What is Botox® treatment? BOTOX®
is a registered trademark of Allergan. Botox ®
injections are utilized to help reduce lines and furrows in the
skin. The solution injected is actually a purified form of
Botulinum Toxin A. Botox ® injections work by blocking nerve
terminal release of a neurotransmitter to the muscle. Then the
muscles that normally contract in a certain area underlying a
line, crease or furrow are blocked from action. This
allows the overlying skin to return to its smooth wrinkle-free
state. This is not a permanent effect and needs to be
repeated approximately ever 6 months. Injections need to be
performed by an experience medical professional.
Microdermabrasion has been developed
as a less aggressive treatment and is often performed on people
that can afford the recovery period required from full
dermabrasion procedures. Microdermabrasion is often
referred to as the "lunch time face lift" because of
the tightening and smoothing of the facial skin.
Microdermabrasion is an exfoliation is
accomplished inactive particle or “sand” that is
sprayed against the skin and vacuumed up, with the resulting
particles collected and disposed of. Conditions that can
be treated are keratosis, mild hyperpigmentation, surgical
scars, acne. Situations where the procedure is contraindicated
is in those with herpes simplex, excessive numbers of
small broken blood vessels, severe hyperpigmentation, or open
wounds.
The procedure is not painful, and the procedure creates results
that are similar to a mild sunburn. Moisturizing lotions are
used after the procedure to help reduce dryness.
