BOTULINUM TOXIN THERAPY FOR WRINKLE CORRECTION

What is Botulinum Toxin?

Botulinum toxin is a bacterium that blocks the release of acetylcholine, the substance responsible for transmitting electrical impulses that elicit muscle contraction. In medicine, botulinum toxin is injected directly into hyperactive muscles. It has been safely and effectively used for treatment of strabismus (cross-eye) and blepharonspasm (lid spasm) since the early eighties.

How does botulinum toxin work?

Hyperactivity of the facial expression muscles often results in the development of deep frown lines, forehead lines and/or crow’s feet. Injecting botulinum toxin into the affected area temporarily paralyzes the underlying muscles responsible for wrinkling, giving the face a more relaxed and pleasant appearance. The wrinkles become smoother or disappear altogether.

When and how long does botulinum toxin work?

The initial effects of treatment become visible within 48 to 72 hours. The maximum effect is reached in about 1 to 2 weeks. Your facial expression will become more relaxed but by no means mask-like. The overall result is very natural. The effect of treatment generally lasts for 4 to 6 months. Re-treatment is then required.

Potential adverse effects (side effects)

Botulinum toxin injection is generally a safe and effective treatment method. Nevertheless, certain side effects can occur but, like the intended treatment effects, they are mostly reversible. At this appointment, you will be informed about the potential side effects of botulinum toxin therapy, contraindications to therapy, and potential drug interactions.

Potential side effects

  • bruising or swelling at the injection site
  • slight feeling of nausea
  • tiredness, pain in the arms and legs
  • temporary drooping of the eyebrow or upper eyelid
  • brief visual disturbances
  • dryness of the eyes
  • skin rash
  • itching
  • allergic reactions
  • dry mouth
  • muscle atrophy

Contraindications

  • pregnancy
  • breast-feeding
  • myasthenia gravis
  • Lambert Eaton syndrome
  • blood coagulation disorders

Drug interactions

Drug interactions can occur when botulinum toxin is used concomitantly with other medications. Since these medications can alter the effects of botulinum toxin, you must ensure that your doctor is aware of any current medications you are taking, especially

  • Amino glycoside antibiotics
  • Anaesthetics
  • Muscle relaxants

How wrinkles form

Your skin is constantly under attack. Each day you are exposed to an assault of wind, sun, cold and pollution. In addition, fatigue, emotional changes, hormonal swings and simply the passage of time can take their toll on your skin. These internal and external attacks combine to weaken your skin’s structure and appearance.

The skin’s structure deteriorates at the level of the dermis; the deeper living layer of the skin. When vital components of the dermis such as collagen fibres, elastin and hyaluronic acid become less abundant, the dermis is weakened, causing a noticeable impact on the appearance of the skin.

RESTORE SKIN VOLUME

Hydra Fill is a new FDA-approved dermal (skin) filler made from a highly purified form of hyaluronic acid that mimics the effects of natural hyaluronic acid. When injected just below the surface of the skin, Hylaform adds volume to the skin, smoothing unwanted lines and wrinkles.

Just think, in less than an hour, you can say goodbye to unwanted lines and wrinkles like the smile lines that appear between your nose and mouth, or the marionette lines that turn down the corners of your mouth.

Benefits of Hydrafill®

  • Immediate treatment - no pre-treatment skin test required
  • Immediate results
  • Proven safety - used in international markets for nearly a decade
  • Mild adverse post-treatment responses (such as redness, bruising and swelling)

The role of hyaluronic acid and Hydra Fill

The hyaluronic acid which occurs naturally in your skin, plays an important role in moisturising the skin and helps to give it elasticity and tone. It is the fundamental matter in which the collagen fibres and elastin are immersed. It is a reduction in the natural hyaluronic acid in the skin over time which contributes to skin aging.

Hydra Fill is similar to the hyaluronic acid found in skin. Injected into the dermis, it replenishes the natural hyaluronic acid and hydrates the dermis by imprisoning the water molecules and giving back to the skin its volume and initial form. In this way ageing lines are quickly reduced and the lip border instantly lifted and increased, so helping to preserve and restore a youthful looking skin.

Treatment with Hydra Fill

Hydra Fill is suitable for all skin types. After a personalized consultation and diagnosis, your practitioner will propose the most suitable treatment for you. Hydra Fill is available in three formulations, depending on the types and severity of wrinkles to be treated. The treatment itself takes only 15 to 30 minutes and involves injecting the Hydra Fill into the dermis with a very fine needle, typically only a few millimetres beneath the surface of the skin. The process is usually painless although an aesthetic may sometimes be used for increased comfort. In the hours following injection, small red marks or slight swelling may appear temporarily. The beneficial results are visible immediately and last around 6 to 9 months as the Hydra Fill is absorbed naturally over time. To maintain the benefits simply pop into your practitioner about once or twice a year and pamper yourself with a quick Hydra Fill makeover. Being naturally-based and biocompatible, Hydra Fill is very safe.
