Anti-wrinkle vs Dermal filler
Anti-wrinkle treatments soften fine lines and wrinkles on the face. It relaxes the muscles that cause skin to wrinkle and crease, therefore presenting a more youthful appearance. While anti-wrinkle treatments focus on wrinkles, dermal fillers focus on volume loss.
Dermal fillers are used to add or replenish volume to areas of the face that may have lost it due to ageing. It can also be used to enhance certain areas of the face that detract from the facial structure; it can add volume to popular areas such as the lips and cheeks in these cases.
Common treatment areas for Anti-wrinkle cosmetic injectables includes: Frown lines, Brow, Crow’s Feet, Lip lines, Jowl area, Forehead, “Bunny” lines around nose, Cheek, corners of the mouth. Anti-wrinkle treatments can also help prevent excessive under arm sweating.
How Anti-wrinkle treatments work
Anti-wrinkle cosmetic injectables work by blocking the neurotransmitter Acetylcholine (chemical messenger) responsible for muscular contraction with a purified protein which has over a 20 year clinical safety profile, and has been used to treat more than 20 million cosmetic patients worldwide. This relieves the expression lines at the skin surface, creating a smooth and refreshed appearance.
After a period of time, new axons are formed, which gradually enable transmission of the chemical messenger to the muscle, thereby slowly reactivating muscular contraction.
