BOTOX® Cosmetic/Dysport®
Botox Cosmetic is a wrinkle muscle relaxer injectable that features botulinum toxin type A. This toxin is able to paralyze muscle temporarily to reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
As you get older, your body will produce less and less collagen. Collagen is a protein that keeps the skin firm and supple. Without it, fine lines and wrinkles can form.
Facial rejuvenation treatment with Botox can help minimize the appearance of your fine lines and wrinkles. It’s often used around the face. For example, you can also use it on the forehead between the eyes.
Treatment with Botox is minimally invasive. It’s considered both effective and safe.
It’s now the number one non-surgical cosmetic procedure performed in the US as a result.
In fact, Botox has maintained FDA approval since 1989. It was first used for blepharospasm and other eye muscle conditions. In 2002, it gained approval for cosmetic treatments.
Botox works by temporarily blocking muscle contractions and nerve signals. Preventing the contraction of facial muscles can slow the formation of new lines.
Since the treatment is minimally invasive, it doesn’t require general anesthesia or incisions. You can talk to a technician if you’re concerned about discomfort at the injection site.
A topical anesthetic or ice can help.
The technician will use a thin needle to inject botulinum toxin type A around your face. Target areas are usually between the eyebrows and the sides of each eye. The procedure should only take about 10 minutes.
Benefits and Side Effects
You don’t have to worry about downtime to heal after a treatment session. Instead, you can get back to your routine right away.
You’ll likely notice results within two days. Results can last up to four months.
As with any treatment, there are a few side effects you might need to consider. These might include:
- Neck pain
- Headaches
- Tiredness
- Swelling or drooping around the eyelids
- Dry eyes
- Double vision
- Allergic reactions (itching, rash, etc.)
If you experience these side effects, talk to your technician right away.
Otherwise, make sure to avoid rubbing around the treatment area. Otherwise, the Botox could spread to other areas.
Chemical Peels
With facial rejuvenation using chemical peels, a technician will apply a chemical solution to your skin. The solution can remove the top layers of the skin to encourage growth. The new skin that grows in its place will appear smoother.
Chemical peels can help treat scars, discoloration, and wrinkles. You can combine this treatment with other procedures, too.
You can also choose to target different depths ranging from light to deeper. Choosing a deeper peel can lead to more dramatic results. However, you’ll likely need more time to recover.
Benefits and Side Effects
Lighter peels treat acne, fine lines, uneven skin tone, and dryness.
Medium peels can treat wrinkles, acne scars, or uneven skin tones.
Deeper peels treat precancerous growths and scars.
Potential side effects might include:
- Infection
- Heart, kidney, or liver damage
- Changes in skin color
- Scarring
- Redness
- Scabbing
- Swelling
Make sure to choose a licensed, experienced provider before scheduling your appointment. They can minimize the chances of these side effects. You can focus on the benefits of skin rejuvenation instead.
Injectable Fillers
Remember, Botox can reduce muscle movement that causes wrinkling. Injectable fillers, on the other hand, add volume to grooves and wrinkles. They are then able to help produce the appearance of smoother skin.
Some injectable fillers are synthetic. Others use naturally occurring substances to replace the body’s natural collagen and fluid. During the aging process, you can lose these fluids or collagen.
Injectable fillers are usually used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. However, they can also add volume to your lips.
You can speak with a technician to review the different types of injectables that are available.
Benefits and Side Effects
Fillers can help improve your appearance by producing younger-looking skin. You can minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This treatment could produce more visible bone structure, too.
If you’re self-conscious about visible signs of aging, talk to a provider about the benefits of facial rejuvenation. They can help you determine which treatment aligns with your needs and goals.
Side effects might include itching, bruising, or swelling. These side effects are usually minimal and easy to manage, though.
Obagi® Skin Care
You might want to talk to a provider about using Obagi skin care products instead. Obagi skin products, like daily conditioners, can treat fine lines, wrinkles, and discoloration.
Each surgical kit offers its own range of products that you can apply each morning and night. You can speak with a provider to determine which products align with your needs.
Benefits and Side Effects
Obagi skin products can help improve the underlying problems with your skin. They could help reduce the appearance of brown spots and wrinkles, too.
You could experience a little peeling when you initially use a product. Let your provider know if you experience any other side effects.
You can combine these products with a chemical peel appointment for even more enhanced results.
