Botox, Botox commonly known as the youth injection affect the neuromuscular endings and cause the muscles responsible for the wrinkle formation to weaken. That is why the skin becomes softer and the wrinkles smoothen. The basic difference between the Botox and the other entire wrinkle fighting substances is, that Botox by weakening the mimic muscles targets the cause of the wrinkle formation. The therapeutically effect lasts temporarily around 3-6 months. The Botox is used for mimic wrinkles removal caused by the extra tension or by habitual flexion of some of the muscles. It's useless to use Botox as a treatment for the static wrinkles caused by the loss of skin elasticity.
The best effects are observed when using Botox on the upper part of the head (in the forehead area 'lion's wrinkles' and in the orbital external parts 'crow's feet'). The positive therapeutic effects are seen when the Botox is used around lips, in the nasolabial fold and the wrinkles of the neck and chin skin. The procedure aims at relaxing the tensioned mimic facial muscles, and not to paralyse them completely. That is why at the end we get decreased contractility or muscle tension weakening that helps facial wrinkles smoothening.

The substances used in wrinkles correction and facial modelling:

Stabilized hialuric acid:
(Restylane, Restylane Fine Lines, Perlane, Juvederm, Aquamed)

The hialuric acid is the natural skin component. The product doesn't include any animal related substances, that is why there is no risk with carrying of an inter-species disease or allergic reaction formation in the patients allergic to food e.g. chicken meat, eggs or fishes. The usage of these substances doesn't require any initial tests and enables for the rapid treatment of them. The hialuric acid substances have a form of an invincible gel placed in a sterile syringe ready for use. After the injection of the gel into the wrinkle line or the lips the substance ties water thus increasing the capacity of the area. That causes smoothening of the wrinkles or modelling of the lips contours. The procedure usually takes 30 minutes. There is instant effect of the treatment. The initial symptom can be prolonged by following injections. The molecules of a given gel are absorbed so slowly that there is enough time left for decision whenether to do the following procedure. Most of the patients make such a decision within 6-12 months of the initial procedure. Directly after the procedure, typical symptoms of an injection may occur: oedema, redness and livid spots, pain and skin irritations, and touch hypersensitivity in the area of gel implantation. Those symptoms vanish within 1-2 days after admission of the substance into the skin, and within a week after lips admission. It's very important to remember that those substances give a long lasting but not a permanent life long effect. After total absorption of the gel there is no trace of it in the tissues. It's the safety guarantee of this substances.

Excessive perspiration:

The botuline toxin apart of the wrinkles smoothening has found its role in the treatment of an excessive perspiration, inhibiting perspiration for few months. Before the procedure it's extremely important to mark the excessive perspiration area carefully. Most commonly the spots that require botuline injections are covered with a sweats drops. Occasionally it's difficult to locate the spot - that is why we use a Minor test (starch- iodine test). It consists of putting the iodine on the spot and then pouring the potato starch on it. The target areas get darker within few seconds; then You inject the Botox intradermically into each square. The excessive perspiration will pass within 3-5 days - the effect lasts 4-6 months.

Skin rejuvenating procedures:

After 30 years of age unfavourable changes start to occur in the skin. First small wrinkles occur. The cells regenerate less rapidly, corneous layer become thicker, collagen fibres vanish and the skin losses its elasticity. The skin starts to have a grey tint and become flabbier. The more the changes become apparent the more difficult it is to fight them. In persons that expose themselves to the sun quite often overcolouring and enlarge capillary vessels appear. In such changes creams and facemasks won't be enough. The so-called 'cosmetic peeling' done in the cosmetic centres won't help either as they only penetrate the superficial layers of the skin. Only the procedures and substances that penetrate deep into the proper skin can help. If skin needs just a freshening and there are no deep wrinkles it's good idea to make Yourself an epidermis peeling procedure (so-called 'medical peeling'). They are done with the usage of fruit acids - they are plants extracts that cause epidermis peeling and improves collagen synthesis; improving skin look in the process. No matter what kind of a peeling is used You have to protect Your skin from sunlight and avoid using any drugs with the A vitamin derivatives during those procedures.

Medical peelings:

	increases skin elasticity,
	decreases the number and the depth of wrinkles,
	it unites the skin colour,
	it decreases the skin irregularities,
	it closes the skin pores,

Peeling indications :

	dull, grey and dry skin,
	solar or post-inflammatory overcolouring
	melanotic freckle of Hutchinson,
	senile and solar keratosis,
	small wrinkles,
	superficial scares,
	vulgar and seborrhoeic verruca,
	enlarge openings of the seborrhoeic glands,
	common acne (light changes).

Peeling contraindications :

	lactation and pregnancy,
	viral and bacterial infections,
	light hypersensitivity,
	face and neck surgical operations,
	radiotherapy and chemotherapy,
	stress,
	liver, kidneys and heart diseases,
	treatment by A vitamin acid (Roacutan) - 1year latency period
	tendency to form keloids.

What side effect can occur?

Local side effects after fruit acids usage are rare and usually are minimal. After the procedure erythema, irritation and burning sensation may persist for several hours. Moreover a hypersensitivity to the atmospheric conditions e.g. light may occur. Sometimes certain people don't tolerate substances with alpha-hydroxyacids, which presents with long lasting irritation sensation and excessive redness; new overcolouring, herpes and acne may also occur.
