Botox and Dermal Fillers
Wrinkles and fine lines are inevitable as part of the aging process. But they make us look tired and far less young. And this can potentially ruin your self-image and esteem, especially when the aging signs occur prematurely. For fast results, Botox and Juvederm treatments are touted as the best treatments in aesthetics today. They can reverse facial aging signs leaving you looking naturally younger.
What is Botox or Juvederm facial fillers?
Botox cosmetic is a purified protein that works by relaxing the muscles that cause wrinkles, fine lines, and folds. It’s great for reversing the aged look brought on by wrinkles and is also used as a preventive measure by younger patients avoiding the emergence of wrinkles, and excessive sweating.
And Juvederm facial fillers are sterile gels made from the naturally occurring hyaluronic acid – a natural sugar found in the skin. It works by filling in the grooves and lines thereby eliminating wrinkles and smoothing out your skin.
Time and Results.
With both treatments, the results are noticeable within a couple of days after your session. Both treatments are capable of providing natural-looking results. Both injectables get safely absorbed by the body over time, so the results are not permanent. You can expect Botox and Juvederm results to last anywhere between 3 months and a year. The highest concentrations provide results that may last a year or longer.
Safety and Side Effects.
Botox and Juvederm score equally in terms of safety. Both are FDA-approved and are the gold standard in safety for injectables and dermal fillers. Any risks faced are usually due to poor application by unqualified personnel. Other risks may be due to sensitive skin that bruise easy and varying degrees of initial puffiness.
