Botox has long been
a trusted therapeutic choice for non-cosmetic use. Over
10 years ago, the Canadian government approved Botox for the
treatment of opthalmic disorders associated with muscle overactivity
such as misalignment of the eyes and contractons of the eyelids.
Since then, it has also received approval to relieve a variety
of conditions involving hyperactive muscles-including cerebral
palsy in children.
Botox is the most
common Cosmetic procedure in North America (American Society
for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery), used by more than 500,000
men and women.
Botox injection
should be repeated every 3-4 months.
Restylane Facts
Restylane is the
only product to utilize NASHA, or Non-animal, Stabilized,
Hyaluronic acid. Q-Med, the manufacturer of Restylane
for Medicis Aesthetics in North America, has a long record
of success with many satisfied users. More than 1.5
million treatments have been carried out in 60 countries around
the world.
Hyaluronic acid
is one of very few substances that is identical in all species
and tissue types. Thus, it can be used in many applications
such as restoring youthful resilience to your skin by simply
adding to your natural supply.
As a totally non-animal
product, there is no risk of transmitting disease or eliciting
allergic reaction in patients who are senstive to common foods,
such as beef, chicken and eggs. Because Restylane is
non-animal-based and fully biocompatible, allergy testing
is not required.
Restylane filler
should be repeated every 6-12 months.
Botox and Restylane
together potentiate each others effect, with longer-lasting
better results.
