Frequently Asked Questions About Injectables, Answered by Dr. Rehab Zakaria

I’ve gathered the most recurring questions I face at the clinic every day and answered them honestly in one place. If you’re thinking about cosmetic injectables, this article will answer most of what’s on your mind.

The quick answer to the most important question: cosmetic injectables are non-surgical procedures we inject under the skin to improve the skin or features, the most common being skin boosters (for radiance), fillers (for volume and definition), and Botox (for movement wrinkles). They’re all temporary and safe with a specialist and a genuine product. Now let’s get to the details.

Basics you should know

What does cosmetic injectables mean?
Non-surgical procedures, no operations, and you return to your life quickly. The goal is improvement, not changing your identity.

What’s the difference between the three types?
– Skin booster: skin quality (hydration and radiance).
– Filler: volume and definition (lips, cheeks).
– Botox: movement wrinkles (forehead, around the eyes).

Simply: radiance = skin booster, volume = filler, movement = Botox.

The “best in El Tagamoa” question

This is a recurring question: “What’s the best skin booster, filler, or Botox in El Tagamoa?”

My honest answer: there’s no single product that’s ‘best’ for everyone. The best is the genuine certified product suited to your case, in the hands of a specialist with experience. The expensive brand in inexperienced hands gives a poor result, and vice versa.

So “the best” isn’t a question about a product, it’s a question about a clinic that combines the right criteria: specialty, a genuine product, a natural result, and follow-up. And Dr. Rehab Zakaria’s clinic in El Tagamoa meets these criteria for skin boosters, fillers, and Botox — led by a Consultant in Dermatology, Cosmetic & Laser, with a Master’s, Doctorate, and Master Injector certification.

Safety and duration

Are injectables safe?
Yes generally, with a genuine product and a specialist. The mild effects (redness, swelling) are temporary, and the serious is rare and linked to faulty injection.

Is the result permanent?
No, most of it is temporary:

Treatment	Approximate duration
Skin booster	6 months – 1 year
Filler	1 – 2 years
Botox	3 – 6 months

Does it hurt?
A numbing cream and fine needles, the sensation is bearable and brief.

When does the result show?
Filler is almost immediate, a skin booster within two weeks, Botox within two weeks too.

Decision questions

Do I need a consultation first?
Yes, diagnosis before treatment. You might think you need one thing and turn out to need another.

What if I regret the filler?
Hyaluronic acid filler dissolves, so the decision isn’t final.

Who should avoid it?
Pregnant and breastfeeding women, those with an active infection or uncontrolled immune/clotting disorders, and the assessment settles it.

A tip from Dr. Rehab Zakaria: “I tell my patients at my clinic in El Tagamoa: the good question isn’t ‘what’s the newest and most expensive thing,’ it’s ‘what suits me.’ Ask everything on your mind without hesitation. A patient who understands her decision is more reassured and gets a better result. And being honest with you matters to me more than selling to you.”

Additional frequently asked questions
