What is Cosmetic injectables?
Which is right for you?
The two primary categories for cosmetic facial injection are wrinkle relaxing neuromodulators and dermal facial fillers. One helps reduce muscle activity to smooth wrinkles, while the other adds soft volume wherever injected. They work well in harmony, but they are not the same.
Dr. Kallman may recommend facial fillers if you’ve developed hollows due to aging or weight loss. Fillers work well in cheeks, forehead, glabellar lines (known as a number 11’s) nasolabial folds (known as laugh lines) marionettes descending from mouth corners, and the lips which thin with age.
Cohesive hyaluronic acid gels are created from a natural, hydrating substance which is already found in your body. They’re available in thick or thin formulations, and each of these is best suited to particular facial regions and contouring effects. Like a sculptor, Dr. Kallman will combine the best fillers to create the subtle transformations you seek. Most fillers last between 9 – 12 months.
Botox and Dysport are popular neuromodulators for wrinkle-smoothing, and these are typically administered in tiny doses around the eyes, glabellar frown lines, horizontal forehead lines, and even in neckbands. With consistent use over time, Botox can soften the look of wrinkles through reducing dynamic, repetitive muscle movement. Regular treatment every 4 months is usually advised, and the combination of filler and wrinkle injections can keep skin smooth the longest.
Do Cosmetic Injections Hurt?
Pain is minimal after the first injection due to the lidocaine HA filler contains. Skillful application and numbing medication applied before treatment mean our patients report little to no discomfort.
What can you expect from cosmetic injection recovery?
Safe and meticulous injection techniques with an experienced surgeon, like Dr. Kallman, also mean that minimal bruising and swelling will result. We use a pressure technique after injection to limit tiny points of bleeding that lead to bruising.
Our patients are advised to avoid pressure on their treatment area for a day after their appointment. There are very few restrictions required, and many people return to work and regular activities as soon as they wish. Some minor swelling in sensitive areas like the lips may take a few days to resolve completely.
