Nowadays, there are a huge number of anti-aging
procedures that can significantly improve the condition of the skin. Among
anti-aging methods are the most effective – injection techniques.
Each injection technique uses a specific treatment.
a drug. For example, in beauty injections (fillers) are used
different fillers: hyaluronic acid, Botox,
potassium hydroxyapatite, polylactic acid. Let’s focus on
hyaluronic acid and botox, since these are the two main drugs
used in fillers. And also we learn that Botox is better or

What is botox or poison for good
On the one hand, Botox is a very popular term, but on the other hand
On the other hand, few people know what it is. So what is
Botox and why is it called poison for the good?
Botox, or botulinum toxin preparations, is a Type A neurotoxin and
some other proteins that are produced during vital activity
bacteria Clostridium botulinum. Preparations based on
botulinum toxin are a weakened botulinum toxin.
The botulinum toxin bacterium causes a terrible disease called
botulism. When ingested, botulinum toxins
can block the work of muscles, causing their paralysis. Botulin able
inhibit impulses from the nerve to the facial muscle, which
contributes to the formation of wrinkles.
It is necessary to take into account the fact that Botox by itself does not eliminate
wrinkles, it only temporarily relaxes the muscles, not allowing them
to shrink. It is known that wrinkles created by facial expressions can
give the human face a large range of emotions. Man can’t
not show emotions, they are components of our lives, but, nevertheless
however, it is emotions along with ultraviolet and age that is
One of the causes of facial wrinkles.
And it turns out a certain paradox: rejoicing or admiring, man
adds another portion of facial wrinkles. How to be with this
dilemma? It is perfectly resolved by Botox. After the procedure
based on Botox, the skin becomes smooth, smooth, wrinkles
smoothed on the eyes. As for the raw mimic
muscles, they are reduced in a normal rhythm, without affecting the usual
facial expression.
How is the botulinum therapy procedure? With a fine needle
the drug is administered to the places where dynamic
(mimic) wrinkles. Most often this is the area of the forehead and the area around
eye. Botulinum toxin is used mainly in the upper part
faces. To fill the wrinkles in the nasolabial folds use
contour plastics based on hyaluronic acid.
Sometimes a cosmetologist works with two drugs at once: Botox
and hyaluronate. In this case, the effect exceeds all expectations. With
Botulinum therapy is administered a microscopic amount of the drug,
exactly as much as needed to smooth out wrinkles. By this
Because of this, the pain during injection is minimized, and the injection itself is not
leave marks on the skin. In many developed countries, Botox
called “lunch” injections. That is, their execution is so easy and
it is safe that it is carried out at lunchtime, after which patients
return to the normal life schedule.
The effect of botulinum toxin persists for six months, and
neurotoxin after this time is completely derived from
organism.
On average, botulinum therapy is carried out three times a year.
It is noteworthy that after treatment with Botox, the patient
gets rid of the habit of actively using facial expressions that has a number
positive action. Facial muscles get used to being in
relaxed state that helps to smooth wrinkles and
prevents the formation of new.
Botulinum therapy – simple, effective and absolutely safe.
procedure. Around the Botox soars a halo of myths about its harmfulness
and hazards that do not have any serious
grounds. Yes, botulinum toxin is poisonous, but toxic
reactions in patients have never happened since
Botox as a therapeutic drug, and this is about forty years.
It’s all about the dose.
In order to cause a toxic reaction, the body must
enter doses, thousands of times higher than cosmetic. Not worth it
afraid of botulinum toxin, but it is worth remembering the words of Paracelsus that “all
there is poison and nothing is poisonous, and only the dose makes it
cure. ”Only amateurishness can damage the patient and
lack of professionalism of a cosmetologist. It is worth being afraid where
more.
Advantages and disadvantages of Botox
There are no perfect things in our world. All procedures and
drugs have their own little flaws. Let’s clarify again
Advantages and disadvantages of Botox.
Botox has several advantages:
- quick effect;
- absolute safety of treatment;
- ease of execution of the procedure.
Botox injections could be a universal remedy in treating
age-related skin defects, if not the following disadvantages:
- Botox smoothes only mimic wrinkles, with dehydration
skin and facial contour modeling it does not cope; - temporary effect, unfortunately, the procedure of botulinum therapy
should be carried out regularly for a certain time.
As you can see, Botox-based injections have their own
disadvantages and their merits. For this reason, resort to treatment
Botox is decided by the patient himself, not forgetting the recommendations
cosmetologist.
Hyaluronic acid – the elixir of eternal youth
Nowadays, the term “hyaluronic acid” is constantly on the ear,
but few know what he is. Hyaluronic acid
substance that is synthesized by our body. In our
In the body, all cells are able to synthesize hyaluronic acid,
but most of all it is produced in the skin by specific
fibroblast cells.
Connective tissue fibroblasts, which in addition to
hyaluronic acid promote the synthesis of collagen and elastin.
