Things You Can Expect From a Good Aesthetic Injector

Cosmetic injections or injectable treatments are medical procedures designed to smooth lines, fill hollows and augment body parts such as the lips and cheeks. Dermal fillers are used to plump and shape the face and include collagen, hyaluronic acid and calcium hydroxylapatite.

Injectable treatments are the fastest-growing segment of the aesthetic industry. Dermal fillers are becoming increasingly desirable as the population ages. They are seen as an effective and permanent way to restore volume and shape to the face and provide a welcome antidote to the physical effects of time.

They are also safer and more cost-effective than surgical procedures such as facelifts and rhinoplasty, which are more invasive, can result in scarring and have potentially serious complications.

But of course, these treatments can only be as good as those applying them. More than anything, it’s essential to look for a reliable and skilled injector. Today, we will take a closer look at what you should expect from an excellent aesthetic injector.

 

Here’s what you need to know:

Crafts a Personalised Treatment Plan For You

The best aesthetic injectors will listen closely to your concerns and medical history and create a personalised treatment plan based on your needs. They will discuss each option’s potential risks and benefits and develop a strategy that is tailored to your particular needs.

Talking about the different treatments is an essential aspect of your consultation – so you know what to expect, what the possible results are, and how much it will cost.

A good injector will also discuss other ways to maintain a youthful appearance, such as diet, regular exercise and proper skincare.

 

Informs and Advises You of the Risks

Most aesthetic treatments are entirely safe, but some risks are associated with any procedure. Your injector will explain any potential side effects during your consultation, such as swelling, bruising, pain, infection, or discolouration.

They will also give you complete information on pricing, including any additional fees for consultations, medical tests and follow-up appointments.

 

Offers Top Quality Products and Equipment

An excellent aesthetic injector will use only the best and most effective products. Dermal fillers and other injectables are made from biocompatible substances and are safe by adequately trained injectors.

The injector’s office should also have a range of state-of-the-art equipment for injection treatments and top-quality products for skincare.

 

Provides Accurate Information (Limitations, Expectations, and So On)

An excellent aesthetic injector should provide you with all the information you need to decide on your treatment. They should discuss the limitations of different procedures and the likely results and inform you of any additional risks.

This will allow you to decide whether the treatment is proper for you. Above all, you should be comfortable enough with your injector to ask any questions that you may have.

 

Follows Safety Precautions

All aesthetic procedures are legal in Australia, but a number of precautions must be taken to ensure your safety. Your injector should use sterile needles and other sterilised equipment and wear gloves and a mask during the treatment.

The procedure should also be performed in a sterile and clean environment, and your injector should follow strict infection control guidelines. They should also ask about and treat any existing medical conditions that could interfere with the treatment.

 

The Bottom Line

Aesthetic treatments can be an effective way to maintain a youthful appearance. Finding the right aesthetic injector is the first step to enjoying the benefits of these treatments.

You should look for a injector who creates a personalised treatment plan for you, explains the risks and benefits of treatment, and uses high-quality products and equipment. Finally, the injector should follow strict safety procedures in a clean and sterile environment.

Marionette Lines • What Are They and 9 Ways to Treat Them

As we age, our bone and fat mass diminish. Simultaneously, our collagen and elastin production slows, vital for skin health. In the long run, we lose the ability to keep our skin in shape.

When we think of wrinkles, we often focus on the upper half of our faces. However, our faces don’t merely grow creases on the top. Genetics, age, environmental conditions, lifestyle, diet, and even stress can develop facial wrinkles. We can also receive marionette lines that include nasolabial folds, vertical lip lines, or jaw and chin wrinkles.

How can you treat these unsightly facial wrinkles? Here are nine ways to effectively treat marionette lines:

 

Eat Healthily

You can literally prevent marionette lines by paying more attention to your diet. Eating a balanced diet could help you maintain healthy collagen and elastin levels, reduce inflammation, and keep the wrinkle-causing enzymes at bay.

Foods to eat include berries, leafy greens, apples, mushrooms, seeds, almonds, and eggs. You need to also avoid or lessen your intake of meat, processed foods, sweets, starch, and fried and greasy foods.

To get a healthy dose of omega-3s, be sure to eat fish or take fish oil supplements.

 

Drink Enough Water

Drinking plenty of water helps you keep your skin looking youthful. On the other hand, dehydration causes wrinkles and sagging because muscles tighten and joints stiffen.

Drinking enough water keeps joints mobile, skin hydrated, and blood flowing. Make it a healthy habit to drink ten 8-ounce glasses of water per day to keep your skin looking young and smooth.

