Facial creases and lines such as furrows, wrinkles on the forehead, laugh lines, chin dimpling and crow's feet, start to appear as we grow old. It's a process of nature which is unavoidable but can be kept at bay for extended period of time.
In contrast to Restylane, Botox which is a botulinum toxin is considered a drug that usually works by preventing the nerve impulses of the body to reach the underlying muscles. With Botox, muscles are caused to relax. In simpler terms, it temporarily paralyzes the underlying muscles of the skin resulting to the reduction and elimination of wrinkles and other facial lines.
Botox has been used to correct and enhance for so many years now and many are pleased with the results delivered by this particular product. It is considered safe, non-surgical and non-invasive treatment that gives desired results.
Like all created medications, there are also side effects with the use of Botox. The side effects range from mild, transient to moderate. With injections, some of the patients may experience discomfort, swelling and redness at the area where the injection took place. Muscle weakness is also one of the side effects.
Restylane is considered very safe. With its natural components it is a fully biocompatible product. Skin testing for allergy reaction is not required with it's treatments. The most common side effects are temporary swelling, bruising and redness where the injection of the substance took place. Side effects are all temporary; they are bound to gradually disappear in a matter of days.
The achieved results of Restylane treatments can last up to six months or more. There are evidences showing that lasting effects are enhanced and extended when the area is maintained with occasional touch-ups. Multiple sessions are scheduled with intervals by your physician to maintain the desired effect.
