What is Botox? How it is done?
Botox is a brand name of Botulinum Toxin, which is produced by bacteria clostridium botulinum. When injected in muscles, – it temporarily blocks the nerve signals conduction to muscles-thus paralyzing them temporarily. Wrinkles on face are caused by contraction of facial muscles. With use of Botox, dynamic wrinkle lines are softened.
Usually Botox injections are used for frown lines, crow’s feet, forehead lines and burning lines. One session of Botox injections last for 3-4 months. It has been proves that if Botox injections are regularly taken since young-age-it delays the appearance of wrinkles. This therapy is safe and has no long term effects.
What are fillers? Why are they used?
The most commonly used fillers is hyaluronic acid. Our face contours are formed by fat pads. Fat pads are compartments of fats under muscles of face. With aging, face sags due to loss of fat and bone resorption.
These fillers are injected in appropriate areas of face, smoothening nasolabial folds, marionette lines, voluminizing lips. They usually last for 1 year after being injected. This procedure is safe with no long term side effects.
What are the most recent Botox & Filler Fads?
Botox is only getting more popular, and as more people become aware of it, we’re seeing some interesting trends as dermatologists. Along with it, Fillers are also gaining rapid popularity. They are not limited to people.
Botox as a preventative measure
Botox as a prophylactic is one of the fastest-growing developments in the industry. Many young women and men are now getting Botox injections in locations where wrinkles are anticipated to form in the future, rather than only where wrinkles have already formed. This permits the muscles responsible for wrinkle production to relax, resulting in less crease in that area of your face, and hence less wrinkles.
Individuals in their 30s who wish to delay wrinkles are the ideal candidates for preventative Botox therapy. Also, people with dynamic wrinkles get satisfactory results with Botox.
Men and Botox
Men, like women, have anxieties about their age, skin, and looks. Both these procedures are rampantly used by men for appropriate indications.
Men taking Botox, fillers, or even plastic surgery were once frowned upon by society. But, thanks to the advent of social media and the influx of photographs on the internet, these procedures have become very popular among men too.
