As a result, trouble spots nearly disappear. Hyaluronic Acid – an incredible compound that is present in many different parts of the human body. From the fluid formed around the eyes and that found in our joints to the skin tissues – this substance plays a huge role in maintaining the organism well-hydrated and youthful. It was first released as an alternative to collagen but today it is the leading skin filler option in the world and it has an FDA approval for a long list of applications. The Hyaluronic Acid featured in anti-wrinkle fillers is not directly extracted from the human body. It has been derived through a process of bio-fermentation and because of that it is free of animal-based ingredients. At the same time, these advanced skin rejuvenation injectable gels are 100% biocompatible and biodegradable. hyaluronic acid Filler side effects are rare and the results last from several months to over a year or two. Some research shows that repeated injections may help stimulate the body's own natural production of collagen. That will help reduce the number of lines and wrinkles. There is also some evidence that less filler is needed over time to achieve the same look. HA promotes collagen deposition by increasing pro-collagen and fibroblasts and therefore skin elasticity. Also improves voluminization and surface morphology The treatment is fast, easy and well tolerated. Procedure Comfort levels vary from person to person. Local Anesthesia is usually provided. Depending on the size of the treatment area, treatment may take between 30-45 minutes. Some experience slight swelling, tingling or tenderness to the touch, but these temporary in nature.

This typically resolves in 2 to 6 weeks of treatment. o Transient pain, paresthesia and/or tingling may be experienced. This typically resolves in 2 days of treatment.

This botulinum toxin is subjected to purification and a few doses are applied in particular areas to get desired results in cosmetic such as to temporarily lessen the appearance of facial wrinkles and other therapeutical purposes as cervical dystonia, muscle spasm, Achilles's tendonitis, uncontrolled eye blinking and Chronic Migraine treatment. Botox for Migraine Botox injections for migraines cause an inhibition of the pain caused due to a chronic migraine through the reduction of the pain pathways where the nerve cells in the trigeminovascular system are involved. The trigeminovascular system includes a sensory pathway that plays a vital role during a headache arising out of a migraine attack. Details Xeomin (incobotulinumtoxinA) is an injectable neurotoxin that temporarily relaxes muscles to reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles created by dynamic facial movements, such as smiling, frowning, or raising your eyebrows. It’s FDA-approved to treat moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines), but it’s commonly used off-label to treat everything from gummy smiles to boxy jawlines. Xeomin is also FDA-approved to treat neck pain caused by cervical dystonia, eye spasms known as blepharospasm, and upper limb spasticity. Xeomin injections require no downtime. Along with smoothing existing lines, it can help prevent new wrinkles from forming. It’s common for young people to get neurotoxin injections as a preventive measure, to keep lines from digging in or deepening. Xeomin can be used to shrink certain large muscles, like the masseters (chewing muscles), over time. The effect is both functional—a reduction in painful clenching and grinding—and cosmetic. It’s safe for all skin types and tones. Effects are temporary, so if the results are not optimal, the client is not stuck with them—they’ll gradually disappear over about four months. The most common side effects of Xeomin—injection site bruising, swelling, soreness, and short-term headaches—are minor and transient. Botox or xeomin is a proven and popular cosmetic treatment that is used to treat fine lines and wrinkles, primarily on and around the face. Botox® is the trade name of Botulinum Toxin Type A. This is a purified toxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum and is used in very small doses to treat the signs of aging via injections into the skin. Common treatment areas for Botox or Xeomin include Fine Lines & Facial Wrinkles around the glabella and forehead, Wrinkles around the Eyes, often known as ‘Crows Feet’, Non-Surgical Jaw Reduction, Visible Platysmal Neck Bands, Lip Fullness and DAO’s for correcting Frown Lines around the Mouth area Fine Lines and Wrinkles One of the most common treatment areas for Botox or Xeomin is to target fine lines and wrinkles in the face, such as in the forehead or between the eyebrows. These lines and wrinkles are caused by daily repeated contractions and movement of the facial muscles and get deeper as a person ages. Botox or Xeomin is injected into the problem area and works by freezing the associated muscles and stopping them from contracting, which reduces the ability of the skin to visibly wrinkle. Wrinkles around the Eyes “Crow’s Feet” “Crow’s Feet” is the name given to the dynamic lines which show at the side of the eyes when frowning, squinting or smiling. Over time as a person ages the elastin and collagen in the skin loses its elasticity and this causes wrinkles. The good news is that Crow’s Feet can be treated with Botox or Xeomin – which in fact is currently the only treatment option that has been approved by the FDA as a temporary solution for this area. Botox or Xeomin will reduce these wrinkles around the eyes for up to 4 months. Non-Surgical Jaw Reduction: One area that some individuals are concerned about is a square or rounded jaw line. Both men and women occasionally look for a way to treat this area and to make their face look a little more V-shaped. The good news is that Botox can be used to make this problem area appear slimmer and although the effects are temporary it does offer a fantastic alternative for those who wish to avoid a surgical procedure. This procedure is known as Botox square jaw reduction or “Botox Masseter reduction” and it targets the masseter muscles on the side of the jawline. Visible Neck Bands Some sagging, wrinkles and lines can appear with aging and the appearance of neck bands, cords, or the vertical lines that appear in the aging neck. In these instances, Botox or Xeomin is a great treatment for reducing their appearance. Many other areas are treated with Botox or Xeomin to reduce wrinkles.
