What Are Cosmetic Injections?
Cosmetic injections are best described as treatments designed to inject medication or unique ingredients into the skin to eliminate or reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and folds throughout the face.
Some of the most popular cosmetic injections include Botox and dermal fillers such as Juvedermยฎ. Botoxยฎ is a neuromodulator, meaning it blocks impulse signals from nerves to muscles, while dermal fillers are commonly made with hyaluronic acid and other ingredients designed to help restore lost volume in certain areas of your face.
Which Type of Injection Should I Choose?
When making the decision on which injection is right for you, Dr. Charlotte Ann Rhee of Huntington Station, NY, recommends seeking out advice from a licensed expert like herself. During an initial consultation, she will be able to evaluate your skinโs condition and suggest the best treatment options available to you. Generally speaking, neuromodulators such as Botoxยฎ are used for addressing wrinkles caused by muscles, known as dynamic wrinkles, and dermal fillers are best used to add volume directly to the fine lines and wrinkles to smooth the skin. In some cases, you can even combine the two for a “liquid facelift” to enjoy both immediate and long-lasting results.
