Tips for Making Your Injectable Treatments Look Natural

Are you interested in cosmetic enhancement with injectable treatments like dermal fillers and Botox®? Injectables remain highly popular for good reasons. 

These short-term, reversible treatment options let you address appearing lines and wrinkles, lost facial volume, and other visible signs of aging. With injectables, you can re-contour your face to achieve the desired look.

What about horror stories about Botox gone wrong, results that look fake or unattractive, or overly heavy facial paralysis that takes away your ability to make natural-looking expressions? The wrong provider can create an unnatural appearance with cosmetic treatments. 

Not all cosmetic injection providers possess the same aesthetic knowledge and experience-based skills. That doesn’t mean you have to give up on cosmetic injectables. At Lasercare Skin Clinic of Little Rock, Arkansas, experienced provider Dr. Bruce Sanderson and our team advise patients on attaining natural-looking, appearance-enhancing results.

Here are some of Dr. Sanderson’s key pieces of advice for ensuring that you feel great about your injectable results from start to finish.

Tip #1: Work with experienced professionals

The best way to get great results from injections is to partner with experienced professionals for your treatment. Not everyone has a steady hand or an in-depth understanding of how conservatively to administer injections like Botox. Dr. Sanderson is a licensed physician who uses discretion with your treatment for natural-looking but appearance-refreshing results.

Tip #2: Pick the injectables that are right for you

Different types of cosmetic injectable products work better to address various types of aesthetic concerns. Dr. Sanderson plans your treatment with you and advises you on the best injectable lines to consider.

Botox effectively reduces the appearance of dynamic wrinkles, the creases in your skin that form due to muscle movement. With Botox, it’s important to ensure that you retain facial expressiveness, an area where Dr. Sanderson excels.

You can also use different dermal fillers to add volume to areas of your face, such as your cheeks or lips. With volume-enhancing fillers, it’s important to understand facial scale and symmetry so that your results don’t overwhelm your natural features.

Tip #3: Optimize injection positioning

With cosmetic injectables, slight differences in injection positioning create changes in eventual results. Your injection treatment only takes a short time to complete. Dr. Sanderson places conservative doses of your chosen injectable at the right locations to enhance your features subtly, working with your face's natural contours.

Tip #4: Follow pre-care and aftercare instructions

While a lot of the naturalness of results with cosmetic injectables rests in the hands of your provider, your actions also impact how well your injection treatment turns out.

Dr. Sanderson provides detailed instructions on how to prepare for your injection appointment and how to care for the treatment area afterwards. You may need to follow instructions about sun and heat exposure, caffeine or alcohol intake, and facial cleansing.
