How we perceive our appearance can deeply impact our self-confidence, and it’s not just in our heads. Research shows a strong link between how we look and how we feel, as well as how others interact with us. It’s no wonder that more people are turning to cosmetic injectables as a non-surgical way to enhance their natural features and boost their self-esteem.
From smoothing fine lines to restoring lost volume and refining facial contours, injectables offer a personalised, minimally invasive solution tailored to your aesthetic goals. At Plexus Medical & Cosmetic, we believe injectables aren’t just about changing how you look — they’re about helping you feel more confident in your own skin. Learn about the types offered at Plexus and how they work.
Overview of Popular Injectables
Injectable treatments are a non-surgical way to enhance facial aesthetics and address specific concerns like wrinkles, volume loss, or excess fat. Most injectables are quick procedures with minimal downtime and can produce visible results within days. Here’s a closer look at the most popular options:
- Anti-Wrinkle Injections: Relax facial muscles to soften expression lines.
- Dermal Fillers: Restore volume and contour areas like lips, cheeks, and jawline.
- Fat-Dissolving Injections: Target stubborn fat under the chin.
- Mesotherapy Skin Hydration: Boost hydration and elasticity.
- Therapeutic Injections: Help manage migraines, teeth grinding, and excessive sweating.
How They Work & What They Treat
Injectable treatments target a range of cosmetic and medical concerns by working beneath the skin to relax muscles, replenish volume, or break down unwanted fat. Here’s how each treatment type addresses common issues:
- Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Anti-wrinkle injections temporarily relax muscles responsible for repetitive facial movements, softening wrinkles around the forehead, eyes, and mouth while preventing new lines from forming. The injections work by blocking nerve signals to muscles, resulting in a smoother, refreshed appearance.
- Volume Loss and Facial Contouring: Dermal fillers use soft gel-like substances to restore volume and improve facial contours, creating a fuller, more youthful look in areas like cheeks, lips, and jawline.
- Under-Chin Fullness (Double Chin): Fat-dissolving injections use a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid to destroy fat cells under the chin, which the body then eliminates naturally, resulting in a more defined profile.
- Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis): Anti-wrinkle injections block nerve signals to sweat glands in areas like the underarms, hands, or feet, effectively reducing excessive sweating for several months.

What to Expect From a Session
A session with injectable treatments typically involves a consultation to discuss your goals, the procedure itself where injections are administered, and minimal to no downtime afterwards. You may experience temporary side effects like swelling, redness, or bruising, which usually subside within a few days.
- Consultation:
Your Plexus specialist will discuss your goals, assess your facial structure, and review your medical history to recommend the best injectable treatment for you. This is your chance to ask questions and understand the process.
- Procedure:
The treatment involves precise injections of Botox, dermal fillers, or fat-dissolving agents. You may feel a slight pinch, but discomfort is minimal, with numbing options available for your comfort.
- Downtime:
Most clients experience minimal downtime and can resume normal activities quickly. Temporary redness, swelling, or bruising may occur but usually resolve within days. Avoid heavy exercise, sun exposure, and alcohol for 24-48 hours, and use cold compresses if needed.
Common Myths About Injectables
Many people worry that injectables will make them look “frozen” or unnatural, but when performed by skilled clinicians, results are subtle and enhance natural facial movement. Another misconception is that injectables are only for older individuals; however, many younger clients use them to prevent signs of ageing or to refine features. While results aren’t instant or permanent, they develop gradually and can last several months with proper care. Not all injectables are the same. Anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers serve different purposes and are chosen based on your unique goals. And despite common fears, most treatments involve minimal discomfort and downtime.
