When you look at your face in the mirror, how do you feel? Many women find that as they age, they grow less pleased with the face that smiles back. This is normal, but it’s not what you deserve. You deserve to fall in love with your face all over again – and injectables allow you to do just that.
Injectables, including fillers and neurotoxins, can be used in many different areas. However, these anti-aging treatments are especially effective for furrowed brows. By softening the wrinkles, furrows, and fine lines that form along an aging brow line, injectables can instantly make your face appear more youthful and pleasant.
Subtle, Natural Results
When we suggest injectables to clients, there’s a question they so often ask: “Will I still look like myself?” The short answer to this question is “yes.” But allow us to dig a little deeper into the concern that lies beneath this question.
Clients are sometimes afraid that injectables will make them look stiff, unnatural, or non-expressive. In reality, injectables that are administered by a qualified professional should never have this effect. Instead, they’ll simply fill and smooth your brow, softening your expression overall.
You’ll still look like yourself after injectables, just like a younger version of you. While results vary, clients often feel they’ve rewound the clock 10 or even 15 years. The face you see in the mirror will be one you recognize. You might even find it more familiar and comforting than the aging face you’ve been seeing lately.
Choosing an Injectable
One secret to getting natural-looking results with injectables is to choose the one that best fits your own, unique skin and its qualities. Don’t worry; you don’t have to make this decision yourself! Experienced practitioners, like those at Balance MedSpa, can guide you towards the best anti-aging product.
If you find that your wrinkles and fine lines are most obvious when you’re making facial expressions, then we’ll likely suggest neurotoxin injections. They’re a great 11-line treatment because they temporarily paralyze the muscles under your skin. By doing so, they stop your skin from wrinkling so dramatically when you smile, frown, or emote. We’ll be careful to use just enough to ease your wrinkles without making you look stiff, plastic, or expressionless.
You may find that the wrinkles on your forehead are present all of the time, no matter what expression you’re making. In this case, dermal filler injections may be the better choice. They add back the volume that your skin has lost with age. Fillers smooth out your skin, making it look more plump and youthful. We’ll add just enough to bring back your youthfulness, but not so much that your skin looks overly pulled or taut.
And what if you have fine lines that are always there, but deepen into more obvious furrows when you frown or smile? This is actually really common, and this type of wrinkle tends to respond well to a combination of fillers and neurotoxins. For example, we may use a little filler in your forehead lines, plus some Botox at the bridge of your nose as an 11 lines treatment.
Results and Recovery
Luckily, whether we choose Botox, fillers, or a combination of the two, recovery from these anti-aging treatments will be quick and easy. You may have some mild redness and swelling for a day or two after treatment. Simply minimize sun exposure and avoid using any harsh cleansers or serums until this clears.
If you receive Botox or another neurotoxin, your skin may feel stiff for a couple of days. But rest assured that this, too, will fade as your skin and muscles adapt.
When it comes to Botox, Orlando clients typically find their results last about three months. You may find your results last even longer with repeated treatments. Fillers can last even longer; some last as long as 18 months!
You can help extend the results of injectables by taking good care of your skin between appointments. Use a gentle, effective moisturizer that suits your skin type. You should also apply sunscreen daily, remove makeup every evening, and eat a diet rich in vitamins and minerals. Drinking plenty of water also helps keep skin plump, healthy, and wrinkle-free!
It’s time to say goodbye to the tired, cross-looking version of yourself and fall in love with your face again. Injectables can ease wrinkles, smooth fine lines, and restore your youthful appearance.
