Cosmetology injections for wrinkles

With age, the skin loses elasticity and becomes thinner. Big influence genetic predisposition influences the aging process to early wrinkles. For some women, the first facial wrinkles appear at the age of 25-28.

Cosmetology has extensive means for skin restoration, including injections of collagen, hyaluronic acid, Botox and an oxygen-ozone mixture.

What do they inject from wrinkles on the face?

Injections with collagen

The skin of children and young people is riddled with blood vessels and filled with structured collagen, a protein that makes the skin smooth, soft and elastic. In aging skin, long collagen threads are destroyed and the number of blood vessels decreases. The dermis (middle layer of the skin) loses its ability to recover and becomes deformed. First, facial wrinkles appear, and then deep wrinkles. Collagen loss occurs throughout the body, but this process is clearly visible on the face. Preparations containing collagen are obtained from:

  1. the patient’s own collagen (autocollagens);
  2. from cattle leather;
  3. their skin from deceased donors.

Collagen injections effective for patients aged 25 to 60 years. Collagen injections are used:

  1. to eliminate facial wrinkles around the mouth and nose, around the eyes, between the eyebrows;
  2. for the correction of deep wrinkles;
  3. to smooth out traumatic scars;
  4. to smooth the skin after acne has healed;
  5. to enlarge lips, cheekbones and cheeks.

Collagen gels (fillers) are injected under the skin using a syringe with a thin needle. The gel fills the subcutaneous space, as a result, wrinkles are straightened, and the face acquires the contours provided for by the correction. Skin looks young and becomes soft, elastic and smooth.

Pros of collagen injections:

  1. the effect of the injection is noticeable immediately after the procedure;
  2. the skin at the site of the scar or postoperative scar is smoothed out and the defect becomes less noticeable;
  3. injections stimulate the body’s production of its own collagen, regeneration of the dermis occurs;
  4. The duration of the procedure is short - from 15 minutes to 1 hour;
  5. the effects of the injection disappear after a few days.

Disadvantages of the procedure:

  1. the effect of injections is short-lived (from 3 to 6 months);
  2. some patients experience allergic reactions after the introduction of foreign collagen;
  3. after the injections the patient feels slight pain;
  4. Swelling and bruising may appear on the skin;
  5. some patients feel nausea, dizziness, joint pain after injection;
  6. Post-injection tissue necrosis and capillary blockage may appear at the sites of collagen injection.

The dosage of the drug depends on the injection site and the expected effect. The volume of one injection is from 1 to 5 ml of gel. To smooth out and eliminate shallow wrinkles, a drug with a low concentration of the active substance is selected.

More concentrated preparations are intended for the correction of acne scars and medium expression lines. To correct deep folds on the face, highly concentrated products are used (for example, the drug Collost with a gel concentration of 7% is intended for smoothing shallow expression wrinkles and minor skin correction, with a concentration of 15% for the correction of deep wrinkles).

The choice of drug, number of injections, injection site depends on the condition of the skin. The doctor first injects a high-concentration gel, then injects a low-concentration drug into the superficial tissues. Collagen injections cannot be done at home. The procedures are performed in the doctor's office.

Contraindications to collagen injections:

  1. allergic reaction to the drug;
  2. acute infectious diseases;
  3. rash on the face;
  4. oncological diseases;
  5. pregnancy;
  6. breastfeeding;
  7. age under 18 years.

Hyaluronic acid

Hyaluronic acid is a polysaccharide that is present in the human body. In children and young people, hyaluronic acid is synthesized in sufficient quantities, which contributes to optimal skin hydration. But over the years, the substance is formed in ever smaller quantities and wrinkles appear. Hyaluronic acid promotes the production of the main components of elastic skin - collagen and elastin.

The effect of injections with hyaluronic acid preparations lasts from 6 months to a year, sometimes for a longer time. As a result, the skin is well moisturized inside and out. The hyaluronic acid molecule binds up to 400-500 water molecules.

