In the world of beauty, achieving a radiant and youthful appearance no longer requires invasive surgeries or lengthy recovery times. Today, aesthetic injectables offer a non-surgical alternative to achieving smoother skin, defined features, and overall facial rejuvenation.
Understanding what these injectables are, how they work, and their unique benefits can help you make the best decision for your beauty goals.
What Are Injectables?
Injectables are medical treatments administered through cosmetic injections, designed to enhance the appearance of your skin and facial contours. There are two main types of injectables—dermal fillers and neurotoxins. Each works differently, but both offer remarkable results in the hands of trained professionals.
- Dermal Fillers. Composed primarily of hyaluronic acid (a substance naturally found in the body), dermal fillers add volume to areas that have lost fullness due to aging, improve facial symmetry, and smooth out wrinkles and fine lines.
- Neurotoxins. These include Botox®, Xeomin®, and Dysport®. They are made from botulinum toxin, which relaxes the muscles that cause wrinkles, leading to smoother skin.
Knowing the difference between these two categories is important when choosing the right injectable for your specific needs. Each has its own set of benefits and addresses various concerns.
Understanding the Types of Injectables We Offer
At Luminare Aesthetics & Wellness, we provide a range of injectables that target everything from wrinkles to double chins. Let’s take a deep dive into how each treatment works and the benefits they bring.
Dermal Fillers—Volumizing and Smoothing for a Youthful Appearance
Dermal fillers are a popular choice for those looking to restore lost volume, smooth out deep wrinkles, or enhance facial features like the lips and cheeks. Our dermal fillers are made primarily of hyaluronic acid, which provides a plumping and hydrating effect to the skin.
How They Work: Dermal fillers are injected into specific areas of the face to add volume, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. Over time, as we age, our skin loses collagen and elasticity. Dermal fillers step in to restore that youthful fullness.
Benefits:
- Adds volume to sunken areas like the cheeks
- Plumps and enhances lips
- Smoothes deep wrinkles and nasolabial folds
- Provides a natural-looking lift without surgery
- Quick results with minimal downtime
Dermal fillers are a go-to for those wanting to achieve a refreshed look without undergoing surgery. Results are immediate and can last from six months to over a year, depending on the product used.
Xeomin®—A Purified Wrinkle Solution
Xeomin® is one of the most popular alternatives to Botox®. As a botulinum toxin type A injectable, Xeomin® works by temporarily relaxing the muscles responsible for frown lines, crow’s feet, and other dynamic wrinkles.
How It Works: Xeomin® contains only the active neurotoxin, with unnecessary proteins removed, making it a purer option for those sensitive to additives. It targets the muscles under the skin that cause wrinkles when they contract. By preventing these contractions, Xeomin® softens the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Benefits:
- Ideal for reducing frown lines and crow’s feet
- A purified formula without unnecessary proteins
- Results typically last three to six months
- Works quickly, with noticeable improvements in just a few days
Daxxify—The Long-Lasting Wrinkle Relaxer
Daxxify is the latest in the world of wrinkle relaxers, offering a longer-lasting solution compared to traditional neurotoxins. This treatment is designed to provide up to six months of wrinkle reduction, making it a game-changer for those looking for more sustained results.
How It Works: Like Botox® and Xeomin®, Daxxify uses a botulinum toxin to relax facial muscles, preventing the formation of fine lines and wrinkles. What sets it apart is its peptide-enhanced formula, which offers longer-lasting results without the need for frequent touch-ups.
Benefits:
- Smoothes dynamic wrinkles like crow’s feet and forehead lines
- Results last up to six months or longer
- Fewer follow-up appointments required
- Helps maintain a youthful appearance over time
Kybella®—Eliminating Submental Fullness
For those struggling with a double chin, Kybella® is a revolutionary injectable treatment that targets and destroys fat cells beneath the chin, also known as submental fullness.
How It Works: Kybella® contains deoxycholic acid, a substance naturally found in the body that helps break down and absorb dietary fat. When injected into the area beneath the chin, Kybella® destroys fat cells, which the body then metabolizes and removes naturally.
Benefits:
- Non-surgical enhancement for a more defined jawline
- Permanent fat cell removal, with long-lasting results
- Minimal downtime compared to traditional liposuction
- Effective for reducing the appearance of a double chin
Kybella® is a great option for those looking to contour their lower face and neck without undergoing invasive surgery.
Botox®—The Tried-and-True Wrinkle Treatment
Perhaps the most well-known injectable, Botox® has been a staple in the world of aesthetic treatments for years. Botox® effectively treats dynamic wrinkles caused by muscle movements, like forehead lines, frown lines, and crow’s feet.
How It Works: Botox® uses a small amount of botulinum toxin to temporarily block nerve signals in the targeted muscles. This prevents them from contracting, allowing the skin to smooth out and wrinkles to fade.
Benefits:
- Safe and effective treatment for dynamic wrinkles
- Quick and convenient with minimal downtime
- Results typically last three to four months
- Proven track record with millions of treatments performed worldwide
Dysport®—Smooth Fine Lines and Wrinkles with Precision
Similar to Botox®, Dysport® is another type of botulinum toxin injectable that targets fine lines and wrinkles. It is particularly effective for treating larger areas, like the forehead, as it spreads more easily than Botox®.
How It Works: Dysport® works by relaxing the facial muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles, particularly in larger areas. This treatment is popular among those looking to treat the entire forehead or frown lines between the eyebrows.
Benefits:
- Works quickly, with results noticeable in just a few days
- Ideal for treating larger areas of the face
- Results last up to five months
- Provides a natural-looking reduction in wrinkles
