Types of Facial Rejuvenation Treatments
The two most common treatment types can have a major impact on the aesthetic outcome of smile makeovers and comprehensive restorations. Botox: The neurotoxin produced of the clostridium botulinum bacteria is used to cosmetically soften lines and wrinkles of the face and neck. Dermal fillers: Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers are used to restore volume that is lost through the natural aging process.
Facial Rejuvenation Process
Typically, a cream with local anesthetic is administered, and an injection to the neuromuscular tissue is delivered with an ultra-thin needle in small doses. The muscles are allowed to relax, permitting the wrinkles to smooth out. It takes 24-72 hours for botulinum toxin to take effect. In very rare circumstances, it may take as long as 5 days for the full effect of botulinum toxin to be observed. Botulinum toxin should not be used in pregnant or lactating women, or by people who have had a previous allergic reaction to the drug or any of its ingredients.
Reasons for Considering a Facial Rejuvenation Treatment
