Say goodbye to those stubborn lines, it’s time to relax those wrinkles…
WHAT IS A WRINKLE RELAXER?
Botulinum toxin type A is an injectable neurotoxin, better known under brand names such as Botox Cosmetic®, Jeuveau®, and Xeomin®. Neurotoxin treatments are the most popular single cosmetic procedure in the U.S. and are mainly used to smooth dynamic wrinkles, or those wrinkles that form as a result of facial movements like frowning, squinting, smiling, and other expressions we tend to make day after day. Treatment works by blocking nerve impulses to the muscles, causing them to relax. As a result, your expressions soften and the dynamic wrinkles are greatly reduced.
WHERE CAN BOTOX-LIKE INJECTABLES BE USED?
Botox-type injectables can help an adult patient of any age improve his or her appearance, not only imparting a more youthful look, but also alleviating an overly concerned look, helping you look better refreshed or even more pleasant. The most commonly treated areas are those where muscle activity influences facial features, such as the following:
Glabellar lines (a.k.a. “elevens” or frown lines)
Wrinkles around the eyes, such as crow’s feet
Forehead creases
A “cobblestoned” appearance to the chin
“Bunny lines” when you scrunch your nose
WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPE OF WRINKLE RELAXERS?
Botulinum toxin type A is an injectable neurotoxin, better known under brand names such as Botox Cosmetic®, Jeuveau®, and Xeomin®.
BOTOX
Repeated muscle contractions from frowning, squinting, or raising eyebrows cause skin to furrow and fold, gradually resulting in the formation of facial lines. BOTOX® Cosmetic works beneath the surface and temporarily reduces the underlying muscle activity that causes moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet and forehead lines in adults – to help them look visibly smoother.
XEOMIN
Xeomin® is made through a unique precision manufacturing process that isolates the therapeutic component of the molecule and removes the accessory proteins that don't play an active role in treatment. Xeomin® is a highly purified neurotoxin. Studies have not been performed to determine whether the presence or absence of accessory proteins has a long-term effect on safety or efficacy.
JEUVEAU
Jeuveau® stops your nerves from telling your facial muscles to flex, temporarily smoothing moderate to severe lines between the brows.
This product is known as “ModernTOX or NEWTOX” as its the latest product approved with the FDA.
