SIMPLE
LUNCH TIME TREATMENT REDUCES FACIAL LINES
When we frown, Smile or laugh we contract muscles
in our face into folds of skin that form dynamic
wrinkles such as “crow’s feet”.
Forehead lines or “worry lines”. Over
time, these dynamic wrinkles and lines become
deeper and more permanent.
According to Dr. James Chen, Cosmetic Doctor at
Ashbury Cosmetic Surgery & Vein Centre, a
simple treatment with Wrinkle Fillers can dramatically soften
facial expression lines leaving you looking younger
and more refreshed.
If dynamic winkles make you look older than you
are, now there is a way to erase these lines without
surgery, scars and recovery time.
Facial expressions occur when the brain sends
a signal to muscle tissue. Wrinkle Fillers block
impulses from the nerve to the tiny facial muscles
to stop them contracting, leaving the overlying
skin smooth and unwrinkled. Wrinkle Fillers
works only on the specific muscles injected
leaving surrounding muscles to function as usual,
producing normal facial expressions because
it only works where you want it to.
Wrinkle Fillers are injected using a disposable
syringe with a very fine needle. The pain
associated with injections is minimal. Many
patients describe it as an ant bite sting for
a few seconds. No local anaesthetic is required
and you can resume normal activities immediately.
Treatment takes around 15 minutes, depending
on the number of areas you want to treat.
“After injection, it takes 2-3 days for
Wrinkle Fillers to begin taking effect and up to 14 days
to see the full effect” adds Dr. James Chen
Wrinkle Fillers are used widely for the elimination
of:
• Frown lines between the eyebrows
• Horizontal forehead lines
• Crows feet or smile lines around the eyes
It is being increasingly used to reduce necklines
and in brow lifts to achieve a more youthful arched
brow which round and softens the eye. Doctors
have also reported good results in the nasolabial
fold between the nose and mouth, perioral lip
lines (“smoker’s lips”)
Dr James Chen explains that the advantage of Wrinkle Fillers
is that it is temporary. The effect lasts for
3-5 months or longer depending on the individual.
You can decide if you like it, and then repeat
the treatment regularly as you wish, increasing
the number of facial areas you want to treat.
The result will wear off progressively and you
will need repeat injections 2-3 times a year.
Early clinic studies indicate the duration of
effect increases over time so you may require
less frequent injections in the future to maintain
the result you have come to like.
It’s the fastest-growing cosmetic procedure,
according to the American Society for aesthetic
Plastic Surgery. In the United Stated 498,204
Wrinkle Fillers procedures were recorded in 1998, a growth
of 216% making it the most common cosmetic procedure
after chemical peel.
The safety profile of Wrinkle Fillers is considered to be
excellent. It has been used for patients with
various conditions for over 10 years in over 60
different countries.
Wrinkle Fillers are often used in a combination
with other facial enhancement procedures to
improve the overall effect. Because it is a
localized procedure it does not interfere with
the other procedures such as injectables or
laser resurfacing. In fact, studies have shown
Erbium laser resurfacing alone gives less improvement
then when performed with Wrinkle Fillers. You
should always discuss combining Wrinkle Fillers
and other procedures with your doctor before
proceeding.
Dr. James Chen stresses that Wrinkle Fillers
are equally effective on men and women. In fact,
men increasingly seek out this treatment to
leave them looking younger in the workplace.
Because it is effective for worry lines, it
is popular with many businessmen to leave them
looking refreshed and approachable.
