The use of liquid injections to help preserve an appearance of youth in facial skin is one of the most common plastic surgery procedures today. Dermal fillers contain different ingredients to create a youthful appearance, but BOTOX® Cosmetic contains Botulinum toxin type A.
Botulinum toxin type A is a by-product of the bacterium Colstridium botulinum. When used as an injectable in facial rejuvenation procedures, it works to paralyze face muscles by preventing the exchange of nerve signals between the brain and those muscles. Wrinkles are then reduced due to the restricted movement of the facial muscles.
BOTOX® Cosmetic has long been the reigning non-surgical wrinkle reducing injectable. Now an alternative to the popular BOTOX® Cosmetic, called Xeomin, has come to the United States.
Xeomin is very similar to BOTOX® Cosmetic and Dysport, and produces similar results. What sets it apart is that it does not have to be refrigerated before use, and it does not contain additives. The effects of Xeomin will show within one week and the results last from three to six months.
These cosmetic procedures require minimal recovery time. They can often be done with just a thirty minute in-office session and you can be on your way. You will likely experience swelling directly after the procedure, but this will dissipate quickly and you will have beautiful results to enjoy. Bruising after the injection is also common.
If you have decided that you would like to refresh your look with an injection of BOTOX ®, or newly available Xeomin, you need to choose a plastic surgeon you can trust. Make sure you choose a board certified plastic surgeon that is happy to answer any questions you have.
