Injectable Therapies

More and more of us are now concerned about having a youthful appearance and are turning to cosmetic surgery to get the desired look.

Wrinkles... Who wants them ?

Wrinkles are caused by contractions of the delicate underlying facial muscles every time you smile, laugh or frown. As a result, these lines can give a person an angry, tired or sad appearance although they may not be feeling this emotion.

Until recently, many people thought that the only answer was to get a facelift. But now, through Injectable Therapies you can precent the formation of these lines and fill the ones that you have already formed.

What are Injectable Therapies ?

Injectable Therapies are the use of a form of botulinium toxin that safely relaxes the underlying face muscles reducing wrinkles. It improves the appearance of frown lines, crows feet and forehead creases.

Are Injectable Therapies Safe ?

Botulinium toxin often makes people think of food poisoning but these injections are approved by the FDA as a safe and effective treatment for wrinkles.

These injections have been used for over 30 years treating neurological disorders and the National Institute of Health have confirmed that the use of botuliium toxin is safe for theraputic use.

How do Injectable Therapies work ?

Botox prevent wrinkles from appearing by relaxing the underlying muscles so they do not contract. It acts by blocking impulses from the nerve to the tiny facial muscles that are related to the expression lines.

When treated the skin remains smooth and unwrinkled while the untreated skin allows your normal facial expression to be unaffected.

The Limitations of Injectable Therapy ?

Injectable Therapy is only a temporary solution for the treatment of wrinkles. The effect of each injection is four to six months but over time the effect is longer lasting.

When you are consulting with your Surgeon you will need to tell him / her about any other drugs you are on which may have an effect on the nerve impulses. You should tell your doctor what differences in your appearance you want to see.

The doctor will explain the treatment along with the risks to let you decide if Injectable Therapy is for you.

How does Collagen work ?

Zyderm and / or Zyplast Collagen are placed beneath your skin where the body accepts it as it's own. By supplementing your skins own collagen with Zyderm and / or Zyplast Collagen we can smooth out wrinkles and most scars. It can also improve the appearance of deeper frown lines and nasal furrows.

Collagen can also be used to enhance lip lines adding fullness. It is a safe and effective non-surgical treatment that provides immediate results.

Botulinium Injectable Therapy or Collagen ?

Botulinium toxin is great for crows feet, creases and forehead lines, while collagen is used for deep smile lines, dimples, lines around the mouth, acne scars, cheek depresssions and facial scars as well as for lip augmentation.
