"The truth about injectables"
BOTOX & FILLERS
Let's get the story straight... I don’t hate Botox and fillers!
However, what I do stress/recommend is preparing your skin to be as healthy as possible before any treatment. It’s crucial to start with good skin and maintain a consistent skincare routine to ensure optimal results.
Why, you ask? Let me explain!
Put simply, the skin is a canvas integral to the healing process and risk management of most treatments. Without healthy skin, not only will you not look your best, but you also won’t achieve the best results from treatments.
Professional facials and a comprehensive skincare regimen are ESSENTIAL to addressing photodamage, pigmentation, acne, lines, large pores, oily skin, and dryness.
Botulinum toxin, commonly known as Botox, is a popular treatment for wrinkle correction. It’s the most common cosmetic procedure globally, temporarily relaxing the muscles that cause wrinkles. As we age and collagen production decreases around age 25, our skin thins, and lines and wrinkles become more pronounced. By maintaining skin health, your skin becomes thicker, firmer, and more elastic, making Botox results look more natural and last longer.
Dermal Fillers
As we age, facial fat decreases in previously plump areas like the temples and under the eyes, while volume increases around the jaw, forming jowls. Combined with a loss of bone density, this results in significant volume loss and more wrinkles. Dermal fillers restore this lost volume and add plumpness where needed. Prepping your skin ensures optimal results by encouraging thicker skin and boosting elastin and collagen production, resulting in a more youthful appearance.
Key Takeaways
If you’re considering Botox and fillers, make sure you:
1. Start with healthy skin.
2. Continue regular monthly facials and a robust skincare routine.
Proper skin care enhances the benefits of Botox and fillers, ensuring you achieve the best, most lasting results, and save money in the long run.
