Botox and dermal filler usage is spiking recently because so many of us have been looking at ourselves in our phones and computer monitors more often than ever, and we don\u2019t like the aging image we see looking back. Patients are telling injectors that they\u2019re continuing to use Zoom and other video conferencing software even as the pandemic eases, and they\u2019re wanting to see a more youthful version of themselves on the screen.<\/p>\n
Botox usage was already increasing dramatically, even for younger people. Between 2010 and 2018, usage rose 35 percent, according to statistics from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. But not everyone should be administering the shots, and not every shot is the same. Patients need to select the right practitioner and make the right product decisions.<\/p>\n
Injectables come in two categories: neuromodulators like Botox and dermal fillers.<\/p>\n
Neuromodulators or relaxers are often referenced by the most common brand name, Botox. These injections inhibit nerve communication, relaxing muscles to soften wrinkles and lines that are created from repeated muscle movements. Neuromodulator injections work great on brow lines from frowning and crow\u2019s feet from smiling.<\/p>\n
There are 3 primary neuromodulators on the market:<\/p>\n
Fillers are something completely different and do as the name says \u2013 they fill sunken or hollow spaces to add volume and make the patient\u2019s skin look plumper and more youthful. Many contain hyaluronic acid, but there are other fillers as well. These products can be used for restoring fullness under the eyes, adding structure to cheekbones, filling crevices and deep lines near the mouth and more.<\/p>\n
A special category of dermal fillers, biostimulatory fillers, work inside the body to create new collagen. Some injectors and patients prefer them to hyaluronic acid filler, especially at the temples or jawline.<\/p>\n
Filler brands include Juv\u00e9derm Voluma, which is viscous and is good for creating a lifting effect as well as Volbella, which is more liquid and works better for small areas. There are a range of other choices too.<\/p>\n
The most important factor for a patient seeking neuromodulator or filler injections is choosing the right injector. That could be a well-trained doctor, dentist, nurse practitioner or other medical professional.<\/p>\n
The key is that the chosen injector be well-trained.<\/p>\n
When an injector doesn\u2019t have complete training, patients end up with bad results that may include bulging, facial paralysis, a frozen face or even blindness. Well-trained, experienced injectors know where to place injections and where to avoid, plus they\u2019re trained in managing adverse effects that may happen. Beyond just doing the shots, they can respond to any undesired outcomes.<\/p>\n
