For hyaluronic acid and botulinum toxin, beauty lovers are by no means unfamiliar with them. Many people know that hyaluronic acid can augment the nose and chin, and botulinum toxin can slim the face and legs. But many people do not know that they have a common feature – to remove wrinkles! However, the way they remove wrinkles is not the same. So here’s the question! Can hyaluronic acid and Botox be injected at the same time? Hyaluronic acid and Botox are highly sought after as the magic weapons in the world of microdermabrasion. However, many people do not know whether they should use hyaluronic acid or Botox for wrinkles on their face? Or would it be better to use both together? Hyaluronic acid or Botox Hyaluronic acid and Botox are both non-invasive products used for wrinkle reduction, what is the difference between them? To make a simple analogy, if wrinkle reduction is to smooth out a wrinkled paper, hyaluronic acid is used to make the paper absorb water and flatten it, while Botox is used to pull the paper apart and flatten it. Hyaluronic acid is a transparent gel-like substance that exists in large quantities in the connective tissue and dermis of the human body, and is widely found in nature in the connective tissue of vertebrates, mucus tissue, the lens of the eye, and the intercalated membrane of certain bacteria. Hyaluronic acid is injected into the dermis or subcutaneously to achieve the effect of wrinkle removal or shaping! Does this description make you a little dizzy? In fact, it translates into a diagram like this: in the world of microplasticity, hyaluronic acid is called the “holy grail of beauty”, it can not only moisturize the skin to replenish the needed moisture, but also fill the sunken areas of the face to play the effect of filling and shaping; injected into the wrinkles, it can remove wrinkles and make people more youthful. The main principle of hyaluronic acid to remove wrinkles is that it is used to fill the depressions of the skin or to fill the contours of the features, stimulate collagen regeneration, make the face more three-dimensional, and achieve the effect of wrinkle removal. Hyaluronic acid is good at: getting rid of static wrinkles Indications: nasolabial lines, corners of the mouth, decreases in wrinkles, etc. Botulinum toxin dynamic wrinkles Botulinum toxin is a neurotoxin that can block neuromuscular conduction and make muscles paralyzed and lose contraction function to improve dynamic wrinkles produced by making expressions. The main principle of botulinum toxin is to soften the muscles that cause wrinkles, so that the muscles do not contract and the wrinkles are removed as a result. The advantages of Botox wrinkle removal: Botox injection has the advantages of small damage (local injection is possible), quick effect (2-3 days after injection), easy operation (injection process is usually less than 10 minutes), and reversible effect (natural recovery). Botox is good at: removing dynamic wrinkles Indications: Kawasaki lines, crow’s feet, head lines, etc. Hyaluronic acid + Botox For deep wrinkles, injection is the fastest and most effective way, obviously, Botox and Hyaluronic acid can be used in combination. The injection levels of hyaluronic acid and botulinum toxin are different, as botulinum toxin needs to be injected into the muscle layer, while hyaluronic acid is usually injected into the dermis, and botulinum toxin is used first to reduce the depth of wrinkles, and then hyaluronic acid filler is used to fill the wrinkles, which is more accurate and effective, and the effect lasts longer. However, not all areas and items can be used. Generally speaking, the most common areas on the face are the frown lines between the eyebrows, deep head lines, and crow’s feet, and these areas often have both dynamic and static wrinkles!
