Wrinkles! I know what you are thinking – you wish you never had them. Especially not when they come with crows feet, sagging skin, frown lines, furrowed brows, etc.
If you are looking to turn back the clock on your facial appearance without strenuous surgery, botox and fillers may just be the right fit. Over the years, such injectables have gained traction. No wonder botox and fillers are the go-to beauty hack for many people, particularly millennials.
According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic surgery, injectables have seen a 40.6% increase over the last five years. Going to see just any doctor or nurse for injectables could be harmful because they are not taught about botox and dermal fillers. There are specialized agencies that provide training for botox certification. An eligible practitioner can enroll and take courses to learn how to provide such injectables.
Here are five benefits of having botox and dermal fillers:
The Results Are Immediate
There’s a reason such facelifts are called “lunchtime facelifts.” They can be done in 20 minutes or less and require very little downtime. You don’t have to wait for a long time to see the fruit of your labor.
What’s more, these injectables do not unduly interfere with your daily routine. You can easily get a dermal filler and go back to work without worrying about side effects as they are usually minimal.
The Effects Are Subtle
If after having an injectable, someone looks at you and says “oh, you just had a filler?” That is a sign of a poor job.
But if a person looks at you and says “I never noticed your skin is that nice,” that’s a sign that your injector did a good job on you. In essence, a good filler is subtle.
The good news is that these do not dramatically change your physical appearance. The results are subtle yet effective. Thus, you are assured that you won’t come out looking like another person, but you will come out looking like the best version of yourself.
They Complement Each Other
While often used interchangeably, botox and dermal fillers are quite different. For instance, when it comes to wrinkles, botox relaxes dynamic wrinkles while dermal fillers work on static wrinkles. When combined, they complement each other very well.
They Are Non-Surgical Procedures
Everybody is scared of surgery – not just the procedure but the long duration of recovery.
Plastic surgery is very expensive. So, unless you have the time, mental fortitude, and finances for an exhausting plastic surgery, these treatments may just do the trick.
The Effects Are Long-Lasting
While these substances can be handed out in very little time, their effects are long-lasting. In other words, they are not a nine-day wonder.
In most cases, you can enjoy your new youthful glow for half a year or more and with treatment plans, you can prolong the results.
For instance, when using botox to work on lines, be it laugh lines, furrowed brows, or frown lines, it is not just about papering over old lines. These treatments also reduce the probability of new lines popping up.
In Conclusion
The facial cosmetic industry has gained ground in recent years. And for good reason. With age gnawing at our skin and making us dread a peek at the mirror, injectables such as botox and dermal fillers have provided a lifeline.
While some point to side effects of such procedures as a reason to avoid them, those side effects are actually minimal. Once you find a good practitioner, you can trust that they will restore your long-lost smile.
