Quick Solutions for Facial Lines and Wrinkles
Posted on April 29, 2013 | by Boston Plastic SurgeryAre you worried about the appearance of wrinkles, but strapped for time? Injectable treatments like Botox and Juvéderm provide quick solutions for wrinkles and deep lines on your face.
Understanding the Different Injectables
Botox® is the most popular brand name of botulinum toxin type A. Other names for this treatment include Dysport and Xeomin. In 2012, these treatments were the most popular non-surgical cosmetic procedures in America.
Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin are neuromuscular toxins that are used to treat newly formed facial lines. By injecting the solution into the tiny muscles that contract and cause formation of lines, the muscles will relax and wrinkles gradually flatten out.
Injectable fillers like Juvéderm or Restylane are used to treat deeper wrinkles and facial lines. They can also be used for adding volume to facial features like your lips. Other popular dermal fillers include Radiesse, Sculptra, and the new Belotero. Discover which injectable filler is right for you during a consultation.
Injectables Provide Quick Solutions for Busy People
The less invasive procedures like Botox or soft tissue fillers can be performed in under an hour. This is a big difference when compared to the time required to perform the surgical solutions for facial lines like face lifts or brow lifts.
The busiest people looking for a quick solution to reduce the wrinkles around their mouth, forehead, and eyes would be able to schedule a session over their lunch break.
If time isn’t an issue, and you want long lasting solution to the signs of aging, then a face lift or a brow lift may be your ideal choice.