Avoid drinking water directly from the fridge or ice. Coldwater causes blood arteries to contract, which is bad for your heart.

 

Get Good Sleep

It’s vital to get proper sleep because research shows that sleep-deprived skin seems to hang onto wrinkles longer. While you sleep, the body can heal itself, including your skin. It repairs many of the body’s daily wear and tear, including the visible signs of aging.

 

Exercise Regularly

Physical activity has been demonstrated to alleviate stress, which results in reduced inflammation. It also means you’re creating a healthier lifestyle and better habits.

 

Practice a Skin Care Regimen

Antioxidants like vitamin C and retinol should be used morning and night to improve skin texture and prevent wrinkles. Both have been shown to boost collagen production and minimise wrinkles.

Sunscreen and vitamin C work together to neutralize free radicals caused by UV exposure. Hyaluronic acid moisturizes and hydrates the skin, while retinol is the anti-aging gold standard, making the skin’s texture improve cell turnover.

 

Laser Treatments

Laser treatments have become increasingly popular for wrinkle removal. However, laser treatments should be done in a doctor’s office and are not recommended at home.

There are different types of lasers for various skin concerns and goals. The deeper the laser penetrates, the more effective it can remove wrinkles. Different treatments can be used for different skin types and concerns.

 

Microneedling

Microneedling involves using a derma roller to create tiny pinpricks in the skin. The tiny wounds left in the skin can then be filled with a topical serum, collagen, or other treatments for firming and plumping.

It is considered a safe procedure because the tiny wounds heal quickly with minimal scarring, and it doesn’t require downtime.

 

Wrinkle Relaxers

Wrinkle relaxers are non-surgical solutions for marionette lines. They work by relaxing the skin’s muscular fibres, making deep facial creases vanish.

These injections are not permanent, so you’ll need to have fillers or retinoids regularly to keep your skin smooth and youthful.

 

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are another non-surgical option for mouth and chin marionette lines. These dermal fillers are the quickest, most efficient, and least expensive approach to perk up the skin around the mouth.

 

Conclusion

Marionette lines are an inevitable sign of aging. However, they don’t have to be the norm. You can treat them and prevent them by following the steps laid out above.

Moreover, there are many other ways to treat marionette lines. There is no one-size-fits-all solution for marionette lines because everyone is different. The best treatment is the one that provides the most natural-looking results.

Are Microtreatments The Best Beauty Procedures?

Microtreatments might sound like a new concept, but thousands of women over the world claim they create better results than any other option on the market today.

Microtreatments make up a good portion of what we offer at SKYN® and do not involve any surgery, and you can be in and out of the clinic in a matter of minutes or hours. Injections will be involved for the best outcomes, but that’s much better than going under the knife to achieve your aesthetic goals.

If you’re still not convinced about microtreatments, here are some examples of the type of concerns they can address and the benefits.

 

Improving crow’s feet and frown lines

Crow’s feet and frown lines can make people appear much older than they actually are. So, it makes sense that you will want to smooth them out as soon as they appear on your face (or before they do). While there are many moisturisers available on the market that claim to produce those results, few of them cut it in terms of real results.

There are also surgical options, but there is no need to spend that much money or put your body through such an invasive experience. Microtreatments are the perfect solution and can usually be administered in your lunch break with little downtime.

We encourage clients to book a consultation appointment with our Talent first, so you get all the information you require about the best ways to kick those tired eyes to the curb.

Wrinkle Relaxers / from $4 per unit

 

Smoothing and tightening the skin

When the skin on your face and neck becomes flabby and loose, you will begin to look old before your time. Again, there are lots of surgical solutions available, however, most experts agree there is no need to opt for something like that now we have microtreatments on the scene. Our Talent will take a look at your concerns and then offer advice on the best microtreatments to address them.

That will often involve the use of cutting-edge creams and moisturisers, and you might also benefit from cosmetic injectables like wrinkle relaxers or skin treatments like laser resurfacing.

Treatments like laser resurfacing can effectively combat the early signs of skin sagging and laxity.

Chemical peels / from $110 each
Wrinkle Relaxers / from $4 per unit
Laser Resurfacing / $550 per session

 

Creating the illusion of high cheekbones

Cheek enhancement services can help you to create the illusion of high cheekbones with dermal fillers. While it’s a temporary solution lasting 9 – 18 months before a top is due, you’re guaranteed to become the envy of your friends.

If you want to assess the results for yourself; book a consultation to see if the treatment could benefit you. Some people spend thousands of dollars with plastic surgeons to get those desirable cheeks, but there are much more affordable options with the correct combination of microtreatments.