Synthetic hyaluronic acid in the injection solution stimulates the synthesis of your own collagen. Thanks to intensive hydration and collagen formation, wrinkles are smoothed out and appearance improves. Injections of the drug are used for:

  1. eliminate dry skin;
  2. smoothing wrinkles around the eyes at the stage of their formation;
  3. increasing the firmness and elasticity of facial skin;
  4. eliminating pigment spots;
  5. changes in facial contours (in contour plastic surgery).

Pros of hyaluronic acid injections:

  1. the drug causes allergic reactions only if there is an individual intolerance to the ingredients of the solution;
  2. the drug does not contain animal protein, so after its use there is no necrosis or tissue rejection;
  3. a cosmetologist performs procedures on an outpatient basis for 25-60 minutes;
  4. swelling at the injection sites resolves in 2-4 days.

Cons of the procedure — after the end of the drug’s effect, the skin stops moisturizing and producing collagen naturally, and wrinkles may become the same as they were before. The ability of tissues and skin to regenerate is lost.

The dosage of the products is done by a cosmetologist. The doctor can spend from 1 to 5 ml of hyaluronic acid for the procedure. There are several dozen drugs produced by manufacturers in different countries.

  1. Solutions for mesotherapy are less concentrated than solutions for revitalization with acid.
  2. For bioreinforcement, preparations with a high acid concentration are used.

You cannot give injections with hyaluronic acid at home; the procedure is carried out on an outpatient basis in a cosmetologist’s office. At home, you can only use external products. Contraindications to therapy are:

  1. age under 18 years;
  2. pregnancy;
  3. acute infectious diseases;
  4. skin rash, redness on the face;
  5. oncological diseases;
  6. lactation.

Botox injections

Botulinum toxin is a toxic substance of organic origin, which has a nerve-paralytic effect on human tissues and the nervous system. In large doses, the toxin can be deadly. But small doses of this organic poison are used in medicine and cosmetology. Preparations containing botulinum toxin are precisely injected under the skin using a syringe.

How does a Botox injection work? Botulinum toxin paralyzes a small area around the injection and facial muscles. As a result, the muscles at the injection site temporarily become immobile or inactive, and the wrinkles above them straighten out.

Botox injections are effective for four to eight months. After this they can be repeated. Small doses of botulinum toxin are not dangerous to health; the poison does not damage muscles and nerves, does not cause their atrophy, and is completely safe as a cosmetic. Several drugs are produced based on botulinum toxin. The most common treatments are Botox and Dysport.

Pros of Botox therapy:

  1. injections in the same place can be done multiple times;
  2. the use of Botox is very effective for eliminating wrinkles on the bridge of the nose, between the eyebrows, on the forehead, around the eyes and nose, and above the upper lip;
  3. Botox allows you to correct asymmetric eyebrows and different heights of the corners of the mouth;
  4. the skin at the site of straightened wrinkles quickly regenerates;
  5. there is no rehabilitation period after injections;
  6. maximum smoothing of wrinkles appears after 12-15 days;
  7. redness and swelling of the skin disappear after 1-2 days.

Disadvantages of the procedure:

  1. Botox cannot eliminate deep folds, scars and wrinkles;
  2. injections in the lower part of the face (chin, cheeks) are less effective than in the upper part;
  3. after the injection, the muscles can become very numb and completely lose sensitivity for a while (a sedentary face will look like a wax mask);
  4. after injections, drooping of the corners of the lips, eyelids, and eyebrows is possible;
  5. Small bruises may remain at the injection site.

The average dose of the drug for smoothing wrinkles is 30 units. Products from different manufacturers vary in effectiveness and strength, which is taken into account by the cosmetologist when calculating a single dose. So, 1 unit of Botox is equal to 4 units of Desport.

Improper use or home use of Botox, Desport, and other similar products can lead to severe poisoning and death.

Contraindications to Botox therapy:

  1. low blood clotting;
  2. acute forms of diseases of internal organs;
  3. acute infectious diseases;
  4. redness, rash, wounds on the skin of the face;
  5. myasthenia gravis (muscle weakness), paresthesia;
  6. oncological diseases;
  7. diseases of the endocrine system;
  8. pregnancy;
  9. lactation.

