Botox and Injectable Fillers
Botox is purified protein good for moderate
to deep wrinkles.
Botox.
Fillers are natural tissues removed from
your own body as fat or clamed grafts and artificial materials as
Restylane,
Juvederm,
Collagen and Radiesse
(hydroxyl apatite). These fillers are done separate or in conjunction
with facial surgeries.
The visible signs of facial aging occur over time as result of sun exposure,
heredity and life style. One of the earliest signs of aging is a loss of
facial fullness and the development of wrinkles. Softening of these facial
lines and the restoration of volume and fullness in the face often can be
achieved non-surgically with injectable fillers. What they can:
- Plump thin lips
- Enhance shallow contours
- Soften facial creases and wrinkles
- Improve the appearance of recessed scars
Types of Fillers:
Restylane and Perlane
are cosmetic dermal fillers that
replace lost volume and restore youthful contours to the skin to
smooth away moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such
as the lines from your nose to the corners of your mouth (nasolabial
folds).
Restylane and Perlane® are made
of hyaluronic acid. In the human body, natural hyaluronic acid
provides volume and fullness to the skin. The hyaluronic acid in
Restylane and Perlane has been modified slightly to last longer
than the body's hyaluronic acid. The hyaluronic acid in
Restylane and Perlane is produced by a biotechnical process.
Restylane and Perlane are hydrophilic or "water loving." The
hydrophilic nature of these hyaluronic acid molecules and their
three dimensional structure allows them to bind many times their
own weight in water. As hyaluronic acid begins to degrade, each
molecule binds to more water which helps to maintain its volume
for about six months.
Restylane and Perlane contain no animal proteins. This limits
any risk of animal-based disease transmission or allergic
reactions. Restylane and Perlane contain trace amounts of
gram-positive bacterial proteins and are contraindicated for
patients with a history of allergies to such material. No
allergy testing is required before use. They last up to 6
months. To learn more visit
