Aging doesn’t always have the most favorable impact on our skin. At some point, we’ll all start to get wrinkles, have some skin that sags, and get a bit of a hollower look. But you don’t have to accept this as final! You want to feel young on the inside and outside, so enhance your natural beauty with Bounce Hydration’s new services: Botox, Dysport, Juvederm, and Restylane Dermal Filler injectables.
Botox, or botulinum toxin, is an injectable neurotoxin that helps reduce wrinkles, one of the skin’s main ways of saying, “Hey, I’m getting older!” Botox is given in unit doses. The amount varies by person.
Typically, people use Botox to ease wrinkles caused by facial expressions. The most common places on the face to get the injections are between the eyebrows, at crows feet, and on horizontal forehead lines.
Botox is administered using very small needle to inject neurotoxins into specific muscles to temporarily inhibit muscle contraction, thereby improving the appearance of wrinkles. That’s why it’s used for facial expression wrinkles, because they are caused by muscles. When the muscle freezes, you generally won’t see wrinkles again, until it’s time for another treatment. The effect lasts approximately three to four months.
Botox is FDA approved and a safe and effective method for treating wrinkles. It has been used for decades. If you want a wrinkle-free, youthful appearance to match how young you feel inside, Botox is a great time-tested option.
Dysport is another type of neurotoxin, designed to address moderate to severe facial wrinkles. Dypsort and Botox have the same active ingredient (botulinum toxin type A), but Dysport is more diluted. This means it’s better for larger surface areas because it spreads more quickly and results may be seen sooner.
This injectable works best on horizontal forehead lines and vertical frown lines, which are also known as “11” lines.
Dysport temporarily inhibits the muscles in the area by blocking the nerve receptors that cause muscle movement to soften every desired wrinkle. Dysport often lasts a little longer than Botox and while it is less per unit, more Dysport is used at each session, so the cost is generally about the same.
Dysport is also FDA approved and a safe and effective method for treating wrinkles. If you would like to address forehead lines or deeper frown lines, talk to your provider about Dysport. You’ll be able to cover a larger surface area more quickly.
If you think of Botox and Dysport as muscle relaxers, Juvederm and Restylane dermal fillers are the opposite. Instead of relaxing lines away, these injectables fill them in. They achieve a similar result, but with one big difference: Juvederm and Restylane fillers plump by adding back volume lost in different.
areas of the face as a result of aging.
Because fillers plump your face instead of evening it out, it’s best used for places that are a bit shallow as a result of aging. You can use it to plump up your lips, reduce smile lines from your nose to the corners of your mouth, bring back volume to your cheeks, lift sagging neck skin back to its natural spot, and eliminate wrinkles at the corners of your mouth.
Juvederm and Restylane are made from hyaluronic acid, which is naturally produced by the body. Our natural production decreases as we age. When Juvederm or Restylane fillers are injected, it gives your skin a needed boost. The hyaluronic acid stimulates collagen, so your skin will naturally plump up as a result of the injection.
Juvederm and Restylane are great for those who want an overall more youthful look — eliminating hollow areas and sagging that aging naturally causes in our faces. If you’re looking for a fuller appearance, dermal fillers are likely the best option but talk to your provider to be sure you make the choice that best suits your needs.
