How Do Injectables Work?

Now that we know what injectables and fillers are, let’s breakdown how they work. Firstly, every type of injectable have their own benefits, but the way they’re administered is the same for all of them.

During your appointment, your physician will inject a substance right below the surface of the skin on the area(s) you’re trying to target. Depending on the injectable or filler, results can last anywhere between weeks to months at a time. This is dependent on the type of treatment used, the location on your skin and the amount of substance used during your treatment. As soon as the procedure is over, clients are happy to see how immediate the results are.

Are Injectables Safe To Use?

Thankfully, when it comes to fillers and injectables in Toronto, you have nothing to worry about.

When it comes to actual risks involved, fillers and injectables have some of the lowest in the cosmetic industry. After your treatment, it’s very common to experience some level of swelling, tenderness and bruising, but that typically goes away within 24 hours. Some of the more serious complications include infection, hyperpigmentation and skin discolouration.
