Physical effects of face aging - wrinkles, sagging, pigmentation and sundamaged skin, dark under eye circles and a general loss of elasticity. The speed, with which this process unfolds, depends on the type of genes we have.
Some of us show visible signs of aging even from mid-thirties, while others seem to age gracefully, with no signs until older years. Sun exposure and smoking are the biggest contributes to prematurely age of our skin.
the most popular anti wrinkle treatment procedures in Melbourne and cosmetic surgery alternative.
Injectables is a form of a natural, purified protein, produced by a particular strain of bacteria causes muscle paralysis. Btx was originally designed to treat patients with severe muscle spasms, by paralyzing the muscles and making them unable to contract. Naturally, the wrinkle formation stops and eventually the existing wrinkles disappear.
Btx is fast acting (reduction results are visible in a few days), virtually painless (except for tiny needle prick), quick (procedure takes minutes to complete) and effective (effects last from 3 to 6 months).Other uses include stopping migraine & tension headaches and treating hyperhydrosis - excessive severe sweating.
Prices to pay for Anti-wrinkle Injections - $15 per unit.
Average units per area:
- Frown line 15-20
- Crows10-18,
- Forehead horizontal 6-10
- Nasal “bunny” lines 2-4
For the past 7 years Botox has enjoyed exclusivity. Btx, which has been the only drug approved as a wrinkle relaxing treatment, has competition.
There is a new kid on a block now in Australia now.
Due to restrictions from the TGA, the actual name of the anti-wrinkle injection cannot be used here. We use Btx and Dy instead of specific anti-wrinkle injections types
Dy to treat forehead wrinkle treatments, frown lines and crows feet.
Some initial research shows that Dy:
- Most effective in women than man
- More effective for African-American patients
- Longer-lasting for African-American patients
- Less effective for people 65 and older
The study also confirmed that dosing techniques for Btx and Dy should be adjusted according to a person's facial muscle mass.
Participants with the smallest muscle mass had the largest response (96 percent) by 30 days. That rate dropped as low as 80 percent in people with the highest facial muscle masses. The study is the first to examine safety effects from varying dose levels, which is more common in clinical practice, rather than the standardized dosing used for FDA approval tests list.
It is reported that Btx and Dy injections complications are rare. Especially if the injection is given the way it is intended as described on the label and performed by medical doctors not a nurse in a day spa
The best way to avoid problems whether it is with Btx or Dy is to make sure the injector cosmetic medical doctor has significant experience.
