What Women of Color Need to Know About Getting Injectables

There are many things that women of color need to know about getting injectables such as Botox

While injectables have become less taboo over the years, many black women seem to be more hush hush on the work they get done. 

Dark Skin Needs

One of the biggest reasons why injectables may still seem like a more popular treatment for lighter skin tones is because darker pigmented skin toes are less susceptible to damage from ultraviolet light. 

This makes women of color generally less affected by wrinkles and volume loss as they age. 

Injectables for Women of Color

Women of color generally begin to request injectable treatments later in life than Caucasian women. 

However, most patients still tend to fall around age 30 regardless of ethnicity. 

Most injectors have seen an uptick in women of color requesting filler treatments along with Botox treatment for wrinkles. 

Popular treatment areas for this patient population include the following:

  • The forehead
  • Glabellar lines
  • Around the eyes
  • Beneath the ears
  • Correcting a dimpled chin

Are the Results Natural?

A big fear that many women have when going in for a Botox or filler treatment is looking overdone. 

By booking your treatments with a board-certified and highly experienced injector you can rest assured that it is entirely possible to achieve natural looking results. 

The goal is to have a gracefully-aged look to counteract the signs of aging, without erasing them completely.
