Wrinkles have always been the arch-enemy of women. As we age, skin loses moisture and collagen, making it impossible to prevent wrinkles no matter how many skincare products are used. Injectable wrinkle removal procedures, however, offer low risk, minimal discomfort, and quick recovery, making them a favorite among urban professionals and one of the most popular wrinkle-reduction methods. So, what exactly does the injectable wrinkle removal process entail?
Injection wrinkle removal involves injecting fillers into the face to repair wrinkles and achieve a smoothing effect. Commonly used materials include Ivorylane, hyaluronic acid, collagen, autologous fat, and Botox. While the process varies slightly depending on the material, it generally follows these five steps:
1. Marking the injection sites
First, mark the corresponding fat locations based on the wrinkle patterns to determine the injection areas.
2. Pre-procedure disinfection
Thoroughly disinfect the area with iodine and alcohol. Patients are generally advised not to wear makeup before the procedure; if makeup is present, it must be completely removed first.
4. Inject the filler
The doctor uses a specialized syringe to inject the filler into the marked areas, gently massaging as they inject to ensure even distribution.
5. Clean and ice the area
No recovery period is needed for wrinkle-reducing injections. After the procedure, simply wash off any facial markings and apply ice to alleviate any mild, temporary discomfort.
