Your Guide to Achieving Natural Results with Injectables
- Posted on: Feb 19 2025
Injectable treatments have grown more and more in popularity over the past couple of years, with millions of treatments being performed annually. From restoring lost facial volume to smoothing out wrinkles and fine lines, these treatments can help address the signs of aging without resorting to surgery.
That said, to achieve natural results using injectables, not only do you have to use the correct product, but you also have to use it in the right way. This blog will explore different procedures that can give you optimal results.
Most Common Types of Injectables
Injectables come in different forms, and your choice depends on your purpose. The most popular options are as follows:
1. Neuromodulators
Neuromodulator injectable treatments are popular for addressing dynamic wrinkles, which form after excessive muscle contraction. Some examples of these wrinkles include crow’s feet, forehead wrinkles, and frown lines.
These treatments stop the signals sent by your nerves from reaching your muscles, relaxing them using a substance called botulinum toxin type A. The most popular option for this is BOTOX® Cosmetic, but products like Dysport® and Xeomin® are similar alternatives.
2. Dermal Fillers
Whereas neuromodulators handle dynamic wrinkles on the upper half of your face, dermal fillers take care of the static wrinkles on the lower half. These wrinkles occur because we naturally lose collagen as we age, causing the skin to have less elasticity and structure.
Dermal fillers use substances like hyaluronic acid (JUVEDERM® or Restylane®), calcium hydroxylapatite (RADIESSE®), or poly-L-lactic acid (Sculptra® Aesthetic) to restore volume and collagen. This can make you appear more youthful as marionette lines, nasolabial folds, and sunken cheeks are reduced.
3. KYBELLA®
Sometimes, the problem might not be that you lack volume on your face but that you have too much in areas where it’s not supposed to be. When the stubborn chin fat refuses to budge despite your best efforts, treatments like KYBELLA® can help you. Using a substance called deoxycholic acid, it breaks down submental fat, leaving your body to remove the damaged cells naturally.
Tips to Obtain Natural Results
All injectable treatments have the potential to offer beautiful results from the very first treatment. However, our skilled providers know that the technique is also essential. Below are a few tips to ensure the fillers complement your face rather than make it look “done.”
-
Start in Small Amounts
When it comes to injectable treatments, you should start the treatment with a conservative approach. Less is more, and you can always come back for touch-ups if you feel like you need to go the extra mile. Getting a small amount at first helps you avoid a dramatic change while offering time to adjust.
-
Focus on Balance and Proportions
Next, you should consider the proportions of your face before getting dermal fillers. For instance, if you plan on getting HA fillers in your cheeks, it might not look very good if you have a weak chin or jawline. It is recommended that you discuss with our providers to see if addressing multiple areas simultaneously would be an ideal suggestion.
-
Consider Combining the Fillers
Plump and youthful cheeks and jawlines might not look very natural if the upper area of your face is packed with dynamic wrinkles. Combining different types of injectables can offer comprehensive results, as each product is made to address a different concern.
-
Be Consistent with the Maintenance
When it comes to achieving natural results, consistency is key. Injectables generally wear off after a few months, and inconsistent skin textures can look unnatural. Scheduling regular touch-ups with our providers is suggested so that you can maintain your appearance and always look your best.
