All women are worried about the approaching old age, because you don’t want to part with youth for as long as possible. Withering of the skin is accompanied by the appearance of wrinkles in different areas on the face – around the mouth and eyes, on the forehead. Botulinum toxin injections are the most popular method of combating the signs of aging. But do not think that this is the only way out, because the use of other cosmetics used by cosmetologists for this purpose is no less effective. In view of this, it is important to come to an understanding of the differences between botulinum toxin injections and dermal fillers.
How does botulinum toxin work?
Botulinum toxin – is a neurotoxin. The name "Botox" is the most widely recognized, and there are other FDA-approved botulinum toxin preparations, namely Dysport and Xeomin. This injectable is used to treat "active" wrinkles, i.e. those that have only recently formed.
The cosmetologist injects the drug into areas of the face that are associated with the formation of wrinkles. For example, the muscles that allow us to frown can cause wrinkles around the eyes. A beautician can use botulinum toxin to correct facial expressions. This will not result in the loss of the ability to express emotions, as the essence of the procedure is to make subtle adjustments that will stop the formation of wrinkles without changing the natural look of the face.
How do fillers work on muscles
Dermal fillers, on the other hand, are used to treat deep wrinkles. There are many options for soft tissue fillers, and only a cosmetologist will help you decide on the choice. In addition to smoothing wrinkles, fillers are used to change the appearance of soft tissues – volumization (replenishment of volumes).
How to make the right choice
Mistakenly it is believed that botulinum toxin can solve any of your problems. "Many patients often come to me and say that they are not happy with certain facial features and would like to have botulinum toxin injections in this particular area," – a certified cosmetologist shares his experience. – "They are not aware that this drug needs to be injected only in certain places." Therefore, the consultation of a certified specialist who will take into account all your wishes and features is mandatory before any cosmetic procedure.
