Correction of mimic wrinkles
A successful correction to a great extent depends on the state of the skin, level of its elasticity, depth and „age” of wrinkles and folds. Due to this reason we recommend our patients with marked age related changes in their skin to undergo first a course of rejuvenation procedures, such as:
- microcurrent therapy,
- photorejuvenation,
- chemical peeling,
- cosmetic procedures with application of cell cosmetics and
- other rejuvenation cosmetic remedies.
Hyper-mimical wrinkles, most expressed on the forehead, between eyebrows and on the paraorbital area, are the most common cosmetic defects. Hyperactivity of the face muscles is one of the initiating agents in appearance of mimic wrinkles. The discovery of Alastair and Jean Carruthers (Vancouver, Canada, 1991) of the botulinum toxin type A impact on mimic wrinkles is considered to be the most significant progress in aesthetic medicine.
As explains English professor D. Lou – botulinum toxin has opened a new era in a non-surgical treatment of face muscles. Therapeutic value of botulotoxin is determined by its ability to induce a localized relaxation when injected locally in a muscle. BOTOX is indicated for treatment of any muscle available for injection being in the state of pathological contraction. Temporal denervation does not cause atrophy of the mimical muscular system; motor activity of muscles recovers completely in the period from 4 months to 1 year.
The active ingredient of the preparations is protein, which blocks liberation of acetylcholine in the body and relaxes muscles.Preparations are used for elimination of mimic wrinkles and treatment of abnormally increased perspiration - hyperhidrosis (hands, feet, axillas). The main areas of application are wrinkles on the forehead, at the corners of eyes, on glabella, the bridge of nose and the upper lip. Regularly performed procedures help maintain muscles relaxed, wrinkles of any depth smooth out and appearance of new ones is prevented. You can forget forever the „crow-feet” at the corners of your eyes and lips, and about the so called anger folds on your forehead. Durability of results. As a rule, the effect can be visible on the 3-5th day after the injection.
Exposure time
The result comes to its maximum on the day 10-14th and lasts for about 4-6 months. The procedure may be performed repeatedly. Botulinum toxin injections in combination with contour plastics, different kinds of dermabrasion, plastic surgery of aesthetical profile allows you obtain remarkable and stable results of correction.
