Injectables

Yes, cosmetic injectables are considered safe when administered by trained and experienced professionals. At Oviedo Med Spa, all treatments are performed by board-certified physicians using FDA-approved products.

While minor side effects such as redness or swelling at the injection site are possible, these are typically mild and temporary. During your consultation, we’ll review your medical history to ensure injectables are a safe and effective option for you.

The areas treated by injectables vary depending on your goals.

Broadly speaking, however, injectables are versatile treatments that can target a variety of areas, including:

• Forehead lines and frown lines
• Crow’s feet around the eyes
• Lips, cheeks, and jawline for volume enhancement
• Nasolabial folds and smile lines
• Chin and corners of the mouth

In addition to cosmetic concerns, injectables can also treat medical conditions like migraines, TMJ, and excessive sweating in areas such as the underarms.

The timeline for results depends on the type of injectable. Neuromodulators like Botox and Dysport typically show initial effects within 3 to 5 days, with full results developing in about 10 to 14 days. Dermal fillers provide immediate volume and smoothing, with optimal results visible once any initial swelling subsides.

Your provider will discuss the expected timeline during your appointment.

To minimize the risk of bruising, avoid blood-thinning medications such as aspirin, ibuprofen, or vitamin E supplements for a week before your appointment (unless directed otherwise by your doctor). Arrive with a clean, makeup-free face if possible, and inform your provider of any recent medical procedures or medications you’re taking.

We’ll provide personalized preparation tips based on the treatment you’re receiving.

Injectable treatments require little to no downtime, and most patients return to their regular activities immediately. You may experience mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site, but these effects typically subside within a few hours to a few days. Avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol, and sun exposure for the first 24 to 48 hours to ensure the best results.

Your provider will give you detailed post-treatment care instructions to maximize your recovery and results.
