Some say that wrinkles are a natural part of life. And it is true that they do naturally occur as a person gets older. However, just because they are a natural part of life doesn’t mean you can’t combat them. Thankfully, there are products that can act as wrinkle blockers. We invite you to learn about XEOMIN® and Dysport®.
These treatments are not like topical treatments that are put on the skin every morning or evening. Topical treatments definitely have their merits, but the truth is that these treatments can only permeate the skin so deeply. Topical treatments are not able to get to the root of the problem of wrinkles. XEOMIN® and Dysport® are actually able to stop wrinkles right in their tracks because they inhibit the muscles that cause the wrinkles.
Wrinkles are the result of facial expressions. Even children have wrinkles. The areas at the outer corners of the eyes, the forehead, and the area right in between the brows fold and crease. However, when a person is very young, their skin is resilient and very healthy. So as soon as the muscles are not contracted, the skin goes back to being soft and smooth.
Because we make so many facial expressions throughout our lives, our skin gets folded and creased every day. And because our skin wears over time, it gets thinner and cannot spring back as effectively as it could before. This is where XEOMIN® and Dysport® come into the picture. These products actually relax the muscles that cause wrinkles. This means that the skin around the eyes, between the eyebrows, and on the forehead is able to stay smooth.
The treatment times for both products are actually very short. In most cases, an individual is in our office no longer than an hour for their first session. Our staff will ask you questions about your health and your goals. Afterward, we will help you determine which treatment is right for you. Neither XEOMIN® nor Dysport® requires any downtime; both come into effect shortly after they are administered, and the results of both last for months.
Topical treatments do not tackle wrinkles at the core. XEOMIN® and Dysport® can de-crease your appearance and help your face regain its youthful glow. If you are interested in learning about your candidacy for these treatments, reach out to Springs Aesthetics to schedule an appointment! You will be able to meet with our doctor who will examine your wrinkles, ask questions about your health, and then set you on the path to having smooth and wrinkle free skin.
