Anti-Wrinkle Injection Options in Pyrmont

Anti Wrinkle Injections   ·   July 29, 2010

As both men and women age, there are many things they can do to keep themselves healthy and feeling young, but one thing no one can escape naturally are wrinkles. Wrinkles are caused from a decreased stickiness of cells in the skin. There probably will never be a cure to keep wrinkles from forming, but there are preventative measures people can take. Being in the sun without protection and having to squint, can increase the time it takes to create crow’s feet around a pair of eyes. Throwing on a hat or a pair of sunglasses can easily prevent these things from happening sooner, but cannot prevent it entirely.

Good thing people are living in a world of technology and constant improvement. In the past two decades, hundreds of topical creams, temporary and permanent solutions and even surgical solutions have been used and have been successful. Anti-wrinkle injection methods have become popular in this day and age because they can be found almost anywhere and are somewhat inexpensive (in relation to surgical procedures which can cost thousands). In particular, the past three years have introduces a large number of dermal and anti-wrinkle fillers that have been tried and trusted by users and physicians everywhere.

These Wrinkle injections require less attention and maintenance that other types of anti-wrinkle options. Botox and collagen injections are usually administered to different wrinkled parts of the face, neck and possibly body. These injections can help smooth the skin and minimize the appearance of wrinkles. The procedures are typically painless, aside from a needle prick. Restylane is another type of injection and a fairly new product on the market in comparison to Botox. Both are administered in the same fashion and can have the same side effects. Other types of injections can include Perlane (similar to Restylane, but has a higher concentration of hyaluronic acid), CosmoPlast (made with natural collagen), Radience/Radiesse (made from natural material found in bones and teeth), Sculptura (made with polylactic acid and is a hydrogel filler) and Juvederm (hyaluronic filler, known to be long-lasting.

People who use these options should not always expect overnight results. An injection may start showing signs of improvement when the injection is given and may not start until after a few days. Given that one of these injections was administered properly, a peak look will be given between two and three weeks. Also, if the proper dosages are given to a patient, the treatment should last for up to at least four months. Each person has a different skin structure and will react differently to the different types of injections. It is important to consult with a physician to go over all of the risks, side effects and other types of treatments to try first. Once an injection is administered to a person, they are susceptible to infection (rare, but can happen with any sort of injection), and intense redness. A bad headache can also be one of the side effects. If the procedures are done correctly, a person will be left with smoother skin and will look younger and better for months.
