4th Wrinkle treatment with injections. The materials in each

1. Treatment-related mimic wrinkles with botulinum toxin

The drug is botulinum toxin from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum biotechnologically produced under strict security regulations. It smooths wrinkles of the skin through a targeted relaxing the underlying facial muscles.

Application
By continuing, conscious or unconscious tension of facial muscles can cramp your face and look like this wrinkled. Forehead wrinkles, wrinkles around the eyes, nose, lips, chin, neck and décolleté wrinkles can be treated.

Process
The drug botulinum toxin is a “tension-blockers” that controls the transfer of the command for drawing together the nerve to the muscle itself is blocked for about 6 months. The drug is injected into precise, highly diluted doses in the region to be treated. Except for a few very small punctures, which are still to be seen for a few minutes, leaving almost no traces of the treatment.
The effect usually occurs after 3 days, but it may take, in rare cases, nearly two weeks.

Can result in a poisoning, a botulism?
No! With the usual dose for cosmetic use is all over the world has never seen a case of poisoning
been.

2.Nd-YAG laser or IPL (flashlights) therapy
By the laser causes heat in the deeper skin layers, the shrinkage of the connective tissue fibers and a new formation of collagen, also leads to the removal of broken capillaries and pigmentation irregularities. A cooling handpiece or a cooling jet protects the superficial layers of skin from injury.
Both methods are among the methods of soft-Hautverjungung, ie they can be performed without anesthesia because they are painful so little.

When can we expect an effect?
In both methods, repeated treatments at intervals of 4 weeks are required. A visible improvement is expected after the fourth treatment.

3. Wrinkle treatment by injections

Applications
If the skin shows in some places a little deeper wrinkles and folds, it can be stabilized by the injection of certain materials. Injectables are available for wrinkles and to build a sunken facial areas (eg cheeks) are suitable.

Non-permanent filler injections resorbable filler materials are not

These can be (absorbed) by the body is completely degraded. The time it takes for the body to dissolve depends on the materials used.

The injection of materials in detail:

New! Plasma gel (Endogenous Filler)
From the serum of 20 milliliters of their blood like this piercing injection material before any treatment is produced in the laboratory. Since this is how the body fat is a substance of one’s body is, is a treatment hereby absolutely risk free to see. The effect is to be obtained from the use of collagen or hyaluronic acid to the same, but holds up to two years and since the body’s own, can be used in each without hesitation.

The porcine collagen (Evolence ® Breeze)
is the latest “weapon” in the fight against wrinkles. This product is manufactured by using advanced technology. That means more activity in a minimization of any adverse effects. It was a longer degradation time can be achieved. The result is more pronounced. The success occurs immediately after the treatment. This means reducing some pesky post-treatment periods. Thus the financial stakes are lower. A testing as before is no longer necessary. The degradation usually begins only after 12 months.

Polylactic acid (Sculptra ®)
Polylactic acid is an endogenous substance that is produced synthetically for therapeutic purposes. Advantages are its good tolerability and durability of the effect. The substance is particularly suitable for the so-called “nasolabial fold” and to raise the corners of the mouth. Because larger quantities can be safely used in a session, is also a large Auffühlung, eg sunken cheek (for lipoatrophy) is possible. The treatment usually takes place in two sessions at intervals of 1-2 months, then stops at the final effect for about 1.5 years.

Calcium hydroxyapatite (Radiesse ®)
Radiesse is an injectable filler for a durable medium to large folds, and modeling of the face, filling up of Dell contour improvement. Chemically, the body-friendly means of Ca-hydroxyapatite microspheres, the one in the human body is very similar to naturally occurring material. Radiesse is therefore neutral, allergy does not occur in daily practice.
Durable microspheres are slowly – in up to 2 years – reduced. They produce a lasting effect and the formation of its own tissue because the Radiesse treatment allows sustained growth of collagen matrix around the particles. Radiesse has been proven in numerous soft tissue applications safe and biocompatible. It has been used worldwide in over 150,000 applications, and was of excellent tolerability.

Autologous fat
Be prepared in the context of a liposuction (liposuction) gained body fat and can be used for wrinkle injections in the face. It can even be frozen and thawed for later use. It is particularly suitable for large Volumenauffühlung of sunken-looking cheeks. But also medium and large wrinkles can be felt directly with body fat. At the beginning should be made at intervals of 4 weeks, several (3-5) treatments to achieve lasting result

Hyaluronic acid (Restilane ®, Perlane ®, SubQ ®)
The hyaluronic acid, also an endogenous substance on the “intercellular”, is produced using biotechnology. Hyaluronic acid products are under the spraying of fine, medium and lower (SubQ Ò) suitable wrinkles. The substance is very well tolerated and is metabolized by the body very quickly. This has the effect of generally between 2 and 8 months.

Collagen (Zyderm ® I and II and Zyplast ®)
The collagen in the human body is a component of connective tissue. The substance is obtained from closed herds of American cattle and has been proven for more than 20 years of clinical experience. The collagen products are used in fine and medium wrinkles used. The durability of the effect usually lasts 2-5 months. Three weeks before the treatment is one allergy testing
carried out.

How does the wrinkle injections?
Is the treatment painful?
That depends on the individual perception of pain and the region to be treated. For pain-sensitive regions such as e.g. Lips can be numbed the skin prior to treatment (such as at the dentist).

Can you see the effect immediately?
Yes. Immediately after the injection of Auffühlungseffekt is even more pronounced, which is due to the injection-related temporary swelling. This usually degrades within a few hours. Then again it is “socially acceptable”.
