Cosmetic Injectables: What Are They, and Are They Safe?

Expert Guidance from Skinfluence in Calgary

In the ever-evolving world of aesthetic medicine, cosmetic injectables have become a trusted solution for smoothing wrinkles, restoring volume, and enhancing facial features—with minimal downtime and natural-looking results. But with popularity comes questions: What exactly are injectables? Are they safe? And who should you trust to administer them?

In this post, the team at Skinfluence Medical Aesthetics in Calgary breaks it all down—so you can make confident, informed decisions about your skin.

What Are Cosmetic Injectables?

Cosmetic injectables are non-surgical treatments that use FDA-approved substances to temporarily relax muscles, fill in volume loss, or refine facial contours. The two main types of injectables are:

1. Neuromodulators (e.g., BOTOX®)

These relax targeted facial muscles to reduce dynamic wrinkles caused by movement—like frown lines, forehead creases, and crow’s feet.

  • Results: Smoother, more refreshed appearance
  • Duration: Typically lasts 3–4 months
  • Treatment Areas: Forehead, brow, jawline, chin, neck

2. Dermal Fillers (e.g., Juvéderm®)

Fillers use hyaluronic acid (a substance naturally found in the body) to restore lost volume, enhance facial structure, and smooth deeper lines.

  • Results: Lifted, fuller, youthful contours
  • Duration: 6–18 months depending on area and product
  • Treatment Areas: Cheeks, lips, nasolabial folds, under-eyes, jawline
