We continue the story of new ways to outwit nature and stay "forever young". One of the most popular procedures today is "beauty injections". They are affordable and do not require long rehabilitation. They are offered an injection in almost all beauty salons. But, before agreeing to lie under the syringe of a medical cosmetologist, it is worthwhile to present the principle of action of these drugs. "Miracle means" are two types: botox and gels - restylane and perlite.
Botox - "ironing" What is being introduced?.
Botox is a purified neurotoxin complex of botulinum toxin type A, which under laboratory conditions produces microorganisms of Clostridium botulinum. These microbes in ordinary life are formed in overdue canned food.
How does it work"?.
The muscle is not shrinking by itself. Nerves and receptors approach it, through which impulses are transmitted, which cause the muscle to contract. Botox blocks the nerve transmission, the muscles do not receive a signal, so they do not contract. The prolonged relaxation of strained facial muscles, on the one hand, leads to a smoothing of the skin folds, on the other hand, enables the person to get used to controlling the expression of the face.
In what points are introduced?.
Botox really "spread" the upper third of the face: forehead (vertical and horizontal wrinkles), between the eyebrows, in the corners of the eyes (crow's feet); small wrinkles above the upper lip, raise the corners of the mouth and eyebrows that make the face youthful. But nasolabial folds can not be "corrected" by botox - otherwise people will not be able to eat or smile.
In addition to the face, the neck and decolletage. This is a kind of mini-lifting.
And they are treated with excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), blocking sweat glands.
How to prick?.
The patient is seated in an armchair in a semi-reclining position. You can ask for local anesthesia: a special cream with an anesthetic is applied to the skin. After injections, you may feel a slight discomfort - the heaviness in the muscles. The effect is visible within a week. Immediately after the procedure, you can get behind the wheel or go to work.
