A- Nonsurgical:
1- Botulinum toxin
Botulinum toxin (commonly known as Botox) is a drug that is injected under the skin
to paralyze muscles making the wrinkles disappear. Those small muscles are the
cause for many of the wrinkles on the face. The effect of the drug will last for 2-6
months depending on the type of botox injected and on the patient. Botox can also
be used for medical conditions such as migraines, blepharospasm, and hemifacial
spasm.
2- Fillers
Fillers are substances that can be injected into the tissue to add volume or fill a space
such as under eye hollowness, cheeks, and lips. Their effect lasts for 3-12 months
and some are permanent.
Are botulinum toxins and fillers the same thing? No
Both botulinum toxin and fillers help rejuvenate the face but work in different ways
so they are used in different areas of the face.
Can anyone perform those procedures? No
It is vital to seek an expert opinion whenever you are injecting yourself with
botulinum toxin or fillers. You need someone that knows anatomy, knows all the
products and knows where to inject to give you the best results and avoid the
possible risks of those minor procedures.
Am I a candidate for botulinum toxin or fillers? Probably yes
You probably are but you need to seek an expert opinion for a full evaluation and
discussion about options and expectations.
