Q: What are the long term side effects of injectables?
A:
In theory, there should be no long-term side effects with these products.
Botox was first FDA approved 20 years ago and approved for cosmetic use 7 years ago. Restylane was approved 6 years ago and Juvederm which is a similar hyaluronic acid, was appoved 3 years ago. These products have all been used extensively and have great track records when used by experienced injectors. When you pick products like these that are tried and true, and pick a doctor you trust, you should be very satisfied with your treatments.
