At Intuitive Spa in Flushing, New York, we specialize in helping you achieve a refreshed, youthful appearance with expertly administered injectables. Whether you want to smooth fine lines, enhance your lips, or lift and contour your face, our experienced team is here to guide you. If you’ve been considering injectables but aren’t sure where to start, this Q&A will answer your most common questions and help you feel confident in your decision.
What are injectables, and what do they do?
Injectables are non-surgical cosmetic treatments designed to enhance natural beauty by reducing wrinkles, restoring volume, and improving facial contours. We offer four types of injectables at our office:
- Daxxify: A long-lasting neuromodulator that relaxes facial muscles to smooth dynamic wrinkles, such as crow’s feet and forehead lines, with results that may last up to 4-6 months or longer.
- Lip Fillers: Hyaluronic acid-based fillers that add volume, shape, and definition to your lips for a fuller, more balanced look.
- Thread Face Lift: This minimally invasive procedure uses dissolvable sutures to tighten and lift sagging skin while promoting the creation of collagen for long-lasting effects.
- Balancing Fillers: Dermal fillers designed to restore volume loss, contour facial features, and create facial symmetry for a harmonious, youthful look.
How do I know which injectable is right for me?
Choosing the right injectable depends on your aesthetic goals. If you want to reduce wrinkles and fine lines, Daxxify is an excellent option. For those looking to enhance lip volume, lip fillers provide natural-looking results. If sagging skin is a concern, a thread facelift can give a subtle yet effective lift. And if you’re looking to restore lost volume and achieve balanced facial proportions, balancing fillers can help. Our specialists will assess your facial structure during your consultation and recommend a customized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Are injectables safe, and do they require downtime?
Yes, injectables are FDA-approved and considered safe when performed by trained professionals. Our team prioritizes safety and precision to ensure beautiful, natural results. Most injectable treatments have minimal downtime, allowing you to return to your daily activities immediately. Mild bruising or swelling may occur in certain patients, but these side effects usually go away in a few days.
How long do results last?
The longevity of injectables depends on the type of treatment you receive:
- Daxxify results typically last 4- 6 months on average before a touch-up is needed.
- Lip fillers can last 6 to 12 months, depending on the product used.
- Thread facelifts provide results for 12 to 18 months as collagen production improves skin firmness.
- Balancing fillers can last anywhere from one month to a year, depending on the area treated and the type of filler used.
When will I see the results?
Results vary depending on the treatment. Daxxify typically starts showing noticeable improvements within one to two days, with full results appearing in about seven to fourteen days. Dermal fillers provide immediate results with continued enhancement over the following weeks. Thread face lifts show an instant lift, with further collagen-boosting effects developing over time.