Dermal Fillers / from $650

 

Microtreatments packages and pricing 

We have packaged some of our most popular microtreatments at very affordable prices. To achieve the perfect result our Talent analyse the entire face and consider your facial proportions ensuring a natural result. Each service is completely customised.

The best aesthetic treatments for all ages from your 20s to 60s

What you can do to keep looking your best, regardless of your age.

In your 20’s

This is the time to start a skincare regimen with effective results. Look for products that contain high antioxidants, peptides, retinol, and use them with a daily sunscreen of at least SPF 30 to prevent further sun damage.

Gentle laser treatments, like Clear + Brilliant, are great for young skin.

Lasers can address pigmentation and increase skin porosity, so you get the most from your products.

Collagen-boosting treatments like microneedling will also make a long term difference making the skin healthier and more resilient and looking extra plump and glowy.

It’s likely that you won’t need any structural filler in your 20’s however you may want to add some volume to your lips with dermal fillers.

Clear + Brilliant / $350 per session including Healite II Tretament
SkinPen® Microneedling / $350 per session
Plump Lips / $399 1 ml Premium Dermal Filler

 

In your 30’s

The first signs of ageing will appear unexpectedly and often around the eyes, forehead, and mouth/lip area.

To maintain your look we may recommend treatments such as:

Microneedling – to improve the overall tone, minimise sunspots, and promote collagen production for healthy, bright and smooth skin.

Chemical peels – to brighten skintone, increase skin tightening and improve the overall skin tone and texture.

Wrinkle Relaxers – to treat fine lines and proactively prevent the formation of deeper lines by limiting the muscle movements that cause wrinkles.

Treatments like laser resurfacing can effectively combat the early signs of skin sagging and laxity.

SkinPen® Microneedling / $350 per session
Mesoestetic Chemical peels / from $110 each
Wrinkle Relaxers / from $180 per area
Laser Resurfacing / $350 per session

 

In your 40’s

Due to a decrease in collagen production and other natural structural elements, you may notice a loss of volume and reduced elasticity in the face.

Since cell turnover also slows down in your 40’s, your skin may also begin to lose some of its natural glow, resulting in a duller complexion.

Treatments to look for:

Wrinkle Relaxers, to reduce lines and give a smoother look.

Dermal fillers can minimise the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and counteract the visible signs of volume loss by adding contour to the face to recreate the fuller look of younger skin.

Radio Frequency to counteract the loss of skin’s natural structure and stimulates the skin’s production of collagen and elastin, and can be administered on the face and body.

While gentle lasers are still effective, more aggressive laser treatments like laser resurfacing may produce better results in your 40’s for improving the tone of skin and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Wrinkle Relaxers / from $180 per area
Dermal Fillers / from $550
INFINI Radio Frequency + Microneedling / $600 per session
Laser Resurfacing / $350 per session

 

In your 50’s

When we reach our 50’s we continue to see loss of volume in the face and skin laxity becomes more pronounced.

As the face begins to sag overall, jowls can appear with the falling of the jawline and cheeks.

Lines can start to appear around the lips and we tend to lose lip volume.

Sun exposure and smoking can speed up the development of lines so make sure you are wearing high factor sunscreen.

Treatments to consider in your 50’s:

Volumising dermal fillers, especially in the mid-face/cheek area to correct volume loss and lift the jowls.

Wrinkle Relaxers for the treatment of lines and wrinkles in the face and neck.

Collagen stimulators not only corrects wrinkles and folds but also stimulates your own collagen production to really treat the underlying causes of facial ageing. The effects are gradual and longer-lasting giving you a natural youthful appearance.

Thread lifting, a ‘non-surgical’ face and neck lift treatment using sutures such as Silhouette Soft to lift and tighten the skin by stimulating new collagen production, reducing wrinkles, tightening pores and creating volume.

Erbium resurfacing lasers: These more aggressive lasers can combat the increasing signs of sun damage and improve overall skin texture.

Radio Frequency, a non-invasive procedure to tighten and lift the skin on the face and neck, making it a good alternative to a traditional facelift. It relies on Radio Frquency to deliver its collagen-boosting treatment resulting in tighter, smoother and more lifted skin.

Wrinkle Relaxers / from $180 per area
Dermal Fillers / from $550
Collagen stimulators / from $800
Sillhouette Soft Thread Lift / from $1,200
INFINI Radio Frequency + Microneedling / $600 per session
Laser Resurfacing / $350 per session

 

In your 60’s

Some women select surgical options (blepharoplasty, facelift, necklift) to address age-related concerns and bring more youthful contours back to the face, but you can also restore volume to your face with a variety of nonsurgical treatments.

