“When Beauty Meets the needle”
As we may all know the Beauty Industry is the most sought out industry for both men and women with Cosmetic Procedures topping the charts at record high numbers. Chemical peels, botox , dermal filler injections and mommy makeovers are just a few at the top of the list in which people from around the world are making beauty a number one priority. Fashionista and Beauty Blogger, Aura’ By Le’ Toussaint is here to share her expertise as a Certified Aesthetics Registered Nurse on the pros and cons of Botox and Dermal Fillers, both non-surgical Aesthetic medical procedures.
In a world where many are surrounded by Celebrity A-listers and Social Media Influence, a youthful appearance aka “ The Glow Up” is heavily saturated throughout online platforms. There’s no doubt that fear of the needle or should I say going “under the knife” is a thing of the past. People from all around the world have considered cosmetic surgery a time or two and countless women made an important life changing decision.
So let’s get into it ..
What are some of the benefits of Botox and Dermal Filler injections? Botox alone has been the “number one aesthetic procedure of plastic surgeons dating back to the 1990’s”. Botox and Dermal Fillers have topped the charts in the billion dollar beauty industry making them the most desired procedures. There’s no doubt one can not escape the natural aging process but Botox can indeed help improve fine lines and wrinkles by relaxing muscles in the face. This procedure is one that ultimately achieves a youthful and defined appearance. Simultaneously, people tend to use both for a tighter and smooth appearance depending on which part of the face is being targeted. Most candidates opt out and take only the dermal filler route when in need of more facial volume caused by loose sagging skin. However, dermal fillers are very popular for those wanting to achieve the “pouty” or full lips appearance.
I can not express the importance of RESEARCHING any healthcare provider choosing to perform any type of cosmetic surgery and/or procedure. It's crucial to know when one utilizes a needle or any type of instrument that pierces the skin, is considered a “surgical-like procedure.” Therefore, individuals performing Botox injections should ONLY be a licensed healthcare provider. Anyone outside these industries, may possibly be practicing outside their scope of practice or simply just not qualified to be your injector. Why you may ask? Because Botox and Dermal fillers are both forms of beauty regimens that require prescribed medication to perform. Choosing an experienced professional will help eliminate long term complications and could potentially avoid being administered black market products. Not to mention it’s completely and down right ILLEGAL!
Below are just a few trusted FDA approved products. If your provider is not using one mentioned below or any approved FDA brand, start asking QUESTIONS immediately. These are all prescribed injectables.
*Botox
*Dysport
*Xeomin

Whatever you decide in order to enhance your God given beauty, make sure to do it with confidence and at the most responsible and safest method possible.
