Okay, now that that's out of the way, let's talk about one of those procedures in particular: injectables. These are formulas that are injected — hence the name — into the skin to alter the appearance and, sometimes, the structure of the skin. They are divided into four main categories: neuromodulators (freezers), fillers, biostimulators (collagen-building), and fat modulators (dissolvers). According to The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), 15.6 million cosmetic procedures, including both minimally invasive and surgical, were performed in the United States in 2014. Of those 15.6 million, injectable treatments made up 9 million. Which is a 4% increase from 2013. Meaning, injectables are not only becoming more commonplace, they are being also administered more frequently.
