Injectable treatments are now in demand to cure wrinkles. Numerous over-the-counter products are already part of people’s skincare treatment to maintain a young-looking glow. However, skincare boutiques offer treatments for long-lasting options – Botox and derma fillers.

Botox

For dynamic wrinkles, Botox is advisable to treat them. These wrinkles are natural because of aging – it occurs around the eyes and mouth and between the eyebrows.

Botox injection relaxes the muscles near the wrinkles because not allowing muscles to moves reduces the appearance of dynamic wrinkles.

Botox is a muscle relaxer made from bacteria. It can treat neurological disorders, migraines, and other medical conditions. Moreover, Botox is not for fine lines caused by collagen breakdown.

These are the possible side effects when injected with Botox:

  • bruises at the site of injection
  • eye redness and irritation
  • headaches
  • drooping eyelids

It is advisable to apply eye drops before receiving Botox injections to reduce the chances of side effects. Avoid taking any blood thinners few days before the treatment to prevent getting bruises.

Lastly, Botox is not highly advisable to pregnant women, people with weak facial muscles, currently having skin issues like thick skin or deep scars, and multiple sclerosis or other types of neuromuscular disease.

Derma Fillers

The same with Botox, derma fillers also treat wrinkles on the face. It treats wrinkles on smile lines and can plump up the lips or cheeks. Derma fillers are sometimes used for hand treatments and reduce the appearance of scars. However, derma fillers are not for plumping up other body areas such as the breasts.

Unlike Botox, derma fillers have more risks and side effects. It takes two weeks for moderate side effects to go away. Some side effects when you undergo derma fillers are bruising, redness, infection, itching, numbness, and allergic reaction.

Derma fillers are not recommendable for smokers. It would be better to do allergy testing before getting dermal filler if your body can tolerate undergoing the treatment.

If you are not comfortable with Botox and derma filler treatment, you may undergo other kinds of cosmetic skin treatment to remove your wrinkles. Intense pulse light (IPL) is similar to laser therapy that reduces the sign of aging.
