What are injectables?
There are two main types of injectables: neurotoxins and dermal fillers. The difference is linked to your reason for anti-wrinkle treatment. Injectables can serve different purposes depending on your needs. Some are used to reduce the appearance of facial lines, while others may help restore volume in areas such as the cheeks or lips where natural fullness has changed over time.
Dermal fillers: They are prescription-only gel formulations that are injected beneath the skin to restore volume or soften the appearance of facial lines. Results vary depending on the type used and the treatment area.
Neurotoxins: They are medications made from purified botulinum toxin, used in small doses to reduce movement in specific facial muscles. This may help reduce the appearance of wrinkles in treated areas.
Considering injectables for facial structure or volume loss?
Collagen provides skin structure (1)
Hyaluronic acid provides skin volume (2)
"Dermal fillers are gel-based treatments placed under the skin to support facial volume and soften the appearance of lines. They may also be used in specific areas such as the cheeks to adjust contour and restore structural balance"
Can injectables reduce facial lines over time?
Anti-wrinkle injections may help reduce muscle movement that contributes to dynamic lines. In some cases, early use can soften the development of facial wrinkles.
"Some people begin noticing fine lines in their forties, while others see changes earlier. Small doses of botulinum can reduce the activity of certain muscles, which may help minimise wrinkle formation in treated areas."
How often do you need injectables?
How long do dermal fillers last?
There are many types of dermal fillers, and the longevity and frequency of your filler treatment depends on which type and brand you have chosen.
"The longevity of dermal fillers can vary depending on the area treated, the product used and your individual response. Some patients may notice effects lasting several months, while others return sooner for top-ups, particularly in more active or mobile areas such as the lips".
Anti-wrinkle injections frequency
The effects of anti-wrinkle injections vary depending on the treatment area and individual factors. In many cases, patients return for repeat treatments every few months to maintain results
"Botulinum injections reduce activity in certain facial muscles, which may help soften lines over time. Effects typically take 7 to 14 days to appear. Muscle function gradually returns over a few months, and repeat treatments may be considered depending on your goals and response"
Are injectables safe?
"Pregnant women or women who are breastfeeding should postpone their treatment. When you have recently had a sinus infection, I would recommend holding off as well. Same for when your skin is inflamed; it is better to wait until the problem has resolved. People with bleeding disorders shouldn’t undergo treatment at all."
Frequently Asked Questions
Why Dr Jeremy Rawlins for injectables?
Why go to a plastic surgeon for cosmetic injectables?
Injectables are prescription-only and as the word implies are injected under your skin. Though considered being very safe, if used incorrectly they could damage your skin, and in rare cases cause blindness or serious ill health. That’s why the Therapeutic Goods Administration in Australia has created a checklist so that you can ask the right questions and do your own research.
"As a registered plastic surgeon and medical professional, I comply with all the TGA guidelines. Before we start treatment, we will discuss your medical history during a consultation to make sure you are not allergic or don’t have a bleeding disorder. At my practice, I only use registered products that are safe and comply with the TGA."
"So you might wonder, why go to a plastic surgeon for injectables? In case of a complication (such as an infection, bruising, formation of small lumps), you are in the right hands."
