Wrinkle relaxers and dermal fillers in Reno

Injectables, in general terms

An injectable is a product placed into or under the skin with a needle or cannula. In a med spa, that usually means wrinkle relaxers or dermal fillers. Products, doses and techniques differ, and so do the areas a provider will consider.

Because these are injected, rules are stricter than for a facial. Injectables are given by licensed providers where state law allows, and Nevada sets who may inject and what supervision applies. A provider will also need your health history and a list of your medicines before anything is decided.

If you are curious but unsure, a consultation request is a low-pressure way to ask.

Questions to ask about injectables

Write these down and bring them:

1. What product are you suggesting, and why this one?
2. Is it a wrinkle relaxer or a dermal filler?
3. What is your license, and how often do you inject?
4. Do any of my medicines or conditions matter here?
5. What side effects are possible, such as bruising or swelling?
6. What would you do if a complication happened?
7. How long do people usually wait between visits?
8. Can a filler be dissolved if needed?

Injectables are given by licensed providers where state law allows, and a careful provider welcomes questions.

Getting ready for an injectables consultation

Before an injectables consultation, take ten minutes to write a few notes:

• the area or areas you want to ask about
• a list of medicines and supplements, including aspirin, fish oil and vitamin E
• allergies, including to numbing creams
• any past injectables, with dates and where you had them
• whether you are pregnant, planning to be, or breastfeeding
• events in the coming weeks, since bruising can show

Bring the notes with photo ID and your questions. A licensed provider uses them to decide what is suitable.
