The Importance of Skincare with Injectables
Confidence starts with the health and appearance of your skin. While many people choose to have cosmetic injectables to enhance their facial features and smooth out fine lines and wrinkles, injectables do not address your skin’s underlying health.
At Refine Laser and Skin Care in Chanhassen, MN, we’ve seen firsthand how common it is for our patients to get excited about their results from injectables only to stop taking care of their skin right after.
Don’t get us wrong– the results that injectables like Botox, Dysport, Sculptra, and Bellafill give you are impactful and very satisfying. It’s amazing to utilize these to smooth out your skin, reverse the appearance of wrinkles and folds, and essentially be able to contour and define your features to match your desired look.
But, injectables are not a shortcut to having healthy skin. They treat your outer appearance aesthetically, but won’t treat ongoing skin concerns like sun damage, acne, texture, hyperpigmentation, and skin laxity. Not only that, untreated skin issues and not having a solid skincare routine can lessen the effects and longevity of the injectables you receive.
Skincare is Preventative Care
Taking care of your skin on a daily basis will pay off for years to come. The choices, habits, and products that you use now will greatly affect the appearance and health of your skin at every future age. Using anti-aging skincare products now that work for your skin type and skin concerns will help prevent future issues from ever arising and combat existing ones until they are gone for good.
If you continue to avoid having a solid skincare routine, skin issues and concerns will only continue to worsen. Prioritizing skin health now leads to a greater return of investment on your filler results and will decrease the number of skin issues you have to treat later.
Skincare is The Long Game
Caring for your skin requires attention and consistently having good habits. You won’t see super quick results like the instantaneous results you see from neurotoxins and filler, but be patient! It will all be worth it, and your future self will be thankful one day.
The team at Refine Laser and Skin Care has many recommendations when it comes to your skin’s health. Some of the most common are:
Wearing SPF and protecting yourself from the sun
Staying hydrated daily
Having a skin consultation with our expert team to see which medical-grade products work best for your skin type and skin concerns
Investing in both injectables and skincare products to enhance both your skin’s health and facial appearance
Sticking to a consistent daily routine when it comes to cleansing, moisturizing, and taking care of your skin
Skincare Products and Injectables = Package Deal
We understand that both cosmetic injectables and medical-grade skincare products are an investment. But, don’t make one investment without the other. Your underlying skin health is just as important as your outer appearance. The relationship between injectables and skincare products can be compared to diet and exercise. They both go hand-in-hand.
The results you get from cosmetic injectables will be greatly enhanced if you are consistently using effective skincare products. Filler sets better into healthy skin and lasts longer if proper skincare products are being used. Don’t choose the quick and easy route that your skin will have to pay for later.
