Facial Fillers
To date the FDA officially lists twentyone approved products for cosmetic applications in the United States, nineteen of which entered the market since 2002. The underlying substances provide a longer lasting clinical effect without the risk of allergic reactions. This relatively large number of different facial fillers results in quite a bit of confusion of patients and physicians alike. We may safely assume that further products will be approved in the future with a potential increase of said confusion. It thus of some importance that you a a consumer / patient acquire some basic understanding of the commonalities and differences between fillers to make rational choices among them.
Botox
Botox is the trade name of the first commercially available preparation of botulinum toxin A (henceforth BTN-A). It is the miracle drug par excellence in aesthetic medicine, plastic surgery and neurology. Botox is so popular in aesthetic medicine because it predictably works each and every time. It is a medication in the real pharmacological sense of the word. Like a blood pressure pill lowers the blood pressure if taken as directed by the doctor, Botox decreases facial wrinkling if injected correctly by a knowledgeable plastic surgeon. Like any other medication, Botox has to be reapplied at certain intervals to maintain its effects in facial rejuvenation and anti-aging.
Medical Skin Care
From the standpoint of treatment in medical skin care and the necessary products there are exactly five things you can do for your skin. All rational and effective skin care products as well as more intense treatments such as resurfacing by dermabrasion or chemical peeling aim to influence one or more of these five factors. There is nothing more that can be done with topical (externally applied) products. These five pillars of rational medical skin care are cleansing, protection, hydration, exfoliation and stimulation.
Lip augmentation
Although the overwhelming majority of lip augmentations is performed with injectable fillers, there are other, less well known methods, which may be equally or more effective. Clients may not be aware of them and unless properly counseled by a plastic surgeon experienced in all of them their choice of treatment options may be very restricted indeed.
