What injectables cover

Injectables at a med spa usually fall into two groups. Wrinkle relaxers are a purified protein injected in small amounts into specific facial muscles. Dermal fillers are gels, many based on hyaluronic acid, placed under the skin in chosen areas.

Both are given by licensed providers where state law allows. Who may inject is set by state rules, so in California the provider might be a physician, nurse practitioner, physician assistant or registered nurse, depending on those rules and any supervision they require.

A consultation comes first. The provider asks about your health and what you want to discuss, and decides what is suitable.

Questions to ask about injectables

Write these down and bring them:

  1. What product are you suggesting, and why this one?
  2. Is it a wrinkle relaxer or a dermal filler?
  3. What is your license, and how often do you inject?
  4. Do any of my medicines or conditions matter here?
  5. What side effects are possible, such as bruising or swelling?
  6. What would you do if a complication happened?
  7. How long do people usually wait between visits?
  8. Can a filler be dissolved if needed?

Injectables are given by licensed providers where state law allows, and a careful provider welcomes questions.

A short list to bring

For an injectables consultation, bring:

  1. photo ID
  2. your medicine and supplement list
  3. names of any past injectables, and dates
  4. a note of any reactions or allergies
  5. your questions, written down

Some people also bring a photo from a few years ago if they want to describe something that has changed. Ask the office whether to arrive without makeup. Do not stop any prescribed medicine to prepare unless the person who prescribed it agrees.

Questions about injectables

What is the difference between wrinkle relaxers and dermal fillers?

Wrinkle relaxers are a purified protein injected into specific muscles, and they act on muscle movement. Dermal fillers are gels placed under the skin in chosen areas. They are different products with different techniques. A licensed provider can explain both and decide what, if anything, is suitable for you.

Will I be treated at the consultation?

Sometimes. Some providers can treat at the same visit if you both agree, and others prefer a separate appointment. Sending a request on this site does not book or commit you to anything. You can always take time to think after hearing the provider's view.

How do I know which product a provider is using?

Ask. A provider can tell you the product type, whether it is a wrinkle relaxer or a dermal filler, and why they suggest it. You can also ask for the product name and amount to be noted in your records, which helps if you see a different provider later.
