What is Botox®?
Botox®, Dysport and Xeomin are cosmetic treatments designed to help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, specifically crow’s feet and frown lines located between the eyebrows. The recurring use of muscles which allow our faces to squint and frown makes the skin crease and wrinkle and these imperfections can worsen over time. The Botox®, Dysport or Xeomin injections will lessen muscle activity temporarily which causes a visible change in the creases and lines of the face. To work on the muscles which result in folds of the skin, Botox®, Dysport and Xeomin are used beneath the surface.
Treating Frown Lines
Frown lines, also known as glabellar lines, are the vertical “11” lines between the eyebrows — they usually appear when you frown or knit your eyebrows together. However, the consistent overuse of facial muscles while frowning deepens the frown lines, making them stay etched on your face even at rest. This makes you look old, grumpy, or tired. Dysport, Botox and Xeomin have FDA approval to reduce the prominence of these frown lines.
What are Facial Fillers?
Facial fillers are cosmetic tools which are injected into the skin and are typically made from hyaluronic acid and calcium hydroxyl apatite. These products assist in rejuvenating skin, reducing wrinkles, raising scar depressions, enhancing lips, and replacing volume loss in soft tissues of the face.
We start to lose volume in our face beginning in our 20’s due to the loss of hyaluronic acid, collagen, and elastin. The gradual aging process strips the skin’s hyaluronic acid reserves, leading to sagging and hollowness of the facial features as well as dry skin. Restylane is a family of hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers that reverse the signs of aging and enhance your existing facial features. When placed in the lips, it can help to give a more plump and hydrated look. The goal of facial rejuvenation should be to start as soon as the signs of volume loss appear so that the natural facial features can be preserved.
