Botox and Fillers

Botox and fillers is where the questions go when you are curious about injectables and not sure what to ask. Like every page here, it is written with Madera in mind and reaches Madera Acres, Fairmead and the wider county too. It holds three questions, one on fillers and two on Botox.

To put fillers in plain words, Cleveland Clinic says, "Soft tissue fillers are injectable, gel-like substances that are used to add volume and fullness to your skin."

A question about fillers

Start with the question that checks the rules, since it costs you only a few minutes of reading.

• Are dermal fillers approved by the FDA?

Plenty of free reading sits next to it. Cleveland Clinic's dermal fillers overview is a general introduction. For what happens afterward, there is RealSelf News on reducing swelling after lip fillers. Two PubMed Central studies cover the injectable poly-L-lactic acid family, one on the safety of immediate reconstitution of poly-L-lactic acid and one on optimizing skin quality with poly-L-lactic acid and hyaluronic acid.

Questions about Botox timing

These two are about when and how much, and they depend on your own face and goals. Read them to prepare, then bring your own situation to a clinician.

• Is preventative Botox worth it?
• What is baby Botox?

The FDA question or baby Botox first

If you are weighing a first visit, open the FDA question and read it before any appointment. If you already know Botox is what you want, go to the baby Botox question first.
