Anti wrinkle injections are becoming increasingly available for people who want to wipe a few years from their face. Injections come in different varieties and use different methods to remove wrinkles. These methods range from using toxins to paralyze face nerves to using gels and filler acids to “fill in” the wrinkles. While none of these injections are miracle fixes, and some of them have side effects, many happy customers return to their doctors for repeat injections.
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.
If you’re looking into anti wrinkle fillers, Restylane is most similar to Botox. Originally used in lip augmentation, Restylane is fast becoming the go-to injection for wrinkle removal. Restylane hyaluronic acid filler is effective in removing crow’s feet, laugh lines and frown lines. It is also used to fill in the deep hollows beneath the eye. The Restylane is injected beneath the wrinkles and lines in your skin and it may take 2 – 3 days to recover. Restylane injects can last from 6 – 12 months.
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.
Side effects of wrinkle injections are generally minor. Patients report temporary redness, pain during injection, and swelling and bruising at the injection site. The more serious side effects include immune system reactions that result in facial lumps called granulomas. Granulomas are difficult for physicians to treat. Restylane and Juvederm should not be used by people with allergies, as the main component in both is derived from a substance found in animal muscles. People with a history of anaphylaxis should not use anti wrinkle fillers.
