Those who wish for a little hand in turning back time will often find themselves confused as to which is the better option: Wrinkle removing treatment or fillers. Here at Fiona Clossick, we offer both, so we thought we’d produce this handy guide to help you out.
What is Wrinkle Removing Treatment?
Wrinkle removing treatment, or botulinum toxin, is a naturally occurring protein that can be used to temporarily relax the facial muscles that give away symptoms of ageing, such as lines and wrinkles. The most tested product on the market, wrinkle removing treatment has been extensively studied, is safe to use, and is fully certified for cosmetic application.
What Does the Treatment Entail?
Wrinkle removing treatment is fairly non-invasive, and the only real side-effects are slight bruising and swelling immediately after treatment. No long-term side-effects have been recorded and recipients can resume their usual activities immediately post-treatment.
Who Does Wrinkle Removing Treatment Suit?
Wrinkle removing treatment is suited to a wide range of patients and is most commonly used to rejuvenate the skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Ideal for treating moderate to severe crow’s feet and glabellar lines (the frown lines between the eyebrows), it provides a short-term reversal of the effects of ageing.
Fillers are Wrinkle removing treatment’s more expensive and long-lasting cousin. They treat wrinkles by injecting hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring product that we’re born with. As we get older, the amount of hyaluronic acid in our bodies decreases, allowing signs of ageing to develop. This makes the skin dryer, thinner, and more fragile. Fillers help to rejuvenate it.
What Does the Treatment Entail?
Fillers take around 30 to 45 minutes to inject, and last for 18 to 24 months. As with any injectable treatment, they can cause slight bruising and swelling, but this usually disappears within a day and can be easily concealed with make-up.
Who do Fillers Suit?
Like Wrinkle removing treatment, fillers are popular with a wide range of patients and are primarily chosen to rejuvenate skin and temporarily reverse the effects of ageing. They can also be used to add structure and in the case of those who have lost their natural plumpness, such as ladies with an especially active lifestyle, they can restore volume to create a fresher-faced appearance.
