Facial injectables are dermal injections used in cosmetic procedures for various purposes based on the consumers' requirements. For instance, as the human skin ages, it starts to sag and grows thinner, and to avoid this sagging of the skin and to smoothen the wrinkles on the face, these injectables are used for a youthful-looking face. In addition, fillers can be used on various parts of the face, like the cheeks, lips, forehead, chin, etc., to give the facial features more definition and a symmetrical structure. There are commonly four types of dermal fillers used in cosmetology; they are hyaluronic acid (HA), Calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA), Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), and Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA). Dermal procedures require thorough preparations as the skin can be susceptible, and the filler injections are given right under the skin to make the area plump. The fillers can have side effects and even cause infections if given without proper advice and testing.

The recent interest in various facial fillers and alterations drives the market's growth rate. For instance, advancements like lip fillers like Botox and RHA fillers to achieve a more aesthetic shape to the face, like cupids, bow lips, and contoured facial structure. In addition, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons reported that more than 7.4 million injections of botulinum toxin type A and 2.6 million injections of soft-tissue fillers were carried out in 2018. Some of the new neurotoxins in the field are daxibotulinum toxin by revance and bonti botulinum toxin by allergan. Additionally, the advancements in facial procedures are supporting the market's growth. For example, some new techniques being invented are rhinoplasty with no scares left behind, minimally invasive anti-aging procedures, fat transferring, micro-needling, and others. Restylane Kysse by Galderma, and Teoxane Resilient Hyaluronic RHA fillers, are two advanced skin filler products launched in 2020 with individual advantages to each product. 

MARKET RESTRAINTS:

Although facial injections have several advantages, several risks are associated with the procedure and many guidelines must be followed for a safe procedure. The FDA has cleared the use of facial injections for wrinkle and fine line reduction, lip plumping, jaw line, cheek, chin, under-eye treatments, fat restoration, acne, and scars; however, even the approved procedures have several side effects post-procedure like redness, swelling, bruising, tenderness, pain, rashes, itchiness. Etc. Additionally, these procedures are not for everyone, as some people like pregnant ladies, lactating mothers, patients with bleeding disorders and specific allergies, and others. It is, therefore, extremely essential to meet with a professional plastic surgeon for these procedures.

Furthermore, there are several procedures the FDA prohibits, like fillers for breasts, butt, body contouring, etc., which, if performed, can result in long-standing illnesses or even death. In addition, there can be complications if the filler is accidentally injected into the bloodstream, causing the area's tissues to have necrosis (death). Finally, since botox and facial fillers are temporary procedures, side effects could be weakening facial muscles and drooping of the eyebrows and eyelids.
