Types of Injectables
Cosmetic injections come in two primary forms: wrinkle relaxers and dermal fillers. While wrinkle relaxers ease the muscles of the face to reduce expression lines, dermal fillers are used to add volume to areas of the face and body. At BioWell Therapeutics, we offer BOTOX® to reduce the expression lines that appear as you laugh, smile, or make other faces. If you have wrinkles that are present, even while your face is at rest, these can be addressed with a dermal filler. Fillers can also enhance the volume in your cheeks, under the eyes, lips, hands, and more, depending on your needs and goals.

What to Expect After Cosmetic Injections
Most people experience temporary redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site after treatment. This is normal and should resolve within a few days. Depending on the type of injection used, some people see results almost immediately, while others need to wait to experience the full effects. BioWell Therapeutics can provide detailed information about potential side effects at the time of your consultation. Patients may return to their normal activities right away but should avoid strenuous exercise and direct sun exposure for a short period. Follow-up appointments are recommended to ensure the best possible outcomes for cosmetic injections.
