Which anti-aging injectable is right for you?<\/h2>\n

\"botox<\/p>\n

Injectable anti-aging treatments have become an increasingly popular alternative to surgery for a variety of reasons.\u00a0 Here are some things to be aware of before deciding to seek out one of these treatments.<\/p>\n

A survey was conducted of\u00a0 2,500 physicians that perform cosmetic procedures by Medicard Financial, a Canadian company that focuses on funding cosmetic procedures. They found that injectable treatments like Botox, and fillers like Restylane and Juvederm were among the most popular cosmetic treatments for aging.\u00a0 In Canada in 2005, 126,554 injections of filler were administered as well as 142,374 doses of Botox.<\/p>\n

The survey revealed that the majority of people receiving these injections were women who lived in Ontario, British Columbia and Quebec.\u00a0 72% of recipients were between 35 and 50 years of age, with the majority of the remainder being between 19 and 34.\u00a0 At the time of the survey, women accounted for 83.5% of injectable anti-aging treatments, but the number of men seeking these treatments has been increasing.<\/p>\n

Here is what you need to know about non-surgical anti-aging treatments to help you decide which one is best for you.<\/p>\n

Botox<\/h2>\n

Treatment with Botox uses an ultra fine needle to inject a minute amount of purified protein made by the bacterium clostridium botulinum into the face. The injection weakens the tiny muscles in the face,\u00a0 inhibiting facial expressions and the fine lines they cause.<\/p>\n

Botox is typically injected into the glabellar muscle where it minimizes the lines between the eyebrows. It is also sometimes used to diminish lines on the forehead, around the eyes to reduce crows feet, around the corners of the mouth and in the muscles of the neck.<\/p>\n

The effects of Botox typically wear off after about three or four months.\u00a0 When injected by a doctor or nurse, the cost is about $10 per injection.\u00a0 Expect to pay more, around $15 to $17 if you go to a dermatologist or cosmetic surgeon.\u00a0 Forehead lines may need anywhere from 12 to 16 injections to get rid of the lines.\u00a0 The area between the eyes could take as many as 30 injections.\u00a0 Crow\u2019s feet will take 12 to 15 injections for each eye for women, 25 to 30 injections for men.<\/p>\n

Botox is fast outpatient procedure with no recovery time.\u00a0 In and out of the doctor\u2019s office in about twenty minutes, you could have it done on your lunch hour and still have time to grab a bite.\u00a0 The sensory nerves are unaffected, so there is no numbness or tingling in the area.\u00a0 Botox requires no anesthetic or sedation as there is very little or no pain, due to the very fine needle used to administer the injections.\u00a0 It might feel a little like getting bit by a bug.\u00a0 Common side effects include bruising and a short-lived headache.\u00a0 Other potential side effects include a bit of swelling or redness, both of which are temporary.<\/p>\n

Restylane<\/h2>\n

Restylane is a type of naturally sugar produced in the skin and other cells.\u00a0 Hyaluronic holds water much as a sponge, helping to hydrate the skin and improving the volume and density of cells.\u00a0 The body\u2019s stores of hyaluronic acid declines as we age and as a result of exposure to hormones, medications and ultraviolet rays.<\/p>\n

Restylane is used to smooth out wrinkles, highlight eyebrows, fill in the area under the eyes, plump up lips and upper cheeks and smooth laugh lines between the nose and mouth, and highlight the profile in the area of the cheeks, jaw and chin.\u00a0 Restylane can also be fill acne scars, hide jowls and subtly change shape or symmetry of the face, softening a bulbous nose or filling in a ski-jump dip in the profile of the nose.<\/p>\n

There are several factors that affect how long Restylane treatments will last.\u00a0 How much is injected is one major factor.\u00a0 Another is the location of treatment.\u00a0 When Restylane is injected closer to bone, it lasts longer.\u00a0 Lip treatments usually last about six months, while treatment for laugh lines may last nine months.\u00a0 Cheek augmentations usually last even longer.\u00a0 Restylane is expensive, starting at $1,000 and can run as high as $2,500.<\/p>\n

Restylane is not an animal product, so there\u2019s no risk of contracting disease and allergic reactions are rare.\u00a0 Restylane can be used on any skin type and treatments have immediate results and some areas of the face only need one treatment.\u00a0 Restylane is also made in half-vial doses that are great for touching up the upper life or for fine lines in areas with little fat.\u00a0 Common side effects include redness and swelling that may last for a few days, but should be gone in a week.\u00a0 Treatments around the lips may result in a bit more swelling than other types of treatments.<\/p>\n

Juvederm<\/h2>\n

Juvederm is a hyaluronic acid similar to Restylane, but it is manufactured using a different filtration process and different techniques to manipulate the molecules.<\/p>\n

Juvederm is used to treat moderate to severe wrinkles, lift the upper eyebrows, fill hollows under the eyes, plump lips and cheeks and accentuate the outline of the chin and jaw.\u00a0 Like Restylane, it can also be used for minor reshaping of the nose.<\/p>\n

Juvederm lasts six months or more and cost of treatment starts at $1,000.\u00a0 Each vial costs between $550 and $700.\u00a0 Lips can usually be done with one vial and the area between nose and mouth usually require one for each side.\u00a0 Cheeks may take as many as three vials for each side.<\/p>\n

Juvederm\u2019s benefits are similar to those of Restylane.\u00a0 It is not an animal product, so risk of disease, allergic reactions are rare and it can be used on any type of skin.\u00a0 Swelling and pain are minimal.\u00a0 Side effects are also comparable to other injectable anti-aging treatments and include redness, swelling or bruising, all of which are temporary.\u00a0 Reports of nerve or blood vessel injury are rare, but have occurred.<\/p>\n
