It’s a common misconception that Anti-Wrinkle Injections and Dermal Fillers are one and the same. Rest assured this is definitely not the case.
Anti Wrinkle Injections
For those who may not know, Anti Wrinkle Injections are used for paralysing muscles under your skin. These muscles cause wrinkles and fine lines to form when you make facial expressions.
When Do You Use Anti Wrinkle Injections?
It’s simple—when you have wrinkles that stay even when you’re not smiling. These are called ‘Dynamic Wrinkles’. They are so named because they are caused by muscle movement. This means that when you squint into the sun or laugh, the crow’s feet and laugh lines that appear are ‘dynamic wrinkles’. Typically, Anti Wrinkle Injections get rid of dynamic wrinkles that cause lines on the upper portion of the face like horizontal lines on your forehead or that number 11 that pops out when you frown.
Where Is It Used?
This anti ageing treatment is used to get rid of fine lines, wrinkles, furrows and creases around certain regions on your face.
The most common areas to have this treatment are on are your forehead, above the brows and around the mouth and eyes. The right dose will prevent that scary “Frozen face”. We at Simply Clinics provide an anti-wrinkle treatment that delivers natural results.
It is important to remember that this is a temporary treatment. This means that after a period of time—usually 3 to 4 months—you will have to make an appointment with your doctor again, if needed.
FILLERS
On the other hand, dermal fillers – or soft tissue fillers – have one purpose. As the name suggests, they are used to “fill” or plump up areas on your face and body. Calcium hydroxylapatite and Hyaluronic acid among others are substances usually used to make the solution. The most common type of dermal fillers is lip fillers.
Dermal fillers can be used on additional areas too such as the chin, cheeks and nose. These areas naturally thin out as you age.
When Do You Use Fillers?
This one is simple too—when areas on your face start to sag or naturally lose their plumpness. Wrinkles can form on these areas—these are called ‘Static Wrinkles’. They form when the skin naturally starts losing its collagen and elasticity. The most common regions for these to form are cheeks, neck and chin. The results for fillers last depending on the type of filler used.
Where Is It Used?
There are a number of signs of aging that dermal fillers can work on:
- Wrinkles under the eyes caused by the heavy lower lid
- Thin lips
- Shallow areas on the face
Both are non-invasive inject-able cosmetic treatments that typically don’t take very long to administer. The right treatment – depends on each individual. These cosmetic treatments and considered safe and rarely cause severe side-effects. They are not recommended for pregnant and breast-feeding women. It is important to consult a certified dermatologist before opting for them.
