As individuals age, the deeper layers of the skin experience a reduction in fat and collagen, resulting in decreased elasticity and moisture in the membrane. This often leads to the development of lines, creases (wrinkles), or loose, saggy skin. Factors such as exposure to ultraviolet radiation or repetitive facial expressions can exacerbate the formation of wrinkles. Regardless of the underlying cause, observing these changes in the mirror may lead to feelings of diminished self-esteem. Fortunately, advancements in medical technology offer solutions to address these concerns, restoring a more youthful appearance.
Understanding Botox and Dysport
Botox and Dysport are highly purified and double-filtered neurotoxins that ease wrinkles and reduce the muscle activities that lead to their formation. During its manufacture, the therapeutic components of the molecule are isolated as the unnecessary proteins that do not play a role in the treatment are removed.
In the actual procedure, a needle is used to inject the neurotoxin solution into the treatment area. Once in the skin, neurotoxin manages the communication between the brain and the problematic muscles. This results in the relaxation of the muscles and reduced appearance of wrinkles.
Top 5 Treatment Areas for Botox & Dysport
Often, Botox and Dysport are used for treatment on the forehead and between brows, as they are the areas it was initially designed for. However, it has been proven viable for the treatment of any part of the face where deep wrinkles are likely to form. While Botox and Dysport can be used in various areas of the face, certain treatment areas are particularly popular for Botox and Dysport injections:
1. Crow’s Feet
Crow’s feet are fine lines that form at the outer corners of the eye and are often due to emotional expression on the face. Initially, you may notice them when you smile or laugh, but with time, the lines appear even when you do not express emotion. For most people, crows feet may start developing as early as 30 years. Depending on genetics and skincare routine, you may not develop them until you are in your 40s.
2. Smoker’s Lines
Excessive smoking not only negatively impacts your health but can also lead to premature skin aging and the formation of smoking lines around the mouth. Non-smokers may also develop these lines from eating, speaking, drinking from a straw, or playing instruments such as a recorder.
3. Jawline Slimming
A well-defined jawline is a facial appearance booster– if you have an overly prominent jaw, it may be due to the increased size of the masseter muscle. When the neuromodulator is injected into the jaw muscle, it blocks the neural transmission, and the jaw contracts. Continued administration of the dose results in muscle reduction over time, and you can have a slimmer and more defined jaw.
4. Dimpled Chin Lines
Dimpled chins are not easily noticeable unless you look in the mirror when eating or talking. Often, they are caused by fat loss around the chin area due to age– younger people may also develop these divots and lines due to an overactive mentalis muscle.
5. Bunny Lines
When scrunching or wrinkling your nose, you may note diagonal or vertical lines on its bridge or the sides. This is due to the repeated contractions of the nasalis muscle. It can also be because of prior treatment with an anti-wrinkle dosage due to the compensatory movement after the procedure.
Which Neurotoxin is Right For Me?
Among the two neurotoxin treatments, Botox and Dysport stand out for their unique features and benefits. Botox offers reliable results, and its careful composition allows for targeted muscle relaxation with minimal downtime– Dysport results are rapid, and the solution can combat dynamic wrinkles.Understanding which neurotoxin is right for you will likely require a professional assessment for the most substantial outcomes.
