Injectables are a popular cosmetic treatment option in Miami for those looking to enhance their appearance without undergoing invasive surgical procedures. There are two main types of injectables: neurotoxins and dermal fillers.
What are neurotoxin Injectables?
Neurotoxins are injectable treatments that work by temporarily relaxing the muscles in the treated area. This can help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles that are caused by repetitive facial expressions, such as frown lines, forehead lines, and crow’s feet. Neurotoxins will give your skin a soft, smooth, natural appearance. The sensation associated with this procedure is minimal and most patients compare it to a bug bite. This procedure can be done rather quickly [i.e. during a lunch break] and a patient may return back to work with no downtime.
What are dermal fillers?
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments that work by adding volume and fullness to the treated area to help to create a smoother and/or fuller appearance in the face, including nasolabial folds, cheeks, and lips, and for increasing the volume of the back of the hand. Dermal fillers can also be used to fill in deep wrinkles and folds. Soft tissue fillers have a temporary effect because they contain materials that are absorbed by the body over time. The FDA has approved only one product made from a material that remains in the body and is not absorbed. Some soft tissue fillers also contain lidocaine, which is intended to decrease pain or discomfort related to the injection.
