Nearly everyone has heard of Botox to remove wrinkles, but in addition to Botox, there are many other anti wrinkle injections available on the market. These injections tend to use different methods to Botox, which uses toxins to paralyze nerves in the face. Other injections use gel and chemical filler formulas to “fill in” the wrinkles on your face. Society now views anti wrinkle injections as socially acceptable and even though it’s not a miracle fix, wrinkles are fast disappearing from faces.
The most recognizable name in anti wrinkle injections today is Botox. Derived from bacteria and made into a chemical toxin, Botox paralyzes the tiny nerves in your face, preventing the muscle contraction that causes wrinkles. Most users have found that Botox has been most effective on crow’s feet, forehead wrinkles and temple wrinkles. Users have found Botox to be less effective on frown lines. Users should not expect immediate results, as the Botox usually takes 2 – 3 days to fully take effective. Each injection lasts 3 – 4 months.
Restylane is an anti wrinkle injection used in the same capacity as Botox, though it is hyaluronic acid filler instead of a paralytic. Created from a germ and originally used for lip augmentation, Restylane is now a leading name in wrinkle removal. It not only removes crow’s feet, laugh lines and frown lines, but can remove the look of the deep hollows beneath the eyes. Wrinkles and lines are removed by having Restylane injected under them. It takes 2 – 3 days to recover from the injection, and lasts twice as long as Botox.
One of the newest and most popular anti wrinkle injections on the market is Juvederm. Juvederm, an injectable gel, has nearly identical results to Restylane. It removes crow’s feet, laugh lines, frown lines and under eye hollows. It is also frequently used as a lip plumper and can be used to fill in scars on the face. Juvederm is popular with users and physicians. It is a more pleasant experience for the user and physicians find it easiest to use. Juvederm injections can be done every 6 – 9 months.
As with any medical or cosmetic procedure, side effects are possible. Most side effects reported are temporary redness, pain during injection, and swelling and bruising at the injection site. The main component in Restylane and Juvederm is derived from a substance found in animal muscles, and users with allergies are advised to not use them. A serious possible side effect of anti wrinkle injections is an immune system reaction resulting in Facial lumps and bumps, or granulomas. Anti wrinkle fillers should not be used if you have a history of anaphylaxis.
