If you have a problem with how your skin looks, it can be fixed. Botox, Juvederm, Restylane, and more products on the market can help. They are all called dermal injectables, and each one has its own purpose.

Botox can be used to eliminate lines and wrinkles in the forehead, neck, and around the eyes. The procedure typically takes less than thirty minutes, and you can likely go to work right after it's done. There is very little recovery time required. Botox actually paralyzes the facial muscles into which it is injected, though the effect lasts only about four months. This means that if you don't like the effect, it will wear off with very little risk of permanent damage.

Juvederm is known to get rid of laugh lines and any other lines that surround the mouth, and can also add fullness to the lips. Any wrinkles are smoothed over by pushing previously sunken skin up by adding volume underneath. It can last about nine months, and is made of hyaluronic acid, which naturally occurs in the body. It acts like a sponge to attract and hold in water for the ultimate moisture and volume. If you want to use only the most natural products on your body, Juvederm could be the best treatment for you.

Restylane also restores volume to eliminate wrinkles and undereye hollows, and includes hyaluronic acid, as well. When injected under the skin to reduce wrinkles, it can last up to six months, and when used to make lips fuller, it lasts about nine months.

You can expect some redness and swelling for about two days after treatment and sometimes bruising will occur for a week. Otherwise, the recovery period is fast, and only topical anesthetic will need to be applied before treatment.

Any doctor can administer Botox, Juvederm, Restylane and other soft tissue fillers, which is why the dangers of each vary. If you do not do some research on your selected doctor first, you might have problems no matter which filler you choose. Most of these products can be given without incident by experienced doctors, so make sure yours has your best interests at heart before the procedure.

Having trouble choosing between Botox, Juvederm, Restylane, and similar products is understandable. They share many similarities and all strive to do the same thing. Comparing the possible risks, recovery time, and length of time each one lasts is advised before you commit to one.
