What Are Cosmetic Injectables?
Cosmetic injectables are designed to enhance the appearance of the face and body.
They can reshape, add volume, and smooth out wrinkles by addressing age-related collagen loss.
Why Use Injectables?
As we get older, our bodies produce less collagen, which can lead to wrinkles and sagging skin.
Injectables help restore volume and improve symmetry, giving patients a more youthful appearance. They can also treat issues like excessive sweating or help with hair growth.
Who Can Benefit?
Patients from various backgrounds seek injectables for both aesthetic and medical reasons.
Ideal candidates are healthy, committed to skincare, and have realistic expectations about the outcomes.
Types of Injectables:
Toxins (e.g., Botox) - Prevent muscle contraction to smooth wrinkles.
Fillers (e.g., Hyaluronic Acid) - Provide volume and shape.
Why Add Injectables to Your Practice?
Incorporating injectables can diversify revenue streams for practices and increase career opportunities for healthcare providers, enhancing their value in the competitive landscape of patient care.
