In today’s modern era, it is widely known that individuals are not confined to their natural facial appearance. Countless people across the globe opt for facial reconstruction and improvements to boost their self-esteem, address injuries, birth abnormalities, or scars, and enhance their overall quality of life. Injection treatments are often regarded as a less intense approach to altering one’s face and have gained significant popularity.
Before proceeding with a treatment, it is crucial to ensure that it is suitable for you. To assist you in making an informed decision, we have compiled and organized a list of the most popular and widely discussed facial injection treatments of the current year. This way, you can familiarize yourself with the latest trends and determine whether or not it aligns with your interests.
Lips
Many women have recently prioritized lip fillers as a popular facial enhancement, likely influenced by social media personalities and famous figures. Previously, these injections were exclusively made with collagen, but now there are multiple options available, primarily containing hyaluronic acid. This natural substance is naturally present in the human body and has a strong affinity for water, allowing it to attach quickly and retain up to 1000 times its own weight. Hyaluronic acid fillers are increasingly utilized to modify the shape or emphasize the lips’ intrinsic beauty. Below are a few of the names commonly associated with these fillers:
- Juvederm is an injectable treatment that enhances the appearance of lips, making them fuller and more youthful. It can also be used to hydrate dry lips, providing visible moisture.
- The preferred choice for individuals seeking lasting outcomes, Juvederm Volbella XC is a combination therapy that enhances lip volume and reduces lines around the lips. Its effects can endure for approximately a year. This treatment is particularly favored by women dealing with wrinkle issues due to its effectiveness in addressing lip lines.
- Restylane is another type of filler that is used to enhance the lips and provide a more natural and subtle rejuvenation. It is similar to Juvederm in its ability to improve lip moisture and achieve a youthful appearance. In the past, a less noticeable filler look was less popular as more individuals preferred an exaggerated and extravagant appearance. However, there has been a shift towards favoring subtlety again over the past few years.
Nose
In the past, the term “nose job” used to evoke frightening associations with surgical procedures, faces marked with bruises, and extended healing periods. However, there has been an increasing popularity of liquid nose jobs, also known as filler nose jobs. This technique involves the use of injections instead of surgery, which delivers several advantages to the patient, such as saving significant time and minimizing pain. These fillers have the ability to:
- Provide substitute structures for the unbalanced parts of the nose.
- Smooth out small bumps
- Smooth out the shape of the nose and enhance the height of the nasal bridge, creating the illusion of a slimmer appearance.
- Improve specific features of the form to make smaller noses appear more attractive.
- Add some lift to a nose tip that droops
- Address any problems that may have arisen as a result of previous nose surgeries.
Eyes
It is commonly understood that the eyes reflect a person’s inner thoughts and emotions, which is why many modifications to one’s face usually revolve around enhancing the eyes.
- Botox remains a popular choice for filler injections, especially in the eye area where wrinkles tend to appear. The term “11 points” pertains to the space between the eyebrows that commonly develop furrows and wrinkles, thus prompting many women who desire a younger appearance to opt for this particular treatment.
- Powder brows are a recent cosmetic procedure that is comparable to microblading. It entails injecting small amounts of pigment into the top layers of the skin in the eyebrow region, creating a gentle, powdery appearance that enhances and shapes the brows. The process of getting powder brows is nearly painless, and with proper maintenance, the results can endure for a significant amount of time.
- The current trend known as “fox eyes” involves several procedures to create a wide-eyed and glamorous appearance. Botox is employed to smoothen the lines around the eyebrows and give a lifted appearance to make the eyes look more open. Facial fillers are also used to plump and smooth the area around the eyes, as well as lift the skin above the eyes, resulting in an enhanced almond shape. Some individuals may opt for additional surgical treatments and eyelash extensions to fully achieve this look, but this increases the recovery period and the possibility of infection.
Skin
There is a growing trend of using dermal fillers not only for facial enhancement, but also for addressing skin issues that cause insecurity and irritation.
- The use of Belotero Balance fillers has gained popularity in diminishing the appearance and feel of pitted acne scars, serving as a treatment for such scars.
- A common problem that many people experience is the appearance of dark, sunken eyes and under-eye bags. To address this issue, individuals can choose to use soft hyaluronic acid fillers or autologous fat to lighten the dark skin around the eyes. Another option is to use the opaque filler Radiesse, which can effectively improve dark shadows and provides longer-lasting results.
Face structure
People are frequently using facial injection treatments to improve or alter the appearance of their facial bone structure or face shape. Juvederm Voluma and Restylane-Lyft are commonly applied to the cheeks and jaw area as fillers. Juvederm Volux is a newer option specifically to help with sculpting and shaping the jaw area. The purpose of these changes is often to achieve desired enhancements.
- The fillers are injected strategically to shape the jawline, creating a sharper and more prominent angular appearance. This can also involve extending the chin forward to enhance the overall angular look.
- The fillers help to increase the volume of cheeks that may be sagging or lacking definition, resulting in a more youthful appearance and emphasizing the cheekbones.
No matter what change you are considering for your face, it is important to consult with your injection professional and clearly communicate your desired outcome. It is advisable to seek out injectors who have a good reputation to ensure responsible advice and excellent results.
