Q: New injectables - Worth it?

A:

Advancing technology is a way of life, even in cosmetic medicine. Having said that, it can be very difficult for the layperson (and even the professional!) to separate hype from reality.

In general, I would stick to treatments that have a proven record of safety and efficacy. Newer treatments may offer additional benefits compared to older treatments, but in some (but not all!) cases these benefits may be unproven or there may be other drawbacks.

An honest and knowledgeable provider should be able to help you separate the reality from the hype.
