By 2024, the market for facial injectables in North America is predicted to reach $5.8 billion.
More doctors, nurses, and healthcare workers are looking for CE/CME training as cosmetic treatments like Botox, dermal fillers, and fillers are becoming more and more popular.
What Substances Will I Learn About Injectables During Training?
You will have the chance to learn about and experiment with some of the most well-liked products during your Botox and dermal fillers course, including:
Skin fillers
Dermal fillers are the first class of injectable therapies you will study in training (sometimes referred to as facial fillers.) To restore lost volume to the face, fillers are employed. The following locations fillers are most frequently used:
the nasolabial folds. These extend from the corners of your lips to the outside of your nostrils.
Lines of marionettes. These creases extend from the corners of your mouth to the bottom of your chin.
Nasojugal ridge (tear troughs). Your under-eye region is shown here. Lifting drooping eyebrows and eyelids, restoring volume to the temples, and diminishing the prominence of veins on aged hands are all possible with dermal fillers. And let’s not forget lip fillers!
Both hyaluronic acid (HA) and non-HA fillers are available for use. Fillers containing hyaluronic acid are similar to sponges in that they absorb water from the skin and then release that water to plump the injected area. In contrast, non-hyaluronic acid fillers have been shown to increase collagen formation in the treated area.
Neurotoxins
Neurotoxins like Botox make up the next subset of injectables. Lines and wrinkles from overused muscles can be treated with neurotoxins, which temporarily paralyze the affected muscles. The most prevalent targets for Botox are:
To the space in between the brows. Frown lines, the two vertical lines between your eyebrows that form an “11” when your face is at rest, can be softened with Botox injections placed in that area.
Specifically, the area of the head known as the forehead. Applying Botox to the forehead might help smooth out the look of frown lines and creases.
Excessive squinting caused by crow’s feet. Botox injections into the crow’s feet might make you look younger by smoothing out the wrinkles that develop on the outside of your eyes as you age.
Smoker’s lines, platysmal bands in the neck, and fine lines in the cheekbones are all treatable with neurotoxins. Once the muscle regains strength and mobility, Botox normally stops working.
Compounds That Break Down Fat
Injectable fat-dissolving chemicals are the newest type of this type of medication. Kybella is the only injectable treatment approved by the Food and Drug Administration to reduce the appearance of submental fullness, also known as a “double chin.” Treatments are administered in a doctor’s office and typically involve three to five sessions spaced about six weeks apart.
