Natural Results: How to Use Injectables for a Natural Look
Description
In this presentation, Bella Jones discusses the importance of achieving a natural aesthetic in cosmetic injectables. She defines a natural look as enhancing appearance while preserving individual expressions. The consultation process is crucial, emphasizing the need to assess patients both at rest and during facial movements to set realistic expectations. Jones highlights specific areas prone to unnatural results when using neurotoxins and fillers, including the eyebrow, crow's feet, mid-face, and lips. She shares techniques for avoiding common pitfalls, such as injecting the correct amount and depth to maintain natural contours. For eyebrows, her techniques focus on carefully positioning injections to avoid brow deformities. She also addresses the significance of combination therapy to improve patient satisfaction and longevity of results, recommending procedures like laser treatments alongside injectables. Furthermore, she emphasizes the need for gradual changes to build trust and suggests ongoing learning for practitioners to stay informed about best practices and new injectable options. Ultimately, the takeaway is to prioritize a natural look and tailor treatments to individual patient needs.
