INJECTABLES WITH DR JOHANNES
Individuals in Abu Dhabi seeking to rejuvenate their skin without surgical intervention often turn to **injectables** like Botox. Dr. JOHANNES personally administers all treatments, ensuring that they enhance the natural contours of the face. The most effective results are typically seen with static lines—those that remain visible even when the face is at rest—rather than dynamic lines caused by muscle movement during expressions like smiling.
ACHIEVEMENTS POSSIBLE WITH INJECTABLES
Volume Restoration: The strategic injection of dermal fillers can restore fat loss in areas like the cheeks, chin, and lips, enhancing facial volume and creating a vibrant look.
Smoother Skin: Injectables can effectively reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by plumping them or relaxing the underlying muscles, resulting in smoother skin for those with good elasticity.
Correction of Temporal Hollowing: Fillers can also address hollowing at the temples, which can give a skeletal appearance, by restoring fullness and achieving a naturally youthful look.
Wrinkle Prevention: Regular use of injectables can help prevent the formation of new wrinkles.
Fillers play a crucial role in restoring facial volume, which can diminish with age as fat loss occurs. By replenishing this lost volume, fillers help create a more youthful appearance, particularly in patients experiencing significant volume atrophy. Dr. JOHANNES advocates for using smaller amounts of product more frequently to achieve optimal results, as larger doses can lead to more noticeable changes that may not appear natural.
TYPES OF INJECTABLES
Dermal Fillers:
​
- Used for facial volume restoration and smoothing static lines.
- Common ingredients include hyaluronic acid (found in products like Restylane and JUVÉDERM) and calcium hydroxylapatite (Radiesse).
-BOTOX® Cosmetic:
​
- Targets dynamic lines caused by muscle activity.
- Works by softening muscle contractions to prevent wrinkle formation.
EXPERT CARE AND RECOVERY
Patients may experience mild redness, swelling, or bruising post-treatment; these effects are temporary and typically resolve within 24 hours. Most individuals can return to their daily activities immediately after receiving injectables, though avoiding direct sunlight is advised for optimal recovery.
Dr. JOHANNES emphasises a personalised approach to each treatment, ensuring that every detail is tailored to the individual’s needs for safety and effectiveness. With a commitment to high standards and patient care, he aims to provide exceptional results through minimally invasive techniques.
Scars from injectable treatments are generally minimal, as a fine needle is employed to inject the filler solution along natural folds of the skin. While scarring is uncommon, some irritation may occur at the injection sites for several hours following the procedure.
PAIN MANAGEMENT
Injectables are typically not associated with significant pain. To enhance comfort, a topical anesthetic gel is applied before treatment. Additionally, some fillers may contain lidocaine or can be mixed with it to further alleviate discomfort.
CANDIDATE SUITABILITY
Injectables are intended for women experiencing wrinkles and volume loss who possess good skin elasticity. They can effectively address various concerns, including:
- Facial hollows
- Folds around the mouth
- Double chin
- Frown lines between the brows
- Forehead lines
- Fine lines around the eyes
- Thin lips
- Lip lines
DURATION OF RESULTS
The longevity of results from injectable treatments varies based on the type of product used and its placement. Dr. JOHANNES advocates for more subtle, routine filler applications to maintain a natural appearance rather than opting for significant enhancements infrequently. A detailed discussion about filler options will take place during your confidential consultation.
COMBINING PROCEDURES FOR ENHANCED RESULTS
For optimal facial rejuvenation, some patients may benefit from combining injectable treatments with surgical options, such as:
- Facelift and neck lift for addressing skin laxity in the lower face and neck
- Brow lift to correct forehead sagging
- Eyelid surgery to refresh tired eyelids
- Skin resurfacing to enhance skin quality
