When it comes to anti-again, minimally invasive procedures for the face, the best option for most people is either getting derma fillers or Botox. A lot of people confuse the two and think that there is no difference between the two techniques, both are injectables that help with removing wrinkles, but there is a subtle distinction between the two.
Derma fillers are injections that are administered under the skin of the face or hands to smooth lines and add overall fullness to the skin that fades with time. Botox or onabotulinumtoxinA on the other hand is injected directly into the muscles to relax them. Botox can also be used to flatten wrinkles and for several medical conditions as well. Derma fillers, in general, are relatively more expensive than Botox injections but overall, both serve their purposes well and are as minimally invasive as possible.
Both, derma fillers and Botox injects have different types within themselves as well, and each of these types targets different problem areas of the face and hands. Derma filler injections come in many types, mentioned below are some of the most commonly used ones.
Calcium Hydroxylapatite
Calcium hydroxylapatite is a mineral-like compound that is naturally found in human bones. It can be used in injections to treat severe lines and wrinkles on the skin and enhance the fullness of the skin. Calcium hydroxylapatite is biosynthetically produced and does not use any animal products in it. This type of derma filler is known for giving the most natural results.
Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic acid is naturally found in abundance in the body, especially in the soft connective tissues, in the fluid surrounding the eyes, in some cartilages, joint fluids, and in skin tissue. This acid serves a lot of purposes, like improving the contours of the skin and even removing skin depression that comes as a result of scars, injuries, burns, and even lines.
Polyalkylimide
Polyalkylimide, on the other hand, is a semi-permanent derma filler that is most commonly used to treat deep wrinkles, make lips plumper, enhance the jaw and cheekbones, and even treat facial wasting from HIV medication. Polyalkylimide is completely biocompatible, which means it does not react a lot with human tissues and does not cause any allergic reactions. This type of derma filler is also radio transparent which means that it does not interfere with x-rays.
