The Skinny of Soft Tissue Fillers, Anti-Wrinkle Injections and Botox

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Both men and women are turning to minimally invasive cosmetic treatments to smooth and soften fine lines, folds and wrinkles. These treatments either plump out flat spaces in the face or neck with dermal fillers, or they ease wrinkles by injecting different strains of the botulinum toxin. Read on for details:

Temporary Soft Tissue Fillers

Temporary soft tissue fillers include hyaluronic acid and collagen. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring sugar, while collagen is a natural complex of proteins that’s found in nearly all the tissues of the body, including bones, skin and tendons. Dermatologists use purified human or bovine collagen for soft tissue fillers.

 

Temporary fillers can last for about three to six months. Eventually, they are absorbed harmlessly by the body, but the client has the option of returning for maintenance treatments. Cosmos Clinic before and after photos show much-reduced wrinkles and lines in the face of these clients and a more youthful look overall.

Semi-Permanent Fillers

Semi-permanent fillers use substances such as synthetic calcium hydroxylapatite, poly-L-lactic acid or the client’s own fat. A client who is getting a procedure such as liposuction can have their removed fat purified and used to give volume to areas in their face. One of the benefits of this type of fat transfer is that there’s no risk of rejection. Semi-permanent fillers can last as long as two years.

Permanent

A client who has decided on permanent dermal fillers has a choice of such materials as silicone injections, tiny spheres of PMMA in bovine collagen, polymers and synthetic hydrogel.

Botox

Botox is the botulinum toxin A, which is purified and suspended in a solution before it’s injected. It works by paralyzing the muscle beneath the wrinkle, which causes it to smooth out. Interestingly, a wrinkle treated with Botox never quite returns to its former depth because the muscle “learns,” to stay smoothed out to some extent. There are different types of Botox, including:

Dysport

Dysport has a lower protein load than regular Botox, so the client is less likely to have an allergic reaction to it. Some dermatologists claim that it lasts longer than regular Botox and causes less swelling and bruising. It is also used in larger areas of the client’s face because it tends to spread out more and costs a bit less. It has been specifically approved for frown lines, but is also used to reduce the look of bands on the neck, bunny lines and marionette lines.

Xeomin

In the United States, Xeomin was approved by the FDA to soften the lines between the client’s eyebrows, around their eyes and in their forehead.

Procedures

All of these anti-wrinkle products are injected just beneath the skin with fine needles. They are all outpatient procedures and last between 15 minutes to a half an hour. When the session is over, the client can return to their daily activities, though it’s recommended that they take it easy for a day or two.

There is inevitably some bruising, swelling and redness at the injection sites, but this can be eased with ice packs at home. The client should avoid rubbing or massaging the areas to prevent the product from spreading. This is especially true of Botox and its derivatives. The toxin can paralyze other muscles in the face and neck and lead to drooping eyelids, difficulty in swallowing and other side effects.
