Nowadays, we fight against the signs of aging, primarily against wrinkles, with all the means at our disposal. There are often discussions about botox and dermal fillers.
What to choose?
Today, Botox and dermal fillers have become a widely accepted choice for treating wrinkles in almost all age groups. Their common characteristic is that they are both applied by injection into a certain tissue of the organism. There is no filler, and no botox that you could apply with a cream or some other cosmetic method.
However, before the differences between these two preparations are explained, we must certainly say something more about the main cause of wrinkles.
Aged skin?
No, the skin is not the tissue responsible for the formation of wrinkles, at least not the main one in the process. Wrinkles are, in fact, a consequence of what is happening underneath.
The skin is our largest and most beautiful organ, and it contains several layers that include other tissues in depth. The biggest difference between Botox and fillers is that each of these agents should be applied to a different layer, or tissue.
Botox is a preparation suitable for smoothing small wrinkles (around the eyes, between the eyebrows and on the forehead), while dermal fillers solve larger defects – deep wrinkles, a sunken and drooping face and facial unevenness.
Fillers are the foundation, and botox is the glaze, I can’t live without the other.
The facts about Botox and fillers
Botox is a preparation, which is completely harmless in the hands and the institution of administration, and which temporarily paralyzes the muscles for up to four months. It evens out the areas of small and numerous wrinkles. The field of its application is facial musculature.
Dermal fillers are applied in the subcutaneous and deeper layers according to their composition and density. They can go above or below botox.
Anatomy must be known
It is the anatomy of the tissue that determines where any of them will be applied. So far we have mentioned tissues and layers and their complexity. To be able to “live”, the tissues must be nourished and have the possibility of mobility. This is made possible by the circulatory system, and the main and responsible one is the central nervous system, i.e. the nervous system, the nerves.
As vessels and nerves permeate all tissues, knowledge of anatomy and physiology, that is, the science of tissue functioning, is extremely important. If you do not know the anatomy and how it works, you can cause irreparable consequences by applying Botox and fillers.
It is not necessary to emphasize where it is learned, applied and experienced.