Wrinkle Relaxers. The aim is to soften the lines helping look fresher and rested. Anti-wrinkle injections can be also used to treat upper lip lines and to prevent the mouth corners from downturning.

Dermal fillers to replace the volume that has been lost. Volume loss causes marionette lines to form, the cheeks to flatten and for you to develop nasolabialfolds.

We aim to correct this volume loss and revert the shape of the face towards the inverted triangle that was present in your younger years.

Collagen stimulators to stimulate the formation of your own collagen for subtle, but noticeable results. They are injected deep in the dermal layer to reinforce your skin’s structure and to restore fullness and face contours.

The Silhouette Soft Thread lift (non-surgical facelift) is a minimally invasive treatment to redefine facial contours and combat sagging skin with immediate results.

If you aren’t a candidate for a facelift, you can still undergo a facial rejuvenation procedure using a skin resurfacing treatment that can smooth out lines and wrinkles, and also improve the texture and tone of your skin.

Wrinkle Relaxers / from $180 per area
Dermal Fillers / from $550
Collagen stimulators / from $800
Silhouette Soft Thread Lift / from $1,200
Laser Resurfacing / $350 per session

Is injectable skincare the future of cosmetics? Rise of skin boosters explained

As consumers become more savvy with their shopping and competition among cosmetics giants rages, many are looking out for the next big thing when it comes to their complexions.

While injectables such as wrinkle relaxers and dermal fillers are increasingly commonplace, the likes of skin boosters remain shrouded in mystery for the most part.

The concept is simple – rather than slathering on hydrating ingredients and vitamins via a cream, an aesthetician injects them for superior penetration and lasting effects.

Daily Star Online spoke to Dr Pamela Benito about the rise of injectable skincare and its myriad of benefits.

“The injections are a combination of minerals, vitamins, antioxidants and a little bit of hyaluronic acid, but the particles of the hyaluronic acid are very small,” she explained.

“It’s not a filler, it’s more to hydrate and plump the skin and can also help with pigmentation. The formula boosts collagen production, helps with fine lines and hydration – plus the vitamins give you that glow, making the skin radiant from within,” she continued.

“It’s a great option for people who aren’t ready for wrinkle relaxers and dermal fillers but are still seeking rejuvenation. It’s suitable for younger people too, because minimising pores and improving texture is something everyone is after.”

Dr Pam recommends a course of three treatments for best results, spaced between three weeks to a month apart.

Results last up to nine months and then can be maintained with a top up every nine months, rather than another course of three.

Skin boosters can be used alongside the likes of wrinkle relaxers and dermal fillers but should be carried out two weeks apart from other injectables.

The Review

I’ve always considered myself to be something of a skincare aficionado, but skin boosters were definitely a step into the unknown.

Still, the process was a speedy one, with around a dozen shallow injections spread across my forehead, cheeks and chin within 15 minutes.

I was offered numbing cream upon arrival, but opted to forego it in order to get the grips with the level of discomfort that the procedure could entail.

Fortunately, there was very little pain involved, and while no injection is particularly pleasant, these never amounted to more than the sensation of a small scratch.

This was in part was helped by Dr Pam’s technique of massaging the area just before the insertion of the needle to relax the muscles.

However, Dr Pam did explain that there can be a higher level of discomfort with shallow injections compared to the deeper ones required for wrinkle relaxers and fillers because they sit closer to nerve endings.

Skinboosters 1024x654 2

NON-INVASIVE: Skin boosters require no downtime

Nonetheless, given how non-invasive the treatment is, I was free to walk out of the clinic and do as I pleased, although was advised to avoid excessive exercise or alcohol to reduce the chances of bruising.

Having followed the advice, I suffered only one small bruise which was easily covered with concealer, and nobody would have been any the wiser I had been under the needle on the day of the procedure.

As for the results, I definitely feel I am sporting a ‘lit from within’ glow that most pale folks can only dream of.

Fair skin can often look drab, tired or washed out, so I was thrilled to find my face looking decidedly more radiant and fresh when dragging myself out of bed in the morning.

The end result is definitely a subtle one, though. If you’re looking for dramatic definition or plumpness, this isn’t going to deliver the goods.

However, if you want that ‘your face but better’ effect, skin boosters are fantastic options with results that can last up to a year.

THREAD LIFT, FILLERS or Preventative Ageing therapy. What’s best for you?

With an extensive menu of rejuvenation treatments now available, many are uncertain about the most suitable aesthetic treatment for their face. The issues facing those looking for non-surgical rejuvenation enhancement techniques are:

  1. what can be accomplished  
  2. the downtime
  3. how long the results can last

Some of our most requested face-enhancing, youth-reviving treatments are Dermal Fillers, the Thread Lift and Preventative Ageing therapy Therapy (Platelet Rich Plasma). Their benefits in terms of reducing lines and wrinkles, lifting and rejuvenating the skin have different suitabilities, depending on what the client desires.

