As medspas across the country have reopened this summer, they are reporting an unprecedented demand for injectables treatments, booking months in advance and extending their hours to accommodate the pent-up needs of their clients. While this comes as no surprise, considering the months that people were unable to partake in their favorite aesthetic treatments, it’s worth noting this trend for our special corner of the world because we are in the same boat.
So, have you booked your Botox® and dermal fillers session yet? Here’s what you need to do to ensure success:
1. Schedule a virtual consultation.
Please email us at hello@3.145.127.199 or send us a quick message on our virtual chat feature, Podium, and we’ll get back to you to schedule a virtual consultation. During your virtual consult, we’ll carefully review your facial features and aesthetic goals to determine your unique injectables regimen. For example, if you are bothered by forehead lines and nothing else, you may only need Botox. If you want to smooth forehead wrinkles and crow’s feet and restore volume in your mouth area to erase slight sagging and plump your pout, you may love a combination approach with Botox and dermal fillers.
2. Be strategic when scheduling.
Once we’ve determined your ideal treatment, you’ll need to pick a time that works best for you once we are open. To ensure your best results, you’ll want to seek a treatment time when you are not busy and you can return home and lay low for a few days. While injectables are a minimal- to no-downtime treatment, there is always a risk of swelling, pinpoint bleeding and bruising. Slight swelling is common, so you’ll benefit from a few days of flying under the radar while your injectables settle in and any swelling or bruising subsides.
3. Ensure optimal results with results-driven after-care
First, do no harm. This means keeping your hands off your treatment areas, which can exacerbate swelling and cause more irritation. To speed healing and boost your results, we highly recommend applying Alastin® INhance Post-Injection Serum with TriHex Technology®. This serum is formulated specifically for injectables treatments and clinically proven to help reduce and heal side effects. We also recommend incorporating retinol into your daily skin care regimen. Retinol is a vitamin A derivative that helps strengthen your skin from the inside out, lending a stronger, youthful support structure for your injectables.
Our goal at Belle Marin Aesthetic Medicine is to provide you with your best results and help you enjoy them for as long as possible. If you’d like to learn more about maximizing your next injectables treatment, please don’t hesitate to email us at hello@3.145.127.199 or send us a quick message on our virtual chat feature, Podium, today!
