Both Botox and hyaluronic acid.

Both Botox and hyaluronic acid are safe for the human body with impressive results.

BOTOX

What exactly is Botox?

Botulinum toxin is a neurotoxic protein produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum and related species. It prevents the release of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine from the nerve endings at the neuromuscular junction, causing relaxed paralysis. Infection with the bacterium causes botulism. The toxin is also used commercially in medicine, cosmetics, and research.

In cosmetic applications, botulinum toxin is considered safe and effective for reducing facial wrinkles, especially in the upper third of the face. Injecting botulinum toxin into the muscles beneath the wrinkles causes these muscles to relax, resulting in the smoothing of the overlying skin. The smoothing of wrinkles is usually visible three days after the treatment and reaches its maximum effect two weeks after the injection. The treated muscles regain their function and generally return to their previous appearance three to four months after the treatment. Muscles can be treated repeatedly to maintain a smooth appearance.

How is the treatment performed?

Using a very fine needle, the doctor injects small amounts of Botox. The injection is made in various areas such as the forehead, between the eyebrows, around the eyes, etc. During the procedure, there is no pain due to the small size of the needle and the minimal amount of product being applied.

What should you be cautious of after the treatment?

Immediately after the treatment, small bumps may appear, which should not be rubbed; they will disappear on their own within half an hour.
The recommendations to extend the duration of the treatment's effects include avoiding heat (hairdryers near the forehead, steam cleaning, sauna, etc.) in contact with the face during the first few days after treatment.
We also advise avoiding voluntary movements of the forehead muscles as much as possible, to prevent premature activation and to "unlearn" the denial and frowning movements that cause wrinkles.
Another tip to prolong the effects of Botox/Dysport is to avoid taking zinc supplements, as they deactivate the medication.
Lastly, there are creams with biomimetic actions that theoretically help to prolong the effects.

Hyaluronic Acid

What is hyaluronic acid?

Hyaluronic acid, also known as hyaluronan, is an anionic, non-sulfated glycosaminoglycan that is abundant in connective, epithelial, and nervous tissues.
Hyaluronic acid is an important component of articular cartilage, where it forms a protective coating around each cell.

What are its effects?

Hyaluronic acid hydrates and lubricates the skin, as it can retain water up to 1,000 times its weight.
An immediate effect is the increase in skin elasticity and protection, as hyaluronic acid stimulates collagen production and fibroblasts.
The results of its use are individualized. They are visible immediately, and the full effect is completed within 15 days to 1 month.
Its duration depends on several factors, such as the amount injected, the anatomical area, muscle size, and gender.
