Once upon a time, when people started to develop wrinkles, there wasn’t much they could do about it.  They simply accepted the fact that they were getting old.  Nowadays, having wrinkles is no longer a sorry fate that people simply have to accept without a fight.  It is now possible to recapture your lost youth thanks to the great advances made by science and medicine.

A wrinkle filler “erases” existing wrinkles albeit only temporarily.  It is actually an injection that contains any one of the three—Botox, collagen and even your own fat.  Although the procedure is fairly simple, it still requires you to be psychologically prepared for it because it involves changing something on your face. Do not start asking yourself questions that would make you think twice about the benefit it would give you.  Avoid pondering on questions such as, “What’s wrong with me, why am I doing this?” or “Isn’t this going a bit too far?”  Focus on the positive.  Tell yourself that it will make you feel better about yourself.

After you have decided to push through with this plan, you need to find a medically attestedplace staffed with experienced and certified specialists to do the job.Make sure that they have done this procedure many times before and that these have been successful.  Take a look at a portfolio of their clients showing before and after pictures to give you an idea of the quality of the work they do.  Take special note of the after pictures and how the clients look as that’s probably how you would look yourself.

During your consultation with your doctor, ask him about which wrinkle treatment would be best for you.  If you will be getting a Botox or collagen injection, you would have to take some allergy tests to find out if your body will reject it or not.  However, if you will be injected with body fat, there’s no need for these tests.  Be ready to wait as these tests can take a long time but keep in mind that this part is necessary to ensure the safety of the client undergoing the procedure.

If you want to have a Botox treatment, there are a few things you need to know about it.  Botox is short for botulinum toxin A.  It is a protein produced by the same bacteria that causes food poisoning.  What it does is it paralyzes the muscles used in making facial expressions.  Because you are unable to make those facial expressions, your wrinkles, which are a result of these expressions, begin to fade.  According to doctors, a Botox treatment can also cure migraines and muscle spasms.  The whole procedure takes about 30 minutes.  The effects will start to manifest in one week lasting for about 4 months.  Now if you want to maintain that wrinkle-free look, you would have to get another injection.

Botox only eliminates expression wrinkles but a collagen-based wrinkle filler fills all types of wrinkles.  Before getting collagen injections, you need to undergo allergy testing which will take up a lot of time.  The reason being that the collagen used is derived from cows and many bodies reject it.

Generally speaking, a fat injection is than a collagen or Botox injection although it varies from person to person.  One advantage of it is that there is no longer a need for allergy tests.  The fat used may be taken from your belly, buttocks, or hips and is injected directly into your wrinkles.
Injections which contain your own fat are safer and sometimes the effects last longer than the ones after collagen or Botox treatment but that varies from person to person. It also doesn’t need any allergy tests so it can be made right after your consultation. The fat is taken from your belly, hips or buttocks and injected right into your wrinkles.

Pain is nothing to worry about because the needle used is very small and fine.  You will practically feel nothing as you are being injected.  After the shot, there will be redness and swelling.

Do not think that just because the procedure involved in this type of treatment is simple, you can walk into any clinic that offers it and get it done.  Make sure a legitimate doctor does it and not just any charlatan because the consequences can be severe.  There are actually people who have died from this treatment because they got the wrong person to do it.