Ozone therapy

Injections with an oxygen-ozone mixture are made under the skin and inside the skin. As a result of the procedures, gas exchange in tissues improves, metabolic processes are stimulated and the skin is rejuvenated. For greater effectiveness, oxygen-ozone injections are supplemented with injections of physiological ozonized solution. Ozone therapy is effective for shallow wrinkles.

After the procedures, the following positive changes occur::

  1. Old and damaged cells die, and decay products are removed.
  2. Young healthy cells are nourished and actively work, which makes the skin firm, velvety and elastic.
  3. Active fibroblasts (connective tissue cells) produce substances that retain water inside the dermis.
  4. Ozone destroys pathogenic bacteria and skin mites (Demodex).
  5. Small acne disappears on skin treated with ozone.
  6. Intensive metabolism leads to the disappearance of scars left after acne treatment.
  7. Pigment spots are significantly lightened.
  8. After ozone injections, the face reacts less to temperature changes and does not blush in the heat.
  9. The functions of the sweat and sebaceous glands are normalized, and their ducts are not blocked.
  10. Spider veins and small capillaries narrow and become less noticeable. Blood flow in the capillaries is normalized.
  11. Excess intercellular fluid disappears, therefore swelling around the eyes decreases, “bags” under the eyes disappear.

Ozone injections normalize skin condition. They are prescribed to reduce the dryness of the skin; after treatment, oily skin produces less sebaceous secretion, since ozone narrows the pores.

The disadvantages of ozone therapy include:

  1. pain during administration and distribution of the gas mixture;
  2. bruising when capillaries are ruptured by a syringe needle;
  3. a swelling is visible at the injection site for one to three days, and when you press on it you can hear a creaking sound;
  4. Some patients may experience convulsions and a temporary decrease in sensitivity in the limbs after injections.

For one injection, 1 ml of the gas mixture is enough. It is injected under the skin (or inside the skin dermis) of the patient until a swelling (small blister) appears. A cosmetologist can give up to twenty injections on the face in one session.

The course of treatment includes from 6 to 15 sessions, which are carried out with a break of several days (twice a week or more often). Session duration is 35-40 minutes.

Contraindications to ozone injections are:

  1. diabetes;
  2. decreased blood clotting, hemophilia;
  3. hyperthyroidism;
  4. decreased number of platelets in the blood;
  5. taking medications that reduce blood clotting (anticoagulants);
  6. oncological diseases;
  7. acute infectious diseases;
  8. first days of menstruation;
  9. Ozone therapy should not be given to patients who have previously had seizures or epilepsy;
  10. therapy is contraindicated in people who have suffered head injuries.

The possibility of suppuration and tissue necrosis at the injection site is a rare side effect of ozone therapy. Most often, this complication occurs due to individual intolerance to the drug.

Cosmetic procedures including injections must be performed by a doctorwith the appropriate specialty. Correct correction and good treatment can only be obtained in specialized clinics. In choosing therapy and assessing its effectiveness, you should rely on specialists in the field of cosmetology.

Beauty injections: list

Among injection methods for combating wrinkles, there are several types of procedures.

Fillers

Fillers are preparations with a gel consistency that are injected under the skin to smooth its surface, eliminate wrinkles and add volume to the cheekbones, nose, etc.

Today the following are used as fillers:

  1. Purified silicone. The drug is not a popular one; it is banned in Europe and the USA due to many side effects.
  2. Hyaluronic acid. Natural component for the human body.
  3. Collagen. A synthesized human or animal component is used.
  4. The patient's own adipose tissue. They are collected during liposuction, after which there is a complex process of processing them, followed by the introduction of the resulting drug under the skin. This is the most expensive filler option, which has the lowest percentage of complications and the longest lasting effect. The first results are visible 4–6 months after administration.

The consistency of the preparations may vary; the denser the gel, the faster the result is visible. It is more difficult for specialists to work with such fillers. Proper distribution of a dense gel under the skin without the formation of tubercles and other irregularities in the future requires a specialist to have extensive experience.

Fillers do not affect muscle tissue in any way and do not interfere with their work, facial expressions are preserved.

