Short answer: what injectables are
Injectables are wrinkle relaxers and dermal fillers. Wrinkle relaxers are a purified protein placed into facial muscles. Dermal fillers are gels placed under the skin. Both are medical products, given by licensed providers where state law allows, and state rules set who may inject. A licensed provider asks about your health and medicines first, then decides what is suitable. This site does not inject anyone. It passes your request to a provider in or near Savannah.
How a provider thinks about product and amount
Choosing an injectable takes more than picking a product from a list. A licensed provider looks at the area you want to discuss, how your face moves, your skin, your health and your medicines. With dermal fillers, they also consider which gel and which technique, such as needle or cannula. With wrinkle relaxers, they think about which muscles and how much.
Ask them to talk you through it. You can also ask what they would not do and why. Injectables are given by licensed providers where state law allows, and who may inject is set by Georgia rules.
Three things a provider will want to know
Before an injectables consultation, be ready to tell the provider three things.
What you want to ask about. Point to the area, describe it, and say how long you have noticed it.
Your health. Conditions, allergies, medicines, supplements, and whether you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Your history. Any injectables before, where and when, and how you found them.
Write these down so you do not miss anything. Injectables are given by licensed providers where state law allows, and the provider decides what is suitable.
Questions about injectables
What side effects are possible?
Bruising, swelling and tenderness where the injection was given are commonly discussed, and less common complications exist too. Ask the provider to explain the side effects for the specific product, how they would handle a complication, and who to contact afterward. For anything that worries you, see a doctor.
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.
What should I ask an injector?
Ask about their license, training and how often they inject; which product they suggest and why; possible side effects; how they handle complications; and aftercare. The questions to ask page has a longer list you can print or copy.
Ask your questions first. A local provider can contact you by phone, text or email.
