For people hoping to remove a few years from their face, anti wrinkle injections are becoming increasingly popular. Each type of injection will effectively remove wrinkles, but uses different formulas and methods. These formulas and methods include using toxins to freeze nerves in the face and “filling in” wrinkles with gels and chemical fillers. There is no miracle chemical that can remove wrinkles permanently from your face, but with all the available injections, you don’t have to keep the wrinkles either.

The most recognizable name in anti wrinkle injections today is Botox. Derived from bacteria and made into a chemical toxin, Botox paralyzes the tiny nerves in your face, preventing the muscle contraction that causes wrinkles. Most users have found that Botox has been most effective on crow’s feet, forehead wrinkles and temple wrinkles. Users have found Botox to be less effective on frown lines. Users should not expect immediate results, as the Botox usually takes 2 – 3 days to fully take effective. Each injection lasts 3 – 4 months.

Restylane is an anti wrinkle injection used in the same capacity as Botox, though it is hyaluronic acid filler instead of a paralytic. Created from a germ and originally used for lip augmentation, Restylane is now a leading name in wrinkle removal. It not only removes crow’s feet, laugh lines and frown lines, but can remove the look of the deep hollows beneath the eyes. Wrinkles and lines are removed by having Restylane injected under them. It takes 2 – 3 days to recover from the injection, and lasts twice as long as Botox.

Juvederm is one of the newest injectable wrinkle fillers on the market, and is a gel. The effects of Juvederm are nearly identical to those of Restylane, removing crow’s feet, laugh lines, frown lines, under eye hollows. It is often used in lip augmentation. Juvederm is also used to fill in scars on the face. Juvederm’s edge in the market is gained by its popularity with physicians. Juvederm is considered easier for the doctor to use and a more pleasant experience for the patient. Juvederm injections last 6 – 9 months.

As with any medical or cosmetic procedure, side effects are possible. Most side effects reported are temporary redness, pain during injection, and swelling and bruising at the injection site. The main component in Restylane and Juvederm is derived from a substance found in animal muscles, and users with allergies are advised to not use them. A serious possible side effect of anti wrinkle injections is an immune system reaction resulting in facial lumps and bumps, or granulomas. Anti wrinkle fillers should not be used if you have a history of anaphylaxis.
