The modern cosmetic industry from all over the world is developing the ideal tool to solve the problem of fading youth.

Such a remedy has not yet been invented, but there are already substances and developments that help stop the appearance of wrinkles, as well as eliminate environmental influences that affect the loss of freshness and youth. This result is also achieved from the use of a cream with the effect of Botox - a real discovery in the field of the cosmetic industry for the face. But he, of course, is not ideal. However, cosmetologists around the world do not lose hope of discovering a perfect drug that will completely stop the aging process in skin cells and will be an ideal tool in the fight against age.

Instead of injections and scalpel

Most women are ready to make many sacrifices for the sake of beauty and youth, which is why not the most pleasant, but quite effective “beauty injections”, Botox injections, and surgical facelifts appeared. But there is also that category of ladies who are terrified of pain and any unpleasant procedures, but still do not want to give up the dream of looking beautiful. It is these women who are actively looking for an alternative, and modern pharmaceutical and cosmetology companies are happy to provide it.

Reviews

It is recommended to read some reviews from people about the procedure for injecting Botox into the area around the eyes:

SNEZHANA, 45 YEARS OLD:

“I was afraid to get an injection with botulinum toxin, but still decided to try. I carefully chose a cosmetologist, studied information about Botox around the eyes, looked at the before and after photos.

The procedure was quick and almost painless. Already on days 5-6, the folds became noticeably smaller, and later the fine wrinkles disappeared completely.”

OKSANA, 33 YEARS OLD:

“I decided to please my mother. She is 54 years old. After the injection I looked 15 years younger. She tolerated the procedure well and couldn’t be happier with the results. Wrinkles have become almost invisible. Now mom has decided to go for a second session when the effect disappears.”

Botox effect - what is it?

Many women who are not versed in medical subtleties will be very surprised that the smoothness of the skin and the absence of wrinkles after Botox injections is due to nothing more than muscle paralysis. Sounds sure

It’s scary, but in reality this is true, which is why the “mask effect” occurs when, after injections of this drug, facial expressions are practically absent.

The mechanism of action of botulinum toxin, which is injected subcutaneously, is the destruction of a special protein that transmits nerve impulses to muscles. That is, for example, you are made to laugh, the brain gives a command to the muscles responsible for laughter to contract, but it simply does not reach them. Due to this, expression wrinkles are smoothed out.

“Botox” products are relevant for women under 45-50 years old; for older women, the effect of these products will be insufficient!

The idea of ​​delivering botulinum toxin to tissues without injections, but through cutaneous application, of course, arose a long time ago, but, unfortunately, this turned out to be impossible. The thing is that the main function of our skin is to prevent substances from the outside from penetrating inside, that is, as a barrier. The molecules of botulinum toxin A are so large that they are not able to pass through this protection. It was this fact that forced cosmetologists and pharmacists around the world to look for an effective alternative.

Rehabilitation period

The big advantage of the botulinum toxin injection procedure is that it has a short and easy recovery period. To get a good result, a person must follow these rules:

1. For 4 hours you should not lie down, but remain in an upright position. Otherwise, the drug may be distributed unevenly.
2. It's better not to drink alcohol. Drinking alcohol may reduce or enhance the effect of the drug.
3. Do not touch the areas where the drug was injected.
4. During the day it is better to forget about cosmetics. This also applies to various creams. The exception is antiseptic cosmetics prescribed by the doctor.
5. It is prohibited to combine botulinum toxin with antibiotics and some other medications.
6. It’s worth forgetting about the solarium, sauna, and visiting the pool for a while. High temperature and high humidity will not do any good.

Alternative to botulinum toxin

Scientists have not been able to synthesize substances that could completely block the transmission of neuromuscular impulses, but to find those that could cope with the task at least partially - yes! These compounds are peptides, which are 2 or more amino acid residues. They cannot destroy the protein that is involved in the transmission of neuromuscular impulses, but, being similar in structure, they partially replace it, which leads to some myorelaxation (muscle relaxation).

Peptides are of two types:

1. Synthetic origin.
2. Of natural origin.

The first include Argireline, Acetylheptapeptide, Pentapeptide Leufasil, Octamioxyl, Matrixil. The second includes hibiscus seed extract (the product “Mioxinol” was created on its basis) and even snake venom.

I would like to note that there are cases when there is no effect at all. This happens if the patient is not sensitive to the main substance (botulinum toxin type A). Alternatively, you can increase the dose. If in this case there is no effect, then you will have to look for an alternative to this rejuvenation method.

Today, the introduction of Botox and other analogues is a popular rejuvenation procedure.
The effect is wonderful. The main thing is that an immobilized face is a side effect that is already in the past. Today, experts have created various techniques that make it possible to obtain a face with normal facial expressions. The main thing is to go to highly qualified doctors. The procedure for administering botulinum toxin to the area around the eyes can rejuvenate a person, remove crow’s feet, bags under the eyes, and drooping upper eyelids.

But before you decide to have an injection, you need to study the information about it in detail. It is also important to find a good specialist, because the future success of the procedure depends on him.

