Quick Fix Injectables: Getting Ready for the Holiday Season

The end of the year is finally here! Now’s the time to pull on your party shoes and shake your tailfeathers. Or not. You might just want to kick back and relax with your nearest and dearest. Either way, the holiday season is a social one, and you’ll want to look and feel good, regardless of how you spend your break. The thing is, if you’ve had a wild year filled with unprecedented stress, it takes a toll on your face. All you’d have to do is sit in an endless Zoom meeting in unflattering lighting to suddenly notice how lines have turned into wrinkles. Or how a once plump face has become a little gaunt.

Happily, if you’re feeling like you need a little refresh, there are lots of no-downtime, “quick fix” injectable treatments that can help you get your glow back!

Wrinkles Be Gone!

We’ll all get wrinkles but don’t have to live with them. If you’ve lines on your face that are caused by a repetitive muscle movement – frown lines and crow’s feet – you’ll be a great candidate for wrinkle-relaxing injections. These quick-fix injectables will relax the muscles that are responsible for the movement, causing the wrinkle to dramatically soften, if not disappear!

What’s great about wrinkle-relaxing injections is that they work fast. The treatment itself can be done in less than five minutes. You can then go back to work with nobody ever being the wiser that you’d had it. Then, over a few days, you’ll see the effects as the targeted muscle gets weaker and weaker. Eventually, after about ten days, it’ll be at its peak effect and you’ll feel like a new, refreshed-looking version of you. Aside from looking great for the holidays, you’ll get to enjoy your new, smoother look for around three to four months, maybe even a bit longer.

Volume in a Flash

Another type of artfully placed injectable that can help you freshen up quickly is dermal filler. These gel-like liquids are injected just beneath the surface of your skin to restore or increase volume. The most popular kind contains hyaluronic acid, a mega-moisturising cushiony gel-like substance that occurs naturally in your skin.

As we age, our natural hyaluronic acid supply starts to diminish. This results in a loss of volume and an increase in wrinkling. However, if we replace it using dermal fillers, you can plump up your skin within minutes. Think more pronounced cheeks, fuller-looking lips and a softening of lines around the mouth. In fact, adding a little volume to the upper half of your face can create a little lift in the lower half. It’s a great way to soften nasolabial lines – those folds that run from the sides of your nose down towards your chin.

Unlike wrinkle-relaxing injections, the results you’ll get from dermal fillers are instant. The moment you walk out of your aesthetic doctor’s office, you’ll look and feel like the very best version of you! Better yet, depending on the type of dermal filler used, the results can last for up to a year.

The bottom line about quick-fix injectables

If you could use a little facial refreshment but want quick results just in time for the holidays, injectable treatments like wrinkle-relaxing injections and dermal fillers are the way to go. They take mere minutes to administer yet can deliver dramatic results. So, what are you waiting for? Make an appointment today to finish the year looking great and head into the new one filled with confidence.
