Cosmetic Injectables: The Ultimate Guide
In Australia, well over 1 billion dollars are spent every year on cosmetic injectables. Some of the most popular of these cosmetic procedures are those which are minimally invasive. Cosmetic Injectables are easily and quickly performed, so they fit easily around a busy schedule, such as after dropping the kids at school or on a lunch break.
Due to cosmetic injectables' non-surgical nature, they do not require time away from everyday life commitments, only require localised anaesthesia and have a rapid recuperation time. Cosmetic injectable procedures' sheer convenience, availability, and affordability make them an attractive alternative to surgical interventions.
In addition, as of July this year, the Medical Board of Australia has set stringent mandates on practitioners of cosmetic procedures. These changes have created a greater trust and professional respect for cosmetic injectable procedures, their efficacy and safety.
Procedures
Mainly due to advances in technological and procedural innovations, Thanks to technological breakthroughs and the invention of safer instruments, cosmetic injectable treatments are now commonplace. The purpose of these procedures is to subtly create a smoothened and even facial appearance, to create a redefined visage that appears more balanced and rejuvenated.
Allure Women’s Health often uses these procedures in tandem with other treatments. Treatments are used to minimise wrinkles, produce volume and reduce age associated with facial changes, such as sagging skin. When considering a cosmetic injectable professional to carry out facial augmentation work, there are several important considerations that clients found important.
The CIPEES study (cosmetic injectables patient experience exploratory study) showed the following conclusions. Firstly, most respondents cited trust in the procedure and practitioner as most relevant. Shortly followed by education, qualifications, training and lastly good reputation of the practice and practitioner.
Wrinkle Reducing Agents
Injections that act as muscle relaxants serve to relax specific targeted facial muscles. A small amount of Botulinum toxin is injected into specific areas, reducing and sometimes eliminating fine lines. It also works to tighten the skin in these areas and can be used to create a more balanced and slender face.
Softening fine lines on the forehead and around the eyes are popular choices for wrinkle reducing treatment. Other uses include treating facial asymmetry, jawline definition, chin dimpling and hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating).
Bio-Synthetic Remodelling
Bio remodelling addresses the underlying layers of deep dehydration. Once these epidermal layers are agitated, the body produces elastin and collagen to repair this tissue. In effect, whereas cosmetic injectables seek to combat particular lines or wrinkles, bio remodelling stimulates several layers and, therefore, the whole skin area is targeted In the dermal layers.
This procedure nourishes the skin and produces greater elasticity and radiance. Popular areas treated include the hands, décolletage, face, under eyes, arms and stomach.
Dermal Volumizer
Dermal Volumizers are injectable treatments that create volume and hydration in a specific facial area. Hyaluronic acid (hyaluronate) is a substance that occurs naturally in the body. When injected into specific facial areas creates a more plump and youthful appearance.
Dermal Volumizers increase the look of sunken cheeks, lines around lips and the eyes, and brow furrows. Many clients also find dermal volum positively affect the appearance of deeper wrinkles, such as laughter lines and crow's feet.
Bio-Stimulator Injectables
Bio-stimulator injections tackle the underlying layers of dehydrated skin and stimulate them to begin the repair process. Ingredients bio-engineered to resemble naturally produced chemicals are injected into treatment areas to fool the body into rapid collagenic repairs.
This procedure is beneficial in dealing with age-related loss of skin texture and tone. Hollow cheeks, papery skin, wrinkled temples and delicate areas around the eyes and mouth are particularly good candidates for this treatment.
Thread Lifting
This type of cosmetic injectable has steadily gained in popularity over recent years. Thread lifts involve inserting and depositing a self-dissolving thread under the skin and fat layers of the desired area. The insertion implement delivers the thread along a predetermined route and then retracts, leaving the thread in place.
Tension on the placed thread then creates a lifted effect. In addition, the placement process elicits a healing response from within the body, producing elastin. Ideal for lifting the neck and brow area. With results seen soon after the procedure and results lasting up to 3 months approximately.
Fat Dissolving Injections
This treatment, medically referred to as lipolytic injection, is designed to dissolve stubborn pouches of localised fat resistant to diet and lifestyle changes. Sometimes these pockets of lipid tissue are challenging, if not impossible, to remove in traditional ways.
However, they often respond by administering a deoxycholic acid solution to the localised, targeted area. When the lipolytic injection is administered and comes into contact with lipid cells, it destroys them, literally dissolving them.
