What are Injectables?

When we talk about injectables, we refer to specific substances that can be injected into the skin utilizing very thin needles and to rectify certain skin concerns or conditions.

Widely used in cosmetic surgery, injectables are of many different types and offer a safer, more comfortable, and less invasive way to address and treat skin issues without more aggressive cosmetic surgery procedures.

These are the main substances used in injectables:

Calcium hydroxylapatite: This is a compound that occurs naturally in human bones.
Hyaluronic acid: This is a natural substance that is found in tissues and fluids of our body.
Polyalkylimide: This is a clear gel that, while not being naturally produced by our body, is fully compatible with it.
Polylactic acid: This substance helps promote the skin’s natural production of collagen.
Polymethyl-methacrylate microspheres (PMMA): This is a semi-permanent filler.

What are Injectables Used For?

Injectables – also known as dermal fillers and soft tissue fillers – are used to add volume, plumpness, and firmness to the skin. As a result, the skin will look younger, healthier, and more radiant.

How Do Injectables Work?

Because there are so many different types of injectables, the way they work is different depending on which specific filler you choose. Generally speaking, injectables work by:

Adding volume to the lips
Enhancing shallow areas of the face
Improving the appearance of facial scars
Softening wrinkles and fine lines

What are the Differences Between Dermal Fillers and Neuromodulators?

There are two different categories of injectables: dermal fillers and neuromodulators. Let’s discover the differences below.

Dermal fillers: These are substances that are similar to gel, and that can be injected underneath the skin. They are usually aimed at enhancing facial contours, reducing the appearance of wrinkles, and volumizing specific areas of the face.
Neuromodulators: These are injectable neurotoxins, such as BOTOX. They are injected into the skin in very small amounts and can temporarily halt the contraction of facial muscles. These injectables can soften fine lines and wrinkles and help achieve a smoother, firmer complexion.

What to Expect from These Treatments?

The way injectables work varies slightly according to the specific type of filler that you choose. Before starting your treatment, it’s essential to schedule a consultation with Dr. Learn to discuss your individual situation and requirements.

Following this initial appointment, Dr. Learn will book you in for your first session, during which she will gently inject your chosen filler into the specific area of your face that you wish to target. Results can be appreciated after just a few days, and they tend to last up to six months.
