What are cosmetic injectables?
Cosmetic injectables are used to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This may be achieved with the following methods:- Adding volume directly to fine lines and wrinkles
- Reducing muscle contractions, which cause dynamic wrinkles and folds
- Stimulating the natural production of collagen for long-term volume improvement
Types of fillers and injectables
There are four types of cosmetic injectables used for the treatment of aging at the Lupo Center for Aesthetic and General Dermatology. They include:- Hyaluronic acid formulations – products such as Juvéderm and Restylane integrate hyaluronic acid, which attracts water where it is injected. This adds immediate volume that can last several months before reinjection.
- Poly-L-lactic acid – Sculptra Aesthetic is made with poly-L-lactic acid, which helps in stimulating the production of collagen and elastin. This adds volume and helps patients achieve a more youthful look.
- Calcium Hydroxylapatite – Radiesse is made of calcium hydroxylapatite and is an FDA-approved collagen stimulator that can be used on and off the face. This dermal filler offers an effective way to address volume loss for natural-looking results with a duration of a year or longer.
- Neuromodulators – Botox, Dysport and Xeomin relax muscle contractions to smooth the skin.