The treatments are often use in combination or with complimentary treatments like INFINI RF + Microneedling, Laser Peels or Laser Resurfacing. 

 

Dermal Fillers

Here is a quick rundown of what each of these aesthetic frontrunners do. Dermal Fillers are so called because they are made to fill the spaces in our skin which have lost volume with age, hereby showing signs of hollowness, lines and wrinkles. Most dermal fillers used nowadays are natural fillers, owing to their high safety profile and reversibility with a simple enzyme hyaluronidase. Owing to the advancements in dermal filler technology, fillers of different key strengths have emerged, each suited to deliver distinctive outcomes.

 

Dermal Fillers have a filling and sculpting capacity and can create enviable cheeks while restoring facial volume, while Skinboosters are targeted at replenishing the collagen stores of the superficial dermis, boosting their water content, immediately improving skin complexion.

 

Thread Lift

Threadlifts have undergone several positive revolutions; previous threads used were poorly made and not absorbable.

 

Latest innovations such as Silhouette Soft Thread Lift use 100% bio-absorbable threads that stimulate the formation of a supporting collagen matrix that will anchor the lift as the threads disappear in the upcoming months.

 

Silhouette Soft Thread Lift is famed for superb lifting capacity and utilises anchoring cones cleverly sited along lengthy Poly L-lactic acid threads and is known is the “Queen of all threadlifts”. If your aim is to have the maximal lift, then Silhouette would be the one for you.

 

Platelet Rich Plasma (Preventative Ageing therapy)

 

As we age our complexion can start to look tired and dull, one of the reasons is the reduction of platelets in the blood. The Angel Preventative Ageing therapy (Platelet Rich Plasma) boosts the platelets to rejuvenate the skin, improving tone and texture. Extensive research has established a direct correlation between platelets and tissue growth.

 

Preventative Ageing therapy therapy draws on a patient’s own blood, using it to generate thicker, smoother and more supple skin in areas such as the face and neck, décolletage and hands, resulting in fewer lines and wrinkles. During the procedure, blood is taken from the patient, spun in a centrifuge to extract the platelets, before being reinjected into the treatment area. There, the activated platelets release growth factors, which facilitate cell growth, the formation of blood capillaries and, most importantly, the building of new collagen.

 

While the above treatments may have their fair share of loyal followers, we have scientifically broken them down to their pros and cons. Bearing in mind that your aesthetic goal may be different from another person, the same goes for capacity for downtime, discomfort etc. While this may serve as a guide, nothing will replace a good heart-to-heart talk with your trusted aesthetic doctor. It helps to visit a clinic that offers all treatments, so you can be assured that their recommendation will not be biased but rather be impartial.

The Lesser Known Filler That Will Completely Change Your Skin

The extremes we go to get better skin are endless. Some of us slather on pricey skin care products, others treat their skin to regular facials, and a large majority head straight to the doctor’s office for the latest and greatest treatments and procedures.

But all of that may be changing as skinboosters popularity is on the rise. 

Skinboosters™ work to improve the skin’s overall quality by boosting hydration levels deep inside the skin and increasing its smoothness, elasticity and firmness.

For years, injectables and dermal fillers have been heralded as the remedy for adding back lost volume to the face, filling in lines and wrinkles and even augmenting some facial features. The lesser-known but very exciting category of HA fillers are known as skinboosters.

Skinboosters are totally different from what you currently know fillers as in that they improve the skin texture and elasticity. Most dermal fillers address volume and not necessarily the skin.

Used in the face, hands, décolleté and neck, and injected into the top layer of skin, skinboosters work best on areas of skin that are covered in teeny, tiny lines, like the sides of the cheeks or the chin. “Injecting skin boosters causes bioremodeling of the skin, activating elastin and collagen production and improving the look of damaged or aged skin,” says New York plastic surgeon Haideh Hirmand, MD.

Visible improvements to the skin can be seen after just one treatment boosting hydration for a beautiful glow.

Injections can be done up to three times initially and then again every six months to maintain skin quality and see the most dramatic change.

While skinboosters and other cosmetic injectables perform different functions, they are commonly used together with Dermal Fillers and Wrinkle relaxers.

Skinboosters are available at SKYN® Subiaco from $350 per session or $300 per ml when two or more mls are used in the initial treatment. Love the skin you’re in™! Book a consultation with SKYN Talent today!
