What to Know Before Your First injectables Injection

Posted on by Ivory Aesthetics

The skincare and aesthetic space is a dynamic one with new products and treatments hitting shore almost every day. Out of the many treatments and therapies promising tighter and wrinkle-free skin, injectables injections have transcended trends. Before jumping on what you should know before getting your first injectables injection, here’s a little bit of a history on the treatment.

What is injectables?

Approved by the FDA in 2022, Allergan’s injectables has become the number one treatment for anyone looking to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles typically caused by facial expressions such as smiling, frowning, squinting etc. Essentially, injectables is micro doses of botulinum toxin injected into the skin to temporarily paralyze muscles. Since muscles cannot contract, it prevents the face from forming deep lines or wrinkles. Once the botulinum wears off, the face bounces back to its original form. Follow up sessions are recommended to continue experiencing smooth, wrinkle-free skin.

What should you keep in mind before your first injectables injection?

Even though injectables is a relatively simple non-surgical treatment to treat fine-lines and wrinkles, there are a few things to know beforehand.

Consult, consult, consult:

No matter how much you’ve read online and how many friends you’ve spoken to, everyone’s skin is unique. The recommended number of injections and follow up session may vary from person to person. Speaking with a certified aesthetician or dermatologist with significantly help in charting the course of your treatment.

injectables can be used as preventive therapy:

While there is no right or wrong time to start your injectables journey it will help to know that starting neurotoxin injections in your early twenties can have a preventative effect on wrinkles, which means it could help prevent wrinkles from ever starting!

Does it hurt?

We know you’re thinking about it. The long answer is that you will feel minimal pain or discomfort during the procedure. It involves no downtime or recovery period and doesn’t take more than 30-45 minutes. The short answer is- Yes.

List down your medication/supplements for your therapist:

If you take regular supplements, it is prudent to inform your therapist of the same. Some supplements are known to thin the blood and increase the chances of bruising and for a painless, bruise-less experience it is recommended to pause them before your appointment.

Set realistic expectations:

Given the simple nature of treatment, it is important to consider that injectables results are not effective immediately. You are likely to notice results in 4-5 days after getting the injection.

If you are looking to get your first injectables injection session, make an appointment at Ivory Aesthetics Clinic, where our certified aestheticians and dermatologists will ensure that your journey is seamless and as happy as can be.

Love the skin you’re in with Plasma Pen Skin tightening

Posted on by Ivory Aesthetics

Loose skin will never be in. 

Let’s face it. Ageing takes a toll not just on our skins and surfaces but also on our self-esteem. Saggy skin interferes with one’s confidence and can be the cause of discomfort- especially in a public setting. Enter Plasma Pen Skin Tightening- a revolutionary non-invasive technique that will eradicate loose skin and has minimal recovery time.

How does Plasma Pen Skin Tightening treatment work?

Also popularly known as Fibroblast treatment, it is a non-invasive alternative to surgical skin tightening procedures. It enables one to tackle sagging skin issues without going under the knife and dedicating weeks into after-care and recovery. The therapist uses a Plasma Pen to shrink the targeted skin. The tissues under the skin tighten during the procedure so the skin becomes elastic and taut. Post-treatment, the skin continues to tighten.

Does Plasma Pen Skin Tightening treatment have any side effects?

Before the therapist starts with the session, they apply a numbing cream. It is not uncommon to discover that your skin is abnormally red and may show signs of swelling immediately after the procedure. While this procedure is almost painless, a few patients have known to experience some amount of discomfort during it. It should be noted that patients experience peeling of the skin after the procedure. However, they are advised against picking it and let it naturally fall off to reveal the new skin underneath. Compared to surgical skin tightening procedures, the Plasma Skin Tightening side effects are far less. 

The length of your skin tightening treatment depends on the targeted area and can go on from 30 minutes to up to 2 hours. A numbing and healing cream is applied before and after the procedure to ensure minimal discomfort and accelerate the healing process. It should be noted that patients have noticed results immediately after their session and continue to see the effects weeks after the session. Improved production of collagen leads to the skin looking tight and glowing! 

To understand the procedure and its benefits in more detail, book a consultation for Plasma Pen Skin Tightening at Ivory Aesthetics Clinic, Al Wasl Road, Dubai.

While we mostly associate acne with teenagers, the truth is that acne can happen to anyone at any time. Adults can suffer from acne that seems like it might never go away. Acne can be caused by diet, or by excess oil on the skin and clogged pores. Hormonal acne develops when hormonal changes increase the amount of oil your skin produces.

What is ClearSkin laser treatment?

The new ClearSkinTM is the first technology to combine a non-ablative laser with simultaneous contact cooling and vacuum technology to treat your patient’s skin safely and effectively.

Genetics

Take a look at your parents and your grandparents. Do they struggle with dark under-eye circles? Genetics is a major reason why people struggle with dark under-eye circles.
