Injectables, also referred to as skin care treatments, are the category of cosmetic facial treatments that allow women and men to get near-instant rejuvenation results without committing to invasive surgical procedures. Injectables work by adding volume - or in the case of Botox Cosmetic, paralyzing the muscles that encourage wrinkling - to produce a smoother, more younger-looking facial appearance.
As with any cosmetic treatment, there are risks involved with injectables, though they are few.
Redness, pain and swelling at the injection site are a possibility
Risk of allergies will vary depending on the individual
Risk of abscess, skin peeling or infection are rare
Scarring and lump formation is also rare but possible
Side effects like bruising, bleeding, numbness, nausea, and others may be possible, but will vary depending on the injectable substance.
Most patients who seek injectable treatment are considered good candidates. However, to minimize your risk of side effects, please make sure you are honest about your current health, allergies, and health history. Women who are pregnant or those who suffer from autoimmune diseases should not undergo skin care injections. Risks can also be reduced by choosing an experienced cosmetic provider who uses safe practices.
