More women are turning to injectables to wind back the clock

More and more Australians are turning to injectable treatments instead of going under the knife, according to a leading cosmetic surgeon.

According to Dr Vivek Eranki of Cosmetique, patients are concerned that cosmetic surgery is not only expensive, it is also permanent and comes with risks.

“Injectable treatments such as filler, wrinkle relaxants and fat dissolving are virtually instant however they are not permanent and their level of treatment can be adjusted according to the desired aesthetic outcomes of the patient,” Dr Eranki said.

“Further, they can also be administered on a gradual basis, allowing the patient to dip their toe in the water so to speak,”

Here’s why Dr Eranki says injectable treatments are preferable to invasive cosmetic surgery.

Injectables are non-permanent

Depending on the procedure and individual, you could be enjoying the effects of your treatment for around three months or so on average.

If for any reason you decide that you would like to change your look at your next appointment, you can do this. This is the beauty of injectable treatments, they can be adjusted as you need to achieve a different look or outcome.”

Injectable treatments are cost effective

There are a number of different injectable treatments available and the cost is small compared to cosmetic surgery which can cost into the tens of thousands.

No scalpel, no down time

You don’t actually go under the knife. No scalpel, no down time! If you were to get a face lift, you would be looking at nearly a month in terms of full recovery. And don’t forget, during this time you would be feeling very uncomfortable, with lots of bruising and heavy bandaging to keep the swelling under control.

And of course, there’s that safety knowing that with injectables, you’ll come out of the procedure still looking like yourself – but better.

Injectable treatments deliver fast and effective results

Injectables are so effective that the results are often just the same as more invasive procedures such as cosmetic surgery, but without the risk, down time, cost and lack of ability to change your mind.
