When you look in the mirror, is there something that you fixate on? Is it forehead wrinkles? Thin lips? Acne scars? We obviously think you're gorgeous just as you are, but if you can't stop obsessing, you may want to look into injectables.
These fillers and freezers can go a long way toward fixing these concerns; however, there are so many on the market right now. To help you figure out if you would like to try Botox or Juvéderm or something you've never heard of, we created this handy guide to injectables.
These neuromodulators fight dynamic wrinkles—wrinkles caused by muscle movement—by relaxing the muscles that cause the wrinkles. If your wrinkles still appear when your face is at rest, you may need a filler.

Note: These are FDA- and manufacturer-approved areas for injection. Some doctors will use these injectables "off-label," which means injecting an area that isn't officially approved for injections. For instance, they'll use Dysport to smooth crow's-feet, or even use Botox to raise the nasal tip for a faux rhinoplasty.
