Aging can trigger a lot of changes in your body. While many of these changes can be good things, some of them, like wrinkling skin can cause significant distress. At Prizant Dermatology in Pittsburgh, PA, our Xeomin treatment can help you look and feel young again.
Not all of the changes that come along with aging are welcome. As you get older, you’ve likely noticed major changes to your appearance, including wrinkles on your face. These wrinkles will age your appearance and can make you feel self-conscious and unhappy with your overall appearance.
If you’re looking for an effective way to get rid of wrinkles, then Xeomin could be what you’re looking for. You can use it to target a variety of areas of the face, and you’ll be able to get fast results. As soon as your treatment is complete, you’ll notice your face looks younger and smoother. Over the next week, your results will become more obvious.
This injectable may sound like the perfect solution to all your skin concerns, but why does your skin change so much in the first place? There’s no single determinate as to why your skin changes. Rather, it’s several factors combined that results in wrinkling and sagging.
The primary factors are a loss of collagen and elastin, proteins that provide skin with its structure and ability to smooth out after making a facial expression, and repeated muscle movements. These factors can be exacerbated by unhealthy lifestyle habits like drinking and smoking excessively as well as unprotected exposure to the sun.
This injectable is made with the ingredient botulinum toxin type A which is derived from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. This bacterium can be found in a variety of locations, including the soil and in forests.
This is the same ingredient that is used to make the injectable Botox. However, unlike Botox, this particular filler does not include any additive proteins. This makes it a fantastic option for candidates who are sensitive to the proteins in Botox.
When it’s injected into your skin, the botulinum toxin type A works as a neuromodulator. Don’t let the words “toxin” and “neuromodulator” put you off. This is an FDA-approved treatment, and it’s been carefully formulated to be both effective and safe.
Your brain sends certain signals to your muscles called neurotransmitters. These signals tell your muscles to contract. The botulinum toxin types A in this injectable blocks these signals, which means that the muscles will no longer contract. By relaxing the muscles, the skin on top of them will remain smooth and wrinkle-free.
One of the major benefits of this treatment method is that it can target several areas of the face. You can use this injectable to get back your younger, healthy, and vibrant appearance.
This injectable was first approved for treating frown lines. These are the vertical 11-shaped lines that appear in between your eyebrows, so-called because they appear when you frown. As your skin loses elasticity, these creases will become permanent.
You can use this filler to relax the muscles underneath your eyebrows, which will help the skin on top stay smooth and wrinkleless. Not only will relaxing these muscles make you look younger, but they’ll make you look happier and more relaxed too.
When you raise your eyebrows, you may notice horizontal lines appear on your forehead. The more you do this, the more prominent wrinkles on this part of your face will become.
This filler is a great way to target unwanted lines on your forehead by relaxing the muscles underneath. As soon as you’ve smoothed out these wrinkles, you’ll notice how much younger and more relaxed you look, providing you with an inviting appearance.
Have you noticed the area around your eyes becoming wrinkled? You might see little lines stretching out from the corners of your eyes, also known as crow’s feet because of their similarity to the way bird feet look. The area around your eyes tends to be very prone to wrinkling and other changes like sagging because it is much thinner than it is on other areas of your face.
If you’re looking for a way to smooth out these wrinkles and get a younger appearance and keep your eyes looking healthy, then this injectable can do that.
As we already discussed, one of the major factors that contribute to the appearance of wrinkles and lines is repeated facial expressions. That’s why the areas that move a lot tend to be the first to show signs of aging like wrinkling. Your mouth is one of the places where you’ll see the most wrinkling. That’s because it moves often throughout the day as you speak, make expressions, and eat.
This injectable is a great way to target these particular wrinkles. As soon as you smooth these lines out, you’ll notice what a huge change it makes to your appearance.
