‘Top 3 Tips to get the most out of your Injectables’
“How you can help your Aesthetics Nurse help you achieve youthful looking skin”
You've done your research and found the right Aesthetics Practitioner for you, and you’re booked in for your first anti wrinkle injection treatment. Following your consultation you are completely aware that the injections will last around 3-4 months so you book in for your next appointment, all prepared, so you can be sure you’ll get in on time. Your work is done and you can be reassured you will retain that youthful looking glow you desire. Right? Oh if only it was that simple!
A common misconception with injectables, such as anti wrinkle treatments and dermal filler, is that they replace the need for a good skin care routine. Unfortunately, as a result of this misconception, regular consumers of these treatments are renowned for having poor skin care routines. However the two go together like, well, antiwrinkle injections and filler. Their effectiveness and longevity depend on each other. As great as these treatments are, unfortunately there is still no miracle fix. Great skin takes commitment. You’ve invested your money into these treatments, why wouldn’t you invest a little bit of time to make sure you get the most out of your hard earned money!
So what can you do? Leading dermatologists recommend that clients who practice good skin care, by moisturising daily with a good quality moisturiser, will enhance the absorption effect of injectables such as hyaluronic fillers. Helping the area treated remain wrinkle free and plumper for longer. The Aesthetics Room loves the Epiderma5 medical grade skin care range. The Daily Moisture Defence SPF45 is a firm favourite, with the added benefit of the spf included. Another key component to making those injectables last longer. As overexposure to the sun's UVs rays can actually reverse the effects of treatments. And yes… even in winter!
It's not just about what you do on the outside. What you put inside your body counts too. So stay hydrated. Drink plenty of water. Treatments such as dermal fillers and skin boosters like profhilo are hyaluphillic (in english please) meaning they attract water. As we age we lose collagen and hyaluronic acid, resulting in the skin becoming dehydrated and those dreaded fine lines and wrinkles appearing. So the injectables work by replacing the hyaluronic acid that’s lost, resulting in the skin appearing smooth and plump. The water you drink will be drawn to the area treated and effects won't just last longer but they will be more effective.
Finally, try to avoid stress. I know, easier said than done. However, research has found that chronic stress can actually accelerate aging. Not to get too scientific, but stress can break down the skins collagen and elastin due to the release of high amounts of cortisol (the stress hormone). Again, this leads to fine lines and wrinkles. On top of that, people who are stressed are more likely to frown. So, if possible try to implement stress relieving techniques such as medication or yoga into your lifestyle. Not only are these practices great for the mind and soul, but they are beneficial to the skin too.