Preparations that are less dense in consistency apply smoothly. The effect after their administration can be assessed a day after the procedure. The result obtained remains unchanged for 6–12 months.

Video: correction of nasolabial sweet spots with fillers

The procedure is recommended for patients aged 35–50 years. It makes no sense to introduce fillers earlier, since age-related changes are not yet so invisible. After 50 years, this method of facial skin correction no longer has such an effect and is only an auxiliary method of maintaining the freshness and elasticity of the skin, subject to intervention by plastic surgeons.

Botulinum toxin injections

The main component of the drugs is neurotoxin type A, used in low concentrations. Botulinum toxin effectively eliminates facial wrinkles by blocking muscle nerve impulses.

After the injection, over the course of several weeks, the skin gradually becomes smoother, wrinkles smooth out and become less noticeable. The effect lasts for 6–12 months, which depends on the depth of wrinkles and the individual reaction of the body.

After administration of botulinum toxin, patients are required to follow the following recommendations:

  1. Do not take a horizontal position for 4 hours;
  2. Do not massage the skin in the injection area for a week;
  3. Do not drink alcohol for 2 weeks;
  4. Physical activity and antibiotics based on aminoglycosides and tetracycline should be avoided.

During the day you need to monitor your facial expressions. The movements of the facial muscles should not be too active.

The result after the injection of botulinum toxin does not appear immediately; changes on the face become noticeable by the end of the first week, the maximum effect is achieved 2 weeks after the procedure. The results obtained last for 6–12 months.

Video: face before and after Botox injection

Currently, there are three main drugs based on botulinum toxin:

  1. Botox (USA);
  2. Dysport (France);
  3. Xeomin (Germany).

Botox is a purified neurotoxin. It has been used within this procedure for about 18 years. This is a studied, tested and proven drug.

Xeomin is a neurotoxin in its pure form, it does not contain third-party proteins, thereby the drug causes a lower percentage of allergic reactions in patients. The drug is new to the market.

The active component of Dysport is the same botulinum toxin, but its concentration is 3 times less than in Botox. The composition is distinguished by high penetrating ability and the absence of protein complexes.

Three drugs are recommended for use starting from the age of 30.

Mesotherapy

The procedure allows you to fight wrinkles at an early stage of manifestation. The drugs used during it are vitamin cocktails that are injected under the skin to a depth of about 4 mm.

Mesotherapy is carried out in courses. The break between procedures is 2–3 weeks. One course includes 4–6 procedures.

The frequency of repetition depends on the condition of the skin and can be done every six months.

The effect of mesotherapy can be seen about a week after the administration of the cocktail. During this time, swelling goes away, the skin is restored, nutrients enter the cells.

This procedure is also carried out at an early age, starting from the age of 20, but only after examining the skin. In addition to problems with shallow wrinkles, the mesotherapy procedure allows you to restore the integument, eliminate age spots, acne, etc.

Vitamin compositions are introduced:

  1. manually;
  2. hardware method;
  3. laser;
  4. special massage rollers.

During the hardware and laser method of drug administration, a larger volume is consumed than during manual administration.

Mesotherapy at home

Having a mesoscooter, you can carry out the skin nourishing procedure yourself. To do this, you need to purchase at the pharmacy:

  1. meso cocktail (Revitalize, BioLift);
  2. soothing mask;
  3. nutritious cream;
  4. antiseptic (Chlorhexidine);
  5. anesthetic gel based on lidocaine (Emla).

  1. Remove makeup.
  2. Treat the mesoscooter with alcohol.
  3. Wipe the skin with an antiseptic.
  4. Apply anesthetic gel to your face and follow with a meso cocktail.
  5. Pass the mesoscooter over the desired areas of the face for 3-5 minutes. The procedure is painful.
  6. Apply a soothing pharmaceutical mask to your face and leave for half an hour.
  7. Treat the mesoscooter with an antiseptic.
  8. Wash off the mask and pat your face dry with a clean towel. Apply nourishing cream.
  9. Repeating the mesotherapy procedure is not allowed earlier than 2 weeks after the first.

