Before wrinkles gradually begin to reappear, high-quality injectable products can maintain their effects for up to 6-8 months. Repeated use tends to prolong the duration of results. While efficacy may moderately increase after several injections, it generally does not exceed one year.
Misconception 1: A single injection can last two years or even longer.
Before wrinkles gradually begin to reappear, the effects of high-quality injectable products can last up to 6-8 months.
With repeated use, the effects tend to last longer. After several injections, the effects may increase slightly, but generally do not exceed one year.
Misconception 2: Applying high-end skincare products to the skin can effectively remove wrinkles, making injectable wrinkle treatments unnecessary.
With age, collagen and moisture content in the skin gradually diminish, while subcutaneous fat atrophies and sags. This leads to skin laxity and aging, creating depressions on the skin's surface that form wrinkles.
Wrinkles result from cumulative sun damage and the inevitable weakening of the skin's natural support structures—completely distinct from superficial fine lines caused by dryness.
The latter can be alleviated with moisturizers, but no skincare product—regardless of its ingredients or claims—can replace the expertise of a plastic surgeon.
Misconception 3: Wrinkle injections create dependency, requiring continuous treatments to avoid severe rebound effects that worsen wrinkles.
Correct Understanding:
1. This does not occur.
2. Taking Botox® as an example: It relaxes facial muscles responsible for expression lines. Wrinkles gradually reappear over 8-10 months, but this does not cause new wrinkles to form. Muscle function remains unaffected during treatment, and wrinkles gradually return to pre-treatment levels.
3. Repeated treatments often yield longer-lasting results.
Misconception 4: Injection treatments produce unnatural results, causing facial stiffness and loss of expressive movements like frowning or smiling.
Correct Understanding:
High-quality injectables precisely target specific muscles without affecting others. Therefore, untreated facial muscles retain full mobility and expressiveness.
Misconception 5: Injectable fillers are colored liquids that cause uneven skin tone or melanin deposition post-treatment.
Correct Understanding:
Injectable wrinkle treatments have successfully treated individuals of diverse genders, ethnicities, and skin types. Since they act solely on subcutaneous muscles, there is no need to worry about affecting your skin color or structure.
Misconception 6: Injectable wrinkle treatments are unsafe.
Correct Understanding:
1. The injectable wrinkle-reducing material is a naturally purified protein that relaxes the muscles causing wrinkles, thereby rejuvenating appearance.
2. Long-term clinical data and experience (1966-2003) show that Botox®, the world's top-prescribed facial medical aesthetic product, demonstrates excellent safety across various treatment applications.
3. Botox® is approved for use in 85 countries and regions.
4. Botox® is currently the first product in its class approved by China's National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) for medical aesthetic use.
5. Consumers are advised to seek treatment at public or private hospitals with medical aesthetic credentials and verify the anti-counterfeiting label on products to protect their rights.
