As we age, the natural collagen and elastin in the skin lessens, and the skin becomes dryer, thinner and less able to fix itself. Over time, the natural hyaluronic acid in the skin reduces in quantity, leaving the skin less well supported, and so lines and wrinkles develop.
Botox is used to temporarily relax facial muscles that cause lines and wrinkles, and is primarily used for skin rejuvenation and the reduction of fine lines and wrinkles. Botox can be used to improve the look of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows, as well as the side of the eyes to improve the look of moderate to severe crow’s feet lines.
Another option for treating facial lines and wrinkles is facial fillers – the treatment of wrinkles with dermal fillers will usually involve injecting this naturally occurring hyaluronic acid through a tiny needle. The discomfort is minimal as the treatment does not take long to perform. The aesthetic outcomes of treatments with dermal filler are seen immediately after the treatment. Treating wrinkles with dermal filler is fast, leaving no scars. By lifting and smoothing targeted folds and wrinkles by adding subtle volume, dermal fillers can make a difference to a person’s appearance, giving them a fresher look.
