Injectables are a powerful tool in the aesthetic world, offering solutions for wrinkle treatment, volume loss, and facial contouring. However, without proper knowledge, patients may face unexpected outcomes.

Understanding the nuances of treatments like Botox®, dermal fillers, and hyaluronic acid injections is crucial. This guide addresses common questions and concerns, providing clarity and confidence for those considering injectables.​

What Are Injectables?

Let’s be real: not all glow-ups need a scalpel. Injectables are the sleek, modern way to dial up your look without downtime, drama, or commitment to surgery. These treatments are minimally invasive yet deliver max impact—elevating your features, smoothing out creases, and giving your skin that subtle snapback energy you didn’t know you were missing.

So, what exactly falls under the injectables umbrella? Let’s break it down:

• Botox®: The OG of wrinkle treatment. This neuromodulator works by temporarily relaxing the facial muscles that cause expression lines—think frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead creases. It’s precise, effective, and iconic for a reason.
  
• Xeomin, Jeuveau, Dysport: These are Botox®’s equally fierce sisters—each with slightly different formulations but the same goal: freeze those fine lines without freezing your face. You still get movement, just none of the wrinkles.
  
• Dermal Fillers: These are your go-to for volume and shape. Whether it’s high cheekbones, a lifted jawline, or a subtly plumper pout you’re after, dermal fillers deliver. Most are made with hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance that binds moisture and creates that youthful, hydrated glow.
  
• Hyaluronic Acid Injections: These aren’t just about volume—they’re about skin health. Think of them as hydration bombs for tired, dull skin. The kind of treatment that works silently but makes your selfies hit differently.
  
• Lip Fillers: Yes, they deserve their own moment. Whether you’re enhancing what you already have or looking for a more balanced shape, lip fillers offer customizable results with buildable beauty.

Injectables are the unsung heroes behind many of today’s most effortless beauty looks. Whether you’re smoothing, sculpting, or snatching—it’s all about bringing out your features without losing your edge.

FAQs Before Your Treatment

Injectables may be quick and convenient, but don’t get it twisted—they’re still medical procedures. That means you need to come prepared, ask questions, and trust the hands that are treating you.

If you’re not sure where to start, we’ve got you. Here’s everything you need to know before you hit the chair:

1. How do I know which injectable is right for me?

First, get clear on your goals. Want smoother skin with fewer lines? Go with a wrinkle treatment like Botox®, Dysport, Xeomin, or Jeuveau. Want a fuller face, better contour, or a juicy pout? Dermal fillers or hyaluronic acid injections are more your vibe.

A skilled injector will assess your facial structure, skin condition, and aesthetic goals to curate a treatment plan that serves your face—not someone else’s.

2. Will I look “overdone”?

No—unless you want to. Modern injectables are all about subtlety. When done right, you should look refreshed, not frozen. At Jeuje Aesthetics & Wellness, we believe in enhancing your features, not replacing them. Think less “new face” and more “woke up like this.”

Your facial expressions will still move naturally—you’ll just look like you’ve been sleeping well, hydrating, and living your best life. Friends may ask if you just got back from vacation or changed your skincare, but they won’t be able to pinpoint what’s different. That’s the art of good injectables: invisible upgrades with high-impact confidence.

3. How long does the treatment take?

Most treatments are done in under 30 minutes. Yes, you can literally pop in on your lunch break, get your lips plumped or your forehead smoothed, and bounce. It’s the beauty equivalent of a power move.

The appointment includes a short consultation to map out your treatment goals, and the actual injections are fast and precise. No need to block out your whole day or cancel plans—efficiency is part of the glow-up. You’ll leave looking a little more elevated than when you walked in, and no one has to know why unless you tell them.

4. Do injections hurt?

You might feel a pinch, but it’s totally manageable. Many dermal fillers include lidocaine, a numbing agent that makes the process way more comfortable. And topical numbing cream? Always an option.

Most patients describe it as more of a pressure sensation than real pain—quick, fleeting, and over before you know it. If you’re super sensitive, your injector can talk you through extra options to keep you chill. Trust us, it’s not nearly as intense as you imagine—no tears, no drama, just results.

5. What about side effects?

You may see a little redness, swelling, or bruising post-treatment, especially with lip fillers. It’s normal and typically fades within a few days. Your injector will walk you through all possible reactions, so nothing takes you by surprise.

Using ice packs and avoiding alcohol or strenuous activity right after can help minimize any swelling. Some patients like to schedule treatments a few days before major events, just to give everything time to settle. But most side effects are minor, temporary, and totally worth the glow that follows.

6. How soon will I see results?

• With Botox® and similar wrinkle treatments, expect to see results in about 3 to 5 days, with full effects in 10 to 14 days.

• Fillers provide immediate volume, but some swelling is normal at first and can make the area appear slightly fuller. As the swelling goes down over the next few days, the final shape begins to take form, with full results typically visible within a few weeks.

7. How long do results last?

• Botox®-style treatments usually last around 3 to 4 months.

• Dermal fillers can last from 6 months to 2 years, depending on the type and location.

Keep in mind: longevity also depends on how fast your body metabolizes the product. Some people burn through injectables faster. It’s not a flaw—it’s just your body being uniquely you.

8. Can I combine treatments?

Absolutely. A curated mix of Botox® and hyaluronic acid injections can give you a more balanced, lifted look. Think: softened lines, fuller cheeks, and defined lips all at once. It’s like layering your skincare, but way more powerful.

9. Is there any downtime?

Minimal. You might want to lay low for a day if bruising bothers you, but most patients are back to work, brunch, and business as usual the same day.

10. How do I prep for my appointment?

Skip alcohol and blood-thinning meds (like aspirin or ibuprofen) for at least 24 hours before your appointment. They can increase your risk of bruising. Also, come with clean, makeup-free skin—it helps your injector see what’s going on.

11. Who should NOT get injectables?

If you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, or have certain neurological conditions, you’ll want to hold off. Always disclose your full medical history during your consultation—because safety is the new sexy.