Biorevitalization

During biorevitalization, hyaluronic acid-based compounds are injected into the deep layers of the skin. Plant extracts, peptides, etc. can be added to the main component.

The composition nourishes tissue cells, stimulates the production of collagen and elastin. The skin becomes elastic, its surface is smoothed, small wrinkles disappear.

The primary course consists of 3 procedures. The break between each is 14–20 days. In the future, 1 procedure every 3–4 months is sufficient.

Peptides

Chains of amino acids connected by peptide bonds are widely used in cosmetology. These drugs, in combination with vitamins, are used as part of mesotherapy, and with the addition of hyaluronic acid - in biorevitalization.

According to the principle of action against wrinkles, drugs can be divided into several groups:

  1. stimulating the synthesis of collagen and elastin;
  2. paralyzing facial expressions and acting as analogues of botulinum toxin injections.

Non-injection methods for eliminating wrinkles

If small wrinkles appear on your face, you can try to cope with them without resorting to injections. For this purpose, there are vitamins and dietary supplements that improve skin condition.

A nicotinic acid

Nicotinic acid is a remedy that helps fight the first signs of skin aging and a fine network of wrinkles. It is a vitamin PP, which is necessarily present in the human body.

The result of its lack are:

  1. changes in hormonal levels;
  2. deterioration of skin condition;
  3. indigestion, etc.

Nicotinic acid is available in ampoules and tablets. Used externally and consumed internally.

Plastic surgeons recommend taking it in preparation for plastic surgery and during the recovery period after. Nicotinic acid promotes accelerated skin restoration and rapid healing.

The usual course of taking nicotinic acid is as follows: 10 days before the start of a new menstrual cycle, women are recommended to drink the drug at a dosage of 50 mg. One pill is taken per day and divided into three doses. Drink plenty of water after meals. When menstruation begins, taking the pills stops.

The next two stages of the course repeat the described cycle.

In liquid form, nicotinic acid is used to prepare masks and as an additive to nourishing or moisturizing cream.

A side effect of taking the drug is facial redness within an hour after taking the pill. This is caused by the dilation of blood vessels.

Glucosamine

Glucosamine is available in the form of injection solution and tablets. Joint diseases are treated with injections, dietary supplements are taken orally to combat age-related changes in the skin. Glucosamine helps restore tissue turgor, restore a healthy complexion, and eliminate fine wrinkles.

The daily concentration of the drug for an adult is 1500 mg. Glucosamine is taken orally, 1 tablet per day. The duration of the course is one month.

The action of the drug in the body is aimed at stimulating collagen production. As part of the fight against wrinkles, taking Glucosamine will be effective at the age of 25–35 years.

Reviews

First, I rushed out of the office and was impressed that no one was looking at me with curiosity on the subway; I forgot about the procedure. The next day and for another two weeks, I had a terrible headache, I could feel the filler, and my cheek also hurt. I’ll have to come to terms with this, I took painkillers, but it didn’t help much. It hurt to move my head. Now the photo is after some time, when there is already an effect, the folds on the forehead have become smaller, but I honestly expected more, and the nasolabial folds have gone away altogether.”

“The effect of Dysport is really longer - about six months, Botox usually disappears from my face after 1-3 months, facial expressions are preserved, my face does not look like a lifeless mask. Without a doubt, I recommend “beauty injections”, since this procedure is available to everyone.”

Once I underwent injection mesotherapy from a cosmetologist. A cocktail with hyaluronic acid and vitamins was introduced. Well what can I say. Firstly, it’s not cheap, and secondly, it’s a little painful. The cosmetologist gives intradermal injections with a thin needle. At first they offered me pain relief with Emla cream, I decided to be patient. In principle, the procedure is not so scary. There is also a theory that after a series of injections the body begins to block the passage of nerve signals, as if it were anesthetizing itself. Therefore, the procedure is tolerable even without pain relief. Result: it really exists. The skin looks healthier and tightens. But the effect is not endless, the cosmetologist recommended repeating it at least a couple of times a year, well, in general, recommendations are individual.
