We’ve put together this guide to help you choose the perfect combination of cosmetic injectables for you.

Should I get Botox?

Botox injections have been a very popular cosmetic injectable since getting FDA approval for cosmetic use in 2002. This injectable works by causing the muscles under your skin to relax. The result? The fine lines and wrinkles that appear when you make facial expressions are minimized.

Since your skin isn’t wrinkling and folding, it’s able to smooth out, giving you a younger-looking appearance while still letting you make natural expressions. What’s more? When injected, Botox can help prevent deeper wrinkles from forming.

It’s important to understand that results from Botox are technique-dependent. That means the skill of the person administering the injections can make or break your results.

Be sure to choose a provider with experience and knowledge, like the team members at Balboa Medical Center & Spa. Our team members may also recommend products similar to Botox, such as Xeomin® and Dysport®.

What about other cosmetic injectables?

Other cosmetic injectables consist of gel-like substances designed to be injected below the surface of your skin. Called dermal fillers, these injectables help minimize wrinkles and restore the volume in your cheeks that you naturally lose as you age.

The best part about cosmetic injectables? Our team can customize which fillers to use and target different areas of your face depending on your aesthetic goals. For example, we can use them to smooth away the wrinkles around your lips or minimize the lines and folds around your mouth and nose that add years to your appearance.

Dermal fillers work their magic by stimulating your body’s natural production of collagen and elastin. Your body uses these proteins to promote new skin growth. They can also replenish your body’s store of hyaluronic acid, a natural substance that lubricates and moisturizes your skin, improving tone and texture.

Depending on your unique goals, we may recommend one or more of the following:

These non-surgical alternatives to reclaiming your youthful appearance are so effective that they’ve continued to grow in popularity for the last several years. And because they’re created from natural substances your body already produces, injectables are incredibly safe when administered by trained experts, like the team at Balboa Medical Center & Spa.

How do I choose the perfect combination of cosmetic injectables?

Your anti-aging goals are the primary factor to consider when it comes to choosing the right cosmetic injectable or combination of cosmetic injectables for you.

For example, if minimizing crow’s feet around your eyes, frown lines, or wrinkles on your forehead are what you want to treat the most, Botox is a great option. If you’d also like to plump your lips, we may suggest adding a dermal filler.

Some of our patients at Balboa Medical Center & Spa opt to use only one injectable based on their needs. Our patients who combine injectables or add other aesthetic services to their treatment plan are usually the happiest with their results.
