If you're looking for a non-surgical way to freshen your appearance, a cosmetic injection procedure might be right for you. You won't even need any downtime to recover from a cosmetic injection. Here are the types of injections to consider and how they can be used on your face to enhance your appearance.

Types Of Cosmetic Injections

There are a couple of injections to consider, and you can get both during the same visit. One is the botulinum toxin injection that relaxes muscles so your facial expressions don't create wrinkles, and the other is dermal filler gel that's injected under your skin.

In addition, there are several types of dermal fillers to consider. They are made from different things and work in different ways, so you'll need help from a cosmetic doctor to figure out which filler is right for you. Fat transfer is one possibility that involves removing fat through liposuction on one part of your body and moving it to other areas that need it, such as your face and hands.

You Have Input On The Results

The amount of filler or botulinum toxin that's injected is up to you taking into account advice from your doctor. This ensures you won't end up with lips that are too plump or not plump enough.

If a completely natural look is important to you, you might not want as much filler, especially on your first time. Your doctor can guide you on what's best so you have a good chance of loving your results. Cosmetic injection procedures can smooth away wrinkles and add volume to your face where it's needed, so your doctor can do what's necessary to achieve the look you want.

How Cosmetic Injection Procedures Work

Doctors have specific injection techniques for delivering dermal fillers so they give the best results and so they are safe. Still, there are some areas of your face where your doctor may not want to use fillers, such as your forehead and sides of your eyes. Instead, these areas are commonly treated with botulinum toxin injections.

Both botulinum toxin and fillers are injected with needles, so there could be some discomfort. However, your face may be numbed so you can tolerate the procedure. Cosmetic injection procedures are done in a clinic or office, and the injections go fairly fast. You'll be able to go about your usual business afterward, but you'll need to follow instructions given by your doctor for the best recovery.

Instructions vary according to the type of injection you get and include things like not rubbing your face, avoiding strenuous exercise for a few days, and using ice for pain or swelling. There is a possibility you'll have a little swelling and bruising at the injection sites, so if you're getting the cosmetic treatment for a specific event, plan to have the injections several days in advance so the bruising and swelling will be gone.
