Injections have become a popular quick fix to changing the aesthetics of your face in recent years. With the rise of filters and celebrities opting for fillers and Botox, the topic of injections continues to gain more attention. While injections may seem hard to approach as a newbie, getting the right consultation beforehand can make a huge difference. We sat down with Haute Beauty expert\u00a0Rachel Duke <\/strong><\/a>to see which methods she has seen success with when speaking to patients and what type of injections are the most popular at the moment. If you\u2019ve been considering getting injections, here\u2019s everything you need to know.<\/p>\n

What does the generic initial consultation include?<\/h3>\n

An initial consultation\u00a0is one hour. This allows time to discuss the patient's concerns and provide treatment on the same day if the patient wishes to do so.<\/p>\n

Most of the time, do you consult and inject during the same \u201cconsultation\u201d period?<\/h3>\n

If the patient\u00a0wishes to do so and if there is an appropriate amount of time. Botox is commonly done on the same day; filler is sometimes\u00a0scheduled\u00a0later due to the need for possible downtime and healing after the injections. We try to access what\u2019s best for the patient on a case-to-case basis.<\/p>\n

What is the most common question you get asked regarding injections?<\/h3>\n

Will I look natural and like myself after?<\/p>\n
