Beauty injections
Overview
Everyone dreams about beauty and eternal youth. Unfortunately nobody can
be young forever. Fortunately though, modern aesthetic medicine has a lot
to offer to preserve our faces and bodies from looking and feeling old.
RomiTal offers the most up-to-date rejuvenation methods, such as
micro-dermabrasion, photorejuvenation, and “beauty injections” removing
wrinkles – a procedure regularly used by Madonna.
There are two major types of treatments used for anti-wrinkles injections:
based on botulinum toxin and hyaluronic acid.
The most famous anti-wrinkle treatment is
Botox®. It is a highly diluted
botulinum neurotoxin produced by anaerobic bacterium. This toxin is one of
the most poisonous natural substances in the world but in minute doses it is
widely used for medical and cosmetic purposes. It is sold under brand names
Botox® and
Dysport® (Speywood Biopharm, UK).
These treatments block mimic muscles removing the cause of wrinkles formation
on the forehead, crow's feet around the eyes, and frown lines between the
eyebrows. In addition botulinum-based treatments can help reduce headaches
caused by excessive tension of mimic muscles.
Hyaluronic acid treatments fill up hyaluronic acid deficit in skin tissues
and emerging moisture deficiency in the place of wrinkle formation.
Hyaluronic acid injections, such as
Restylane® (Q-med, Sweden),
eliminate deep wrinkles in areas of active mimic muscles movements (e.g.,
nasolabial furrows and deep smile lines where botulinum toxin is quickly
dissolved).
What wrinkles can be eliminated by injection methods?
Injection methods are recommended for elimination of small, medium and
deep wrinkles on face, neck and other parts of the body. As a result
existing wrinkles decrease, small ones even disappear, and new wrinkles
will not appear in place of injection for several months (until the
treatment wears-off).
How fast is the result achieved?
The result is achieved immediately after first injection. The effect
lasts for 6-8 months for hyaluronic acid treatments and for 4-6 months
for botulinum toxin. After that re-injection should be performed, its
effect will last for up to one year. It is necessary to repeat injections
periodically to maintain their effect after resolution (hyaluronic acid)
or end of action (botulinum toxin).
Injection procedure
Injections of anti-wrinkle treatments are performed in our center by
sterile disposable instruments. Several intramuscular or intracutaneous
injections are made that are virtually painless except for lips area
where injections are made under local anesthesia. Injection procedure
duration is up to 30-40 minutes.
