If you have acne scars, wrinkles, or deep furrows on your facial skin, you may feel like they detract from your appearance or make you look older. A possible solution is a cosmetic facial injectable. There are several to choose from, but they all work in similar ways. Here are more details about cosmetic facial injectables. 

The Types Of Cosmetic Facial Injectables

Some injectables are soft and others are hard. This difference helps your practitioner choose the right injectable for the job. For instance, a soft filler might be chosen to plump up your lips. Fillers in general tend to wear off and need to be reapplied. However, they wear off at various rates. Some might last several months and others could be semi-permanent. The fillers that last a short time might be a good place to start if you've never had fillers before.

Some fillers can be reversed and some can be removed. Some are made from hyaluronic acid, which is found normally in your body, and other fillers are made from a biocompatible material that has been used for a long time for other uses such as sutures or dental work. Other fillers may need to be tested on you first to make sure you won't have a reaction.

Because there are several cosmetic facial injectables to choose from and different brands of fillers, your cosmetic doctor will discuss your goals and expectations and point you to the best filler for the job.

Your Body Fat Might Also Be Used As A Filler

Body fat taken from your abdomen or elsewhere could also be used as a dermal filler. This procedure is different since fat has to be removed by liposuction first and then injected into your face. There is a risk the injected fat could die if a blood supply is not established, so you'll want to discuss this option thoroughly with your doctor so you understand the procedure and the pros and cons of it.

Cosmetic Facial Injectables Have Many Purposes

Before you give up on your crow's feet or acne scar pit, talk to a cosmetic doctor about how facial injectables might help you. These injectables can be used for simple lip plumping or to help with facial wasting. They can be used on your cheeks, between your eyebrows, and on those deep smile lines to give your face a fresh look. Some may be more suitable for fine wrinkles, but your cosmetic doctor might try a different type of injectable for deep wrinkles on older skin.
