Why Only a Board-Certified Medical Professional Should Administer Your Wrinkle-Reducing Injectables
Bothered by fine lines and wrinkles? There’s no shortage of anti-aging solutions that can minimize their appearance. From laser treatments and chemical peels to microneedling and dermal fillers, cosmetic dermatology has many ways to revitalize your skin.
But of all the anti-aging options that are available today, neurotoxin injectables — including Jeuveau®, Dysport®, and Botox® — remain, by far, the most popular cosmetic treatment. Every year in the United States, millions of people opt to get rid of their crow’s feet and worry lines with these highly effective neuromodulators.
If you’re ready to join their ranks, our expert team at Keehan Dermatology in Fort Worth, Texas, can help. Here’s why it’s so important to choose a board-certified dermatologist like Dr. Patrick Keehan to administer your wrinkle-reducing Jeuveau injections.
Understanding how Jeuveau smoothes your skin
Jeuveau contains botulinum toxin, a highly purified protein derived from the natural bacterium Clostridium botulinum. Jeuveau works to smooth fine lines and wrinkles by blocking the nerve signals that keep your expressive facial muscles in an ongoing state of contraction, making your dynamic wrinkles look more prominent.
When Dr. Keehan injects small doses of Jeuveau or any other neuromodulator into specific points of your facial anatomy, it relaxes the underlying facial muscles. These products are FDA-approved to help smooth out:
- Crow’s feet, or the fine lines at the corners of your eyes
- Worry lines, or the horizontal creases across your forehead
- Angry 11s, or the vertical furrows between your brows
Wrinkle-reducing injectables deliver near-immediate results that last up to six months. When done by a skilled injector, no one can tell you’ve had the treatment — fine lines will disappear and deep wrinkles will look smoother, but your brow won’t look “frozen.”
Expertise matters when you’re getting injectables
You should only choose a highly skilled board-certified provider to administer Jeuveau and other neurotoxin injections. Here’s why:
Advanced skill and expertise
A board-certified dermatologist who specializes in cosmetic injectables — which includes various types of neuromodulators as well as dermal fillers — is fully licensed to administer them and highly skilled at doing so.
Their extensive expertise in the benefits and applications of each injectable type, along with their in-depth knowledge of facial anatomy, skin health, and wrinkle types, ensures that you get the right treatment for your specific anti-aging goals.
And if Jeuveau or another neurotoxin happens to be the best solution for your skin needs, you can expect a fully customized experience.
Customized approach
Just as no two people have the exact same combination of facial features and age-related skin changes, there’s no cookie-cutter, one-size-fits-all solution for these varying issues. A highly trained and experienced injectable specialist understands this, and creates an injectable treatment plan that matches your needs.
When you select a board-certified provider to administer your neurotoxin, you can expect to receive the exact dosages for your needs, injected with precision in just the right spots, to give you the subtle, natural-looking results you’re after.
Your safety is a top priority
Experienced cosmetic injectable specialists are more than just masters of the skillful art of administering neurotoxin injectables; they’re also experts in patient safety. This means they understand the neuromodulator’s specified “on-label” uses and application techniques.
All cosmetic injectables are classified as elective medical substances. Accordingly, Jeuveau, Dysport, and Botox should only be administered by a fully licensed provider in a sterile environment. When you get these injectables at Keehan Dermatology, we always put your health, safety, and comfort first.
When Jeuveau is injected by an unskilled hand
The alternative to getting wrinkle-smoothing injectables from a fully trained, board-certified pro is getting it from an unskilled, inexperienced provider. When you choose an inexpensive “back door” cosmetic injectable provider, you’re far more likely to wind up with:
- A one-size-fits-all treatment approach with disappointing results
- A heavy-handed technique that makes you look overdone or frozen
- Unapproved off-label applications that risk your health and safety
- Incorrect application techniques that lead to swelling and bruising
- Lack of awareness when faced with a rare adverse allergic reaction
Simply put, you’re taking a major gamble with your health, safety, and appearance when you have an unskilled provider administer your neurotoxin.
