Thinking about getting injectables for the first time? Whether you’re curious about smoothing out fine lines with Botox or adding a little volume with dermal fillers, you’re not alone—and you’re definitely not the only one with questions.
At OBNoxious Beauty MedSpa, we know trying something new (especially something involving needles!) can feel intimidating. But with the right information and expert care, it doesn’t have to be. In fact, it can be exciting—and a major confidence boost.
Here’s everything you need to know about getting injectables for the first time, so you can walk in feeling informed, calm, and ready to glow.
💉 What Are Injectables, Exactly?
Injectables are non-surgical cosmetic treatments administered via small, targeted injections. The two most popular categories are:
- Neurotoxins (like Botox or Dysport): These temporarily relax facial muscles to reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles (think frown lines, crow’s feet, forehead lines).
- Dermal Fillers (like Juvederm or Restylane): These add volume to areas that have lost fullness or need contouring, such as the cheeks, lips, jawline, or under-eye area.
Both offer natural-looking results when done by a skilled, licensed provider.
🗓 Step 1: Book a Consultation
Your first step is a personalized consultation with our experienced injector. This is your time to talk about:
- What you’d like to improve (lines, volume loss, symmetry, etc.)
- Your beauty goals (natural, enhanced, subtle, bold)
- Any health conditions, allergies, or previous cosmetic treatments
We’ll assess your facial anatomy, recommend the best treatment options, and walk you through the process—no pressure, no judgment.
🤔 What Happens During the Appointment?
Once you decide to move forward, here’s what a typical injectable appointment looks like:
1. Pre-Treatment Prep
- We’ll cleanse your skin and may apply a numbing cream (especially for fillers).
- You’ll be seated comfortably, and we’ll mark the injection sites if needed.
2. The Injections
- Using a very fine needle, we inject small amounts of product into targeted areas.
- Most clients describe it as a small pinch—totally tolerable and over quickly.
3. Aftercare & What to Expect
- You may have some mild redness, swelling, or bruising—this is normal and temporary.
- Avoid touching the area, strenuous exercise, and alcohol for 24 hours.
- Results from Botox take about 3–7 days to appear; fillers show results immediately, with full settling in 1–2 weeks.
💬 Common Questions We Hear from First-Timers:
“Will I look frozen or overdone?”
Not with us! Our philosophy is natural, balanced beauty. We enhance, not erase.
“How long do results last?”
- Botox: around 3–4 months
- Fillers: 6–12+ months depending on the area and product used
“Is there downtime?”
Most people return to work or their normal routine right after. A little swelling or bruising can happen, but it’s usually minor and easy to cover.
