DURING TREATMENT?
The treatment process for injectables is quick and minimally invasive. After cleansing the areas involved, a thin needle is used to carefully administer the product. Some patients experience slight discomfort during the procedure, but this can be minimized with a numbing cream or ice packs. Dr. Setty will also provide aftercare instructions to ensure optimal results.
HOW LONG DO THE EFFECTS LAST?
The duration of results varies depending on the type of injectable used and individual factors like lifestyle and metabolism. However, most patients enjoy smoother skin for up to four months when using wrinkle relaxers and up to 18 months with dermal fillers. Touch-up treatments can be booked as needed to maintain your desired look.
