Injectables: You’ve likely heard the term sometime in your life—and probably have associated it with a “frozen face” or some other misconception. Most people don’t realise how common they are, or understand how they work.

What are Injectables?

To put it simply, an injectable is a prescribed medicine that is inserted into a muscle— aimed to temporarily enhance the look of frown lines, wrinkles or crow’s feet. Injectables have been studied extensively and are used for cosmetic purposes all over the world.

Aside from its cosmetic use, injectables have been approved to treat overactive bladders, excessive sweating, and migraines —as well as chronic conditions that affect muscles including; stiffness, pain, and spasms.

How does it work?

If you’re looking into cosmetic injections, you most likely have wrinkles and frown lines or perhaps you’re just curious. But, injectables can also stop lines and wrinkles, from appearing before they are even visible.

No matter what you want to achieve with cosmetic injections, it’s a fairly straightforward procedure. If your primary objective is to treat crow’s feet or frown lines, the injections will be inserted into the muscles in your forehead and by the side of your eyes. No numbing agent is needed, as the injections cause minimal to zero discomfort and are done in a matter of minutes!

Every patient experience is different, but normally results can be seen in just a couple of days.
