Understanding Injectables: Categories and Uses

Injectables are broadly divided into two main categories: toxins and fillers. Toxins, such as Botox and Dysport, are used to reduce muscle contraction, resulting in smoother skin, while fillers are used to restore volume and fill in creases. Each type serves distinct purposes, so it's important for individuals to communicate their specific concerns to their practitioners instead of requesting specific products. This tailored approach ensures that patients receive the most appropriate treatment based on their individual appearance goals.
