What is an injectable treatment?

An injectable treatment is a cosmetic procedure in which a liquid is injected into the skin to reduce wrinkles, restore volume, or improve skin quality. The two most common injectables are botox and fillers. Botox relaxes muscles to soften lines and wrinkles, while fillers add volume or enhance facial contours.

Injectables are increasingly being used for prophylactic treatments, addressing skin aging. Injectables are temporary and are broken down by the body after a few months.

If you choose injectables, botulinum toxin (Botox), a filler, or another injectable is injected into the skin. These treatments can help, for example, soften wrinkles, restore volume, or enhance certain (facial) contours. The advantage is that the treatment is minimally invasive while delivering fast results. Many people choose these treatments for wrinkles, loss of volume, and skin aging.

What types of injectable treatments are there?

Botox

Botox is a brand name for botulinum toxin. The active ingredient blocks nerve signals to the muscles. This relaxes the muscles and reduces dynamic wrinkles, such as frown lines (between the eyebrows) and crow's feet (around the eyes).

What you might not know is that Botox treatments are also effective for reducing excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), as well as muscle spasms. The clinics you compare online with us can tell you more about this.

Fillers

Are you considering injectable filler treatment? Compare clinics with us for products like hyaluronic acid fillers (brands like Juvederm and Restylane), collagen fillers, and calcium hydroxylapatite (Radiesse).

For example, fillers can restore volume to the cheeks, lips, and under the eyes. They are suitable for treating static wrinkles and improving facial contours.

Other injectables

Other popular injectables include PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) to rejuvenate the skin, reduce scars, and slow hair loss. And Profhilo, a relatively new injectable to hydrate and firm the skin.

What is best to ask the clinic?

• What experience and qualifications does the treating doctor have?
For example, ask about training, certifications, and experience with injectables.

• Which products are used, and why?
Ask about the brands and types of injectables the clinic uses.

• What are the possible risks and complications?
Ask about side effects and how the clinic normally handles them.

How can you use injectables?

The affiliated clinics can help you with, for example:

• Anti-aging
An injectables treatment is well suited to counteract signs of aging, such as wrinkles and fine lines. Botox treats dynamic wrinkles, while fillers restore facial volume and fill in deep lines.

• Volume restoration
When the skin loses volume, it can lead to a hollow and tired appearance. Fillers help restore volume in the cheeks, temples, lips, and under the eyes. This contributes to a more youthful look.

• Specific problem areas
Looking for a solution for dark circles under the eyes? Fine lines around the mouth? Or loss of jawline definition? Injectables can provide the treatment you’re looking for.

How does an injectables treatment work?

An injectables treatment in clinics often consists of three phases:

1. Preparation
   During the consultation, you discuss your goals and expectations with the doctor. You will also go over your medical history and possible allergies. Good preparation reduces the risk of complications.
   

2. Injectable injection
   The doctor will clean the treatment area and may apply a numbing cream. The injectables treatment usually takes 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the number and size of the areas being treated.
   

3. Aftercare and recovery
   After the treatment, mild swelling, redness, or bruising usually occurs. This disappears after a few days. Avoid intensive physical activity and exposure to extreme heat or cold, at least for the first 24 to 48 hours.

What is the difference between fillers and injectables?

Fillers are a type of injectable, but not all injectables are fillers. The main difference lies in how they work: botox (also an injectable) relaxes muscles to reduce wrinkles, while fillers add volume and restore contours. Fillers are usually made of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that retains moisture and makes the skin firmer. Botox is a muscle relaxant that reduces the activity of certain facial muscles. Both treatments can be combined for an optimal rejuvenating effect.
