What Are the Differences Between Fillers and Injectables

After a consultation to understand your goals, the aesthetic nurses come up with a treatment plan to address your concerns and work on the desired effects. Unlike surgery, fillers and injectables are minimally invasive procedures that can be done in a clinic or medical facility. The process is relatively pain-free with the help of some numbing cream and an experienced aesthetic nursing team.

There are rules and regulations about who can legally administer cosmetic filler and enhancements. A physician, physician assistant, dentist, registered nurse, or another licensed healthcare practitioner is allowed to administer cosmetic fillers and enhancements. However, this does not mean they have extensive experience in the field or are passionate about the work involved. An aesthetic nurse is not a generalist who practices a broad range of healthcare procedures. They are experts in cosmetic fillers, and aesthetic enhancements are trained under some of the best leaders in their industry. Our team of aesthetic nurses regularly updates their training and knowledge base to offer the best solutions and care to our patients.

Cosmetic surgery and facelifts usually come with a significant recovery time and ongoing swelling. Fillers and injectables are both quick, relatively painless, and do not require downtime. You can return to work the same day, however, you may experience some minimal swelling and bruising. The team at Just Aesthetic Nursing recommends scheduling your fillers and injectables two weeks before an important event.

Injectables and fillers are popular because they look natural. Instead of appearing that you had a facelift or significant cosmetic surgery, our non-invasive treatments enhance your natural look. Depending on your goals, our team continues with minor updates and additional treatments to keep the natural, youthful appearance you’re looking for.

Not just anyone can administer BOTOX injections and dermal fillers like Sculptra, and they must be administered by a physician, physician’s assistant, dentist, registered nurse, or licensed healthcare practitioner. However, there is a difference between being licensed to perform the procedures and being skilled at cosmetic enhancements. Your medical team should also have years of experience understanding how aesthetic medicine works to achieve the best results possible. Our team of aesthetic nurses are trained and experienced in aesthetic medicine and have trained under the best professionals in the industry.

There are a few essential differences between injectables and fillers, starting with addressing your wrinkles and achieving results. BOTOX injections block specific chemical signals that cause your muscles to contract and cause wrinkles in the forehead, around the eyes and other areas of your face. BOTOX can also be used to reduce chronic sweating under your arms, palms, and feet.

Unlike injectables, fillers can address wrinkles that are seen at rest. Those permanent lines around your mouth or forehead can be smoothed with the help of dermal fillers. These fillers usually contain collagen, a naturally occurring substance in your body that diminishes as you age. Your aesthetic nurse may recommend either an injectable or filler or a possible combination to address problem areas and help achieve your long-term goals for your appearance.

Dermal fillers can be used to enhance your appearance and achieve a similar look as a facelift. Instead of relying on surgery to lift your hips, smooth your forehead to give the appearance of a lift or address lines around your mouth, fillers can help. However, they are not the same thing as a facelift. For example, fillers cannot lift facial muscles or address excess skin.
