Injectables V's Facials.
Should it be either or?
Can it be both?

In a world of quick fixes and instant gratification isn't it just nice to climb aboard your therapists treatment bed and let them do all the work?
Lets take a deep dive into the benefits of both:
Hands-on facials offer a personalized and deeply relaxing experience, utilizing manual techniques like massage to improve skin health and reduce stress. These facials are more than just a superficial cleanse; they involve skilled manipulation of the skin and facial muscles to achieve specific results, including improved circulation, lymphatic drainage, and muscle relaxation along with sculpting and lifting the muscles.
- Purpose: Improve overall skin health, hydration, and circulation.
- Benefits: Clearer skin, reduced puffiness, improved texture, and a more radiant complexion.
- Duration: Typically 60-90 minutes.
- Results: Improved skin health and appearance, with cumulative benefits over time.
- Risks: Minimal, with potential for redness or temporary breakouts.
Injectables:
- Purpose:
- Target specific aesthetic concerns like wrinkles, volume loss, and facial contours.
- Types:
- Botox (for muscle paralysis and wrinkle reduction), fillers (for adding volume and smoothing lines).
- Benefits:
- Immediate and dramatic results, with targeted wrinkle reduction and volume augmentation.
- Duration:
- Results can last from a few months to a year, depending on the specific product and area treated.
- Risks:
- Potential for side effects like swelling, bruising, or allergic reactions, and may require maintenance injections.
But can we have both?
Well the simple answer is YES so long as you wait ideally 2 weeks after an injectable then you should be fine to resume your hands on routine.
facials and skincare can address other aspects of skin health and potentially help maintain the results of injectables.
Remember they are working in tandem with each other
Facials
- are great for overall skin health and rejuvenation, with cumulative benefits over time.
Injectables
- are ideal for targeted wrinkle reduction, volume restoration, and enhancing specific facial features, with immediate and potentially longer-lasting results.
