What are injectables, and how do they work?

• Injectables are non-surgical treatments designed to enhance facial features, restore lost volume, smooth wrinkles, and contour the face. The main types include:

  • Dermal Fillers – Restore volume, plump lips, and define contours

  • Neurotoxins (Botox, Xeomin, Jeuveau) – Relax muscles to reduce fine lines and wrinkles

  • Kybella – Dissolves stubborn fat under the chin and along the jawline

  • Biostimulators (Sculptra, Radiesse) – Stimulate collagen for long-lasting skin rejuvenation

• Each injectable treatment is customized to meet your aesthetic goals.

How long do injectable results last?

• Dermal Fillers: 6-18 months, depending on the type and area treated

• Lip Fillers: 6-12 months

• Neurotoxins: 3-4 months

• Kybella: Permanent fat reduction after 2-4 sessions

• Biostimulators: 1-2+ years, as collagen production continues

• Longevity varies based on metabolism, lifestyle, and treatment area.

Are injectables painful?

• Minimal discomfort – A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment

• Lidocaine-infused fillers help make the procedure comfortable

• Most clients describe it as a quick pinch or slight pressure

• The procedure is well-tolerated, with little to no downtime.

What is the downtime after injectables?

• Minimal downtime – Most clients resume normal activities immediately

• Mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness may occur but resolves within a few days

• Avoid strenuous exercise and alcohol for 24-48 hours to minimize swelling

• Injectables fit into your routine with little to no disruption.

How do I know which injectable is right for me?

• For wrinkle reduction & smooth skin: Neurotoxins (Botox, Xeomin, Jeuveau)

• For volume loss & facial contouring: Dermal Fillers (Juvederm, Belotero, RHA, Revanesse)

• For permanent fat reduction under the chin: Kybella

• For long-term collagen stimulation: Biostimulators (Sculptra, Radiesse)

• A consultation with Dr. Argentina ensures a personalized plan for your goals.

Can injectables be combined for a more complete result?

• Yes! Many clients combine fillers, Botox, and biostimulators for full-face rejuvenation

• Example: Neurotoxins + Fillers for smooth, lifted, wrinkle-free skin

• Example: Kybella + Jawline Filler for a chiseled, defined jawline

• Example: Sculptra + Microneedling for collagen stimulation and skin rejuvenation

• A customized approach enhances natural beauty while keeping results subtle and balanced.

What are the risks or side effects of injectables?

• Mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection site (resolves within days)

• Temporary tenderness or slight lumps in filler-treated areas (subsides naturally)

• Rare complications like allergic reactions or vascular issues (minimized by expert injectors)

• Choosing an experienced provider like FINA MedSpa ensures safety and optimal results.

How can I make my injectable results last longer?

• Follow post-care instructions carefully – Avoid touching, rubbing, or massaging the area

• Stay hydrated & maintain a healthy skincare routine

• Use SPF daily to protect against collagen breakdown

• Schedule maintenance treatments as needed

• Proper care helps extend the longevity of your results.
