A treatment with the use of botulinum toxin is currently the most popular method which aims to smooth out mimic wrinkles and to achieve a relaxed, refreshed face appearance. Botox is also used in bruxism (teeth grinding related to the nervous system) and hyperhidrosis treatment. However, it is not the only substance used in the aesthetic medicine in order to improve the face appearance. Therefore, what are the alternatives to botulinum toxin?
Aquashine BTX mesotherapy
Needle mesotherapy enables to provide active substances directly to the dermis using puncture. Aquashine PTX preparation that constitutes a good alternative to Botox, since it is inspired by effects of botulinum toxin, can be used for this treatment. A properly designed peptide cocktail relaxes mimic muscles without blocking the nerve conduction. Thanks to the muscle relaxation, the wrinkles are smoothed out and the skin has a possibility of regeneration.
Aquashine PTX filler enables to correct discolorations and ensures hydration thanks to properties of water retention presented by sodium hyaluronate. Moreover, the effects of mesotherapy remain reinforced by the hyaluronic acid and peptides content that stimulates collagen synthesis. The effects of Aquashine last up to 12 months.
PDO threads
PDO threads are one of the most efficient treatments for wrinkles. Properly applied, they weaken mimic muscles and at the same time have an impact on regeneration and reconstruction of the skin through stimulation of collagen and hyaluronic acid production. An additional advantage of this method is its action time. The effects last even for 7-8 months (this is the time for which the threads remain in the skin).
Currently, many types of lifting threads are available, whereas the choice of the proper ones depends above all on the expected effect and the client’s skin condition. One of popular types are Intraline threads made of entirely absorbable material presenting lifting and revitalising properties. One of their ingredients is L-lactic acid that stimulates the natural revitalisation of the skin and slows down the aging processes.
Barb 3D, 4D and 6D threads are also an interesting choice. It is the most recent type of lifting threads that is characterised by occurrence of numerous hooks mounted on the entire surface of the fibre that open only after implementation. Thanks to this property, these unique threads made of polydioxanone create a solid scaffolding for droopy tissues. By using BARB lifting threads, it is possible to improve face oval, rise up the eyebrows, lift up droopy cheeks or make the skin of the face firmer.
NUCLEOFILL – lifting at the cellular level
Nucleofill is a preparation for a deep regeneration and biostimulation of the skin, elaborated on the basis of natural polynucleotides. Biostimulation of the skin consists in the stimulation of its own regeneration capacities – the regeneration of the skin occurs in fact thanks to natural processes. In the case of products being biostimulators, the effect increases over time and the therapy requires a series of treatments.
What effect can be expected? These will be above all 3 aspects:
- Lifting – stimulation of the type I collagen and elastin production process, which causes skin thickening and lifting,
- Antioxidant effect and elimination of free radicals.
- Hydration – water bonding by polynucleotides and ensuring long-lasting hydration of the extracellular matrix, thanks to which the skin becomes hydrated, firm and flexible.
In order to achieve the maximal effect, it is recommended to carry out 4 treatments at intervals of 15 to 30 days. What is important, the effect of the treatment with application of Nucleofill preparation lasts up to 18 months.
