Remove lines and wrinkles on the face, hands and cleavage! One day you looked in the mirror and studied those lines that furrowed your brow, and you wondered: “Where did they come from?”.
Is it just aging? Too much sun? Too much stress? In general, how skin ages and wrinkles is a complex process. It isn't just about cellular changes, collagen depletion, hormone loss, damage caused by free radicals, and so on; it's a combination of many factors.
The Anatomy of the Wrinkle The lines that appear between your brows (glabellar lines) actually result from muscle movement and the passage of time. You may have heard the expression "wearing your emotions on your sleeve," but in reality you wear them on your face. If you're angry or annoyed, for example, you knit your brows together. Underneath your skin, your facial muscles contract, cause a pleating of the overlying skin, and then, as anyone can see, you're frowning.
After years of crinkling and wrinkling, those glabellar lines start to linger longer and can become more pronounced. For women whose faces tend to be more animated than men's, and whose skin is typically more delicate, these lines may appear exaggerated and more permanent.
Fortunately, there is a way to reduce moderate to severe glabellar lines. Treatment with BOTOX® Cosmetic can visibly smooth and soften moderate to severe frown lines between your brows. An improvement can be seen within days and may last up to 3-6 months, although results may vary. In clinical trials, nearly 90% of men and women surveyed rated the improvement in the appearance of frown lines between their brows as moderate to better one month after treatment.
So what should it be - Botox or Restylane Fillers? Botox is helpful for treating dynamic wrinkles. This means wrinkles that are caused due to movements of the underlying muscle. Botox acts by calming the underlying muscle activity and thus preventing the formation.
Fillers like Restylane are helpful in static wrinkles. This means wrinkles that are there on the face especially around the mouth (smoker’s lines) and nasolabia folds, (The nasolabial fold is the crease that runs from the nose to the corner of the mouth. The fillers thus plumps up a wrinkle and provides a form of scaffolding.
In summary; Botox works best for glabellar lines (frown lines) forehead wrinkles, crow’s feet, bunny lines (transverse lines on the nose) whilst fillers work best for the nasolabial folds, lines around the mouth and sometimes in conjunction with Botox for very deep frown lines.
A natural beauty lift The resilience and youthful contours of your skin – its ability to counter the effects of time, wind and weather – owes much to hyaluronic acid. It exists in all living things and its most important function is to bear and bind water.
In Restylane, stabilised, hyaluronic acid, in the form of a crystal-clear gel, smoothes wrinkles and folds, or gives contour. A natural beauty lift!
Impressions of beauty change over time, as do our faces as we age. Yet each of us has good natural lines that can be emphasised and improved. Restylane gives you a long-lasting and natural enhancement.
Gentle and safe from Sweden Restylane has a long record of success with many satisfied users. More than 1,500,000 treatments have been carried out in more than 60 countries around the world. The products are made under stringent control and come to you from a nation known for health, nature and beauty. Each Restylane product is based on the same hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is one of very few substances that is identical in all species and tissue types and therefore it can be used in many medical applications. In Restylane it restores youthful resilience to your skin by simply adding to your natural supply.
After injection, the gel binds water and generally remains for many months. Non-stabilised hyaluronic acid products, by comparison, last only a few days or several weeks at most. As a totally non-animal product, there is no risk of transmitting disease or eliciting allergic reaction in patients who are sensitive to common foods, such as beef, chicken and eggs. The Tissue Tailored Concept
Each of the three choices in the Restylane product range are specially designed for different purposes and effects, from eliminating tiny lines to enhancing facial contours and sculpting lips to perfection. The different products are:
