Your Ultimate Guide to Injectables: Botox, Dermal Fillers, Sculptra, and More
Curious about injectables but feeling a little intimidated? You’re not alone. At Chronos Body Health & Wellness, we know there’s a lot of chatter about Botox, dermal fillers, Sculptra, and other treatments, and it can be hard to separate the hype from what actually works.
Here’s your friendly, no-nonsense guide to injectables, answering the questions our clients ask most.
1. What Exactly Are Injectables?
Injectables are non-surgical treatments that smooth wrinkles, restore volume, and enhance your natural features. The most common types include:
- Botox/Dysport/Xeomin: Relax the muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles (frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead creases).
- Dermal Fillers: Restore volume and shape, smooth deep lines, or plump lips. Popular options include Restylane, Juvederm, and Radiesse.
- Sculptra: Stimulates your body’s natural collagen production over time to restore volume and improve skin quality gradually. Unlike traditional fillers, results appear subtly and last longer, often up to 2 years!
- PDO Threads: Non-surgical “facelifts” using dissolvable threads to lift sagging skin, improve contour, and trigger collagen production for firmer, more youthful skin.
All of these treatments have minimal downtime and can be combined for a customized, natural-looking transformation.
2. How Do I Know Which Treatment Is Right for Me?
It depends on your goals:
- Dynamic Wrinkles (movement-related): Botox or Dysport
- Volume Loss & Facial Contouring: Dermal fillers or Sculptra
- Gradual Collagen Boost & Long-Term Rejuvenation: Sculptra
- Sagging Skin & Lift: PDO threads or Dermal Filler
- Under-Eye Hollows: Hyaluronic acid fillers like Restylane
- Lips: Lip fillers for shape, symmetry, or plumpness
At Chronos, every treatment plan is personalized. We analyze your facial structure, lifestyle, and goals to make sure the results are natural, not overdone.
3. Do Injectables Hurt?
Truthfully? A tiny pinch is all you’ll feel. Most injectables come with numbing options or are formulated with lidocaine to make the process comfortable. Think of it as a quick, low-pain beauty boost, sometimes faster than your morning coffee run!
4. How Long Do Results Last?
- Botox/Dysport: 3–4 months
- Dermal Fillers: 6 months to 2 years, depending on the product and treatment area
- Sculptra: Gradual results over several months, lasting up to 2 years
- PDO Threads: Immediate lift with collagen-building results over 3–6 months, lasting 12–18 months
A tailored maintenance plan keeps you looking fresh year-round.
5. Are These Treatments Safe?
Yes! Safety is top priority at Chronos. Side effects are usually mild: slight bruising, swelling, or redness. When performed by trained medical professionals, injectables are very safe and highly effective.
6. Can I Combine Treatments?
Absolutely. Many clients mix Botox, fillers, Sculptra, and PDO threads for a full facial refresh, targeting wrinkles, sagging, and volume loss all at once. Our team at Chronos loves creating custom combinations that enhance your features naturally.
7. How Do I Get Started?