If we imagine our skin as a mattress, then the fibers
collagen and elastin are springs, and hyaluronic acid is
foam rubber that fills the space between them. Hyaluronic
acid has a remarkable property – to bind and hold
water It is known that one molecule of hyaluronate binds 500 molecules
water.
One also has a so-called pamper effect –
ability not to give away moisture from the skin.
Hyaluronic acid is part of the extracellular matrix,
which fills the space between the cells and provides them
livelihoods. Hyaluronate provides transport
oxygen, nutrients, lymphocytes and other blood molecules to
the site of tissue damage and foci of inflammation. Thanks
hyaluronic acid skin at a young age looks hydrated,
elastic and elastic.
Unfortunately, over the years the level of hyaluronic acid in our
body is dramatically reduced, and aging skin is not capable
synthesize it in the same volume. As a result, metamorphosis,
that occur with the skin, not at all pleasing to the eye. She becomes
dry, loose, loses its elasticity and firmness, on it with ease
wrinkles are formed. For this reason, the use of exogenous
(from the outside) hyaluronic acid becomes justified and reasonable.
Hyaluronic acid is recognized worldwide as the most effective
remedy in the fight against signs of aging skin wilting. What kind
problems of mature skin eliminates hyaluronic acid? With certainty
can say that almost everything. And not only mature. Hyaluronic
acid perfectly moisturizes the skin at the very beginning of moisture deficiency,
when skin is young enough, but for some reason it happens
her dehydration.
As we managed to learn from the above, hyaluronic acid
plays a huge and irreplaceable role in the body. Is becoming
understand why hyaluronic acid is called an elixir
youth
For hyaluronic acid to promote processes
skin revitalization, you must adhere to several rules.
First, hyaluronic acid must be unstabilized,
that is, natural.
Secondly, the hyaluronate chain length plays an important role (
molecular weight). Hyaluronate weighing over 1 million daltons
will not be able to penetrate the skin. For this reason, the molecular weight
hyaluron should not exceed this figure.
Thirdly, the concentration of hyaluronic acid in the preparation should
exceed 15 mg per milliliter.
And fourth, hyaluronate-based drugs should be
viscous consistency.
If these principles are not followed, then fibroblasts do not
are activated and the rejuvenation process does not start.
In addition, hyaluronic acid is stabilized.
(chemically modified) and unstabilized (native,
natural). Each type of hyaluronate has its own
application. For example, stabilized hyaluronic acid
used in contouring to fill wrinkles, because
This option of hyaluron keeps volume well. Stabilized
hyaluronic acid is retained in the skin a certain amount
time and after the expiration without a trace disintegrates.
Unstabilized hyaluronic acid is used in
biorevitalisation when tissues are deficient in moisture and need
in prolonged hydration. It quickly breaks down in the body,
Isobmenna start the process of tissue regeneration.
Advantages and disadvantages of hyaluronic acid
From the above, we learned what hyaluronic is
acid, what it is and what role it plays in the body. Let’s more
once we clarify its advantages and disadvantages. Hyaluronic acid
possesses remarkable qualities:
- the ability to bind water, moisturize and nourish tissues;
- fill the extracellular space, giving the skin elasticity and
elasticity; - synthesized in the body, promote collagen synthesis and
elastin; - universality of the molecule regardless of its origin
(natural or chemically modified) hyaluronic acid
successfully performs the same function.
All these qualities – a pledge of young, healthy and beautiful skin.
The lack of hyaluronic acid is one – individual
intolerance to drugs based on it. Unfortunately, though
rarely, but it still happens. In this case, patients are selected
other injection methods for the correction of skin defects.
Botox or hyaluronic acid
Having understood the concepts in detail, we can say that, like Botox,
so and hyaluronic acid are essential components
injecting techniques. For this reason, you can’t say which is better, but
which is worse. These are two important denominators of the same equation, and between them.
you can only put an equal sign. Botox and hyaluronic acid
used in various injection techniques and used to
correction of certain skin defects. Botox is used in
fillers for the correction of dynamic (facial) wrinkles upper
parts of the face: in the forehead and in the eyes. It perfectly removes
wrinkles of “anger” on the forehead and crow’s feet around the eyes.
But Botox, unfortunately, is not effective in other areas of the skin.
He is not able to cope with wrinkles on his cheeks, flabby skin,
nasolabial folds, and improve facial contour. For filling
nasolabial wrinkles, dips on the cheeks using contour plastics
based on hyaluronic gel. Hyaluronic gel filling all
folds, wrinkles and wrinkles makes the face elastic, and skin relief
smooth and elastic. And to improve the shape of the face is very effective
reinforcement method using mesothreads (suture material). AT
modern cosmetology there is an individual solution of each
problems and long gone into oblivion the same type of solution to all problems.
The only problem today is –
uninformativeness of people. It is very difficult to understand modern
flow of information, and incomprehensible terms even more enter into
delusion As a result, many women refuse
cosmetic procedures and thereby miss their chance to return
youth and beauty.
