Injectables have revolutionized the cosmetic industry by offering a non-surgical way to enhance one’s appearance. With minimal downtime and quick results, injectables have become increasingly popular. However, with the market’s expansion, keeping track of all the different types and brands can be challenging. We all have heard about Botox®, Kybella®, or JUVÉDERM®. This article will provide a comprehensive guide to the other popular injectables available, their uses, and how they work.
Belotero
Belotero is a hyaluronic acid-based filler commonly used around the eyes and mouth to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles on the face. It’s also used to add volume to the lips. Belotero aims to integrate with your skin tissue, resulting in a more natural look. The results can last up to six months.
Dysport® Injectable
Dysport® Injectable is another neuromodulator like BOTOX® Cosmetic, designed to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on the face. Typically, it helps treat frown lines and crow’s feet. Dysport® tends to spread out more than BOTOX® Cosmetic, making it an excellent option for larger areas such as the forehead. Results can last up to six months.
Restylane® Injectable Gel
Restylane® Injectable Gel is a hyaluronic acid-based filler to restore volume and smooth out moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds. It commonly helps treat nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and other facial areas. The results can last up to a year.
Sculptra® Aesthetic Facial Injectable
Sculptra® Aesthetic Facial Injectable is a unique injectable treatment that gradually replaces lost facial collagen. The active ingredient, poly-L-lactic acid, stimulates collagen production, leading to an overall improvement in the face’s appearance. Results are not immediate and typically require a series of treatments. Once achieved, results can last up to two years.
Xeomin®
Xeomin® is another neuromodulator like BOTOX® Cosmetic, and Dysport® Injectable used to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on the face. It works by blocking the signals that cause muscles to contract. Xeomin® is commonly used to treat frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead wrinkles. Often, it is chosen by patients who have developed a resistance to other neuromodulators. Results typically last 3-6 months.
