Injectables are often used for facial rejuvenation, but they can also be used to treat other areas of the body such as the lips or hands. Fillers, on the other hand, are used to fill out sunken areas on your face (like under the eyes) or smooth out wrinkles on your face (like crow’s feet).
Injectables and fillers are two of the most common types of cosmetic procedures. Both are designed to enhance your appearance by reducing the signs of aging, restoring volume lost due to weight loss or illness, and improving the appearance of your skin. However, they differ in the way they are administered and what results can be achieved.
Injectables vs Fillers: Which Is Right for Me?
The first step is to determine whether you would benefit more from injectable or filler treatments. In general, injections are better suited for treating wrinkles and lines on the face, while fillers are better suited for filling out sunken areas like under-eye hollows or cheek hollows. However, there are exceptions to this rule, so it’s always best to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Robert Kearney prior to undergoing any cosmetic procedure.
Injectables, like Botox and Juvéderm, are made of synthetic materials that are injected directly into the skin. They take effect immediately and last for several months. Injectables can be used to treat many common complaints:
- Wrinkles around the eyes
- Frown lines between the eyebrows
- Smile lines around the mouth
- Wrinkles on the forehead
