Overview: The most popular cosmetic injection treatments include Hyaluronic acid,collagen and Botox. Hyaluronic acid absorbs about 1000 times its weight of water and as a result is good for plumping of lips. Collagen is a good filler and provides elasticity to collagen deprived skin, a condition which increases with age.Botox is used for facial wrinkles and in particular expression wrinkles. Injections have both pro and con attributes. The positive side is immediate results the negatives consist of expense and discomfort although microneedles have mitigated the latter.
Injections particularly Botox usually last for up to three months on the average. Topical creams lotions etc. are used daily and for some treatments twice daily. Needles inject actives directly into the site of action, thus efficacy one established is almost guaranteed. Topicals by contrast needed to be formulated with specialized delivery systems in order to penetrate the stratum corneum and deliver the actives to elicit efficacy. The challenge is to understand the mechanism of biological action first before tailoring the formula. The Botox mechanism will be discussed in detail providing an example. Botox injections are costly while creams topically applied are considerably less costly. The primary advantage of injections is rapid results; however newer topical polypeptides are closing the gap in time for creams etc.
Why should you Attend: Cosmetic injections particularly in the facial area are not well tolerated by all people.Cosmetic Creams which are effective are proving to be of value over and in conjunction with injections for most common cosmetic conditions.