The most “bright” representatives

Time dictates its conditions, and of course, almost every pharmaceutical and cosmetology company that is fighting for world leadership, after the discovery of “super peptides,” was simply obliged to develop its own cream with the Botox effect. At the moment, there are many different products in this category, but the following are recognized as the most popular and effective of them:

1. Botox cream "Botess" from. In addition to the Argireline peptide, it contains natural elements and a vitamin complex that have a rejuvenating effect
2. Cream from French cosmetologists “Botorelax”. This product is also rich not only in peptides, but also in hyaluronic acid and collagen.
3. Gatineau Defi Lift 3D Eye Contour Lift is a cream with a Botox effect to get rid of crow's feet and other signs of photoaging of the skin around the eyes. In addition to Botufix, this product contains a powerful moisturizing complex. Also, the manufacturers of this product promise to save you not only from wrinkles, but also from dark circles and swelling.
4. EVE cream from Thailand with Botox effect. In addition to peptides, it contains natural python fat, which is naturally rich in collagen.
5. Cream with Botox Botosess system from Mediderma (Spain). It not only causes muscle relaxation, but also protects against the harmful effects of sunlight and activates metabolic processes in tissues.
6. Botorelax cream from Academie (France). It promises not only to smooth out wrinkles, but also to activate cellular respiration and give the face a healthy, radiant appearance.
7. A company from Israel, Holy Land cosmetics laboratories, provided customers with Boldcare super capsules for one-time use. Their use promises an instant effect, and the contents are only 1 piece. should be enough for all problem areas.

All these creams with the Botox effect are very popular, but what advantages do marketers highlight over a real course of injections?

Some consequences after the procedure

Each cosmetologist is obliged to warn his patient about possible side effects or complications that may appear after the injection.

Unfortunately, not all experts tell people about this. But, nevertheless, after the injection of botulinum toxin into the eye area, the following side effects may appear:

• slight swelling;
• the occurrence of tolerable pain;
• the skin turns red and acquires a bluish tint.

These effects are short-lived and disappear after a few days. The occurrence of side effects is directly related to the individual characteristics of the human body.

In some cases, more serious consequences appeared. After the procedure, patients complained of increased body temperature, headaches, nausea, and changes in heart rhythm, but these also disappear after a certain period of time.

Introducing the product into the eye area is a complex procedure that requires a highly qualified doctor.

If the technique is violated or the drug is administered incorrectly, then the patient may face complications. The following unpleasant cases have been recorded in medical practice:

• drooping upper eyelid or eyebrow area;
• the face was not symmetrical;
• facial expressions were disturbed;
• It became difficult for a person to close or open his eyes, which provokes severe tearing.

The main thing is that the procedure is carried out correctly. Otherwise, you may experience asymmetry or sagging of the eyelid.

Plastic surgeon Douglas Henstrom

As reviews of the botulinum toxin drug for wrinkles around the eyes show, these serious consequences rarely occur, and the culprit for their occurrence is mainly the doctor who made a mistake during the procedure.

Advantageous differences from youth injections

Of course, devoted fans of injection cosmetology will say that Botox injections will bring better results than any muscle relaxant cream, and they will be partly right. After all, a course of injection gives an immediate effect, which, after the initial procedure, lasts for at least 6 months. But with each subsequent course, its duration will be reduced, and in 3-5 years it can reach 3 weeks or less. Creams, despite their less pronounced effect, are not addictive.

Many women, and even men, would love to give themselves a gift and make an appointment with a cosmetologist for injections, but their financial situation leaves much to be desired. Considering the significantly smaller

the cost of the cream is what customers with low incomes purchase.

In addition, creams completely eliminate the likelihood of getting a bad result due to the lack of professionalism of the cosmetologist performing the injections.

We must not forget that there are a number of contraindications to Botox injections (pregnancy, blood system disease, lactation, vision problems, eyelid hernias), but creams can always be used.

The cream may cause individual intolerance, so before the first application to the face, it is advisable to perform a skin test on the inside of the forearm!

Add to all these factors some pain from the injection and you will understand why muscle relaxant creams are so popular lately.

Contraindications (5 prohibitions)

If you follow certain rules and take into account contraindications, you can reduce the risk of side effects.

CONTRAINDICATIONS

1. when a woman is carrying a fetus and is in the lactation period;
2. if a person has encountered colds (this is especially true for diseases that provoke an increase in temperature);
3. if chronic pathologies have worsened;
4. if a person cannot tolerate the constituent components;
5. if inflammation or skin disease appears in the injection area.

It is worth noting that this procedure is contraindicated during pregnancy, but no studies have been conducted on this topic. There have been cases when a pregnant woman went for Botox injections, not knowing that she was pregnant. As a result, the babies were born healthy. But it’s better not to risk it and postpone the procedure.

Rules of application

In order for the cream to be fully effective, it is important to use it correctly. So, the algorithm for applying a product from any manufacturer is the same:

• facial skin cleansing;
• Apply a small amount of product to the skin of the face and neck;
• light massage of problem areas for better diffusion (penetration).

In addition, it is important to know that it is not advisable to use the cream for 2 months or more. It is best to apply it morning and evening for 50 days, after which switch to a regimen of once every three days.

While using the products in this line, avoid using drugs containing fruit acids, as they destroy the active components of Botox creams

For what reasons do wrinkles form?

Probably every woman dreams of eternal youth. But why do wrinkles appear on the skin as we age?

Their occurrence is influenced by the fact that over the years the body produces less collagen and other important substances. In addition, active human facial expressions provoke the appearance of folds, because every day we have to experience a variety of emotions.

At a young age, the skin is elastic, which protects it from unwanted wrinkles. Over the years, it becomes less elastic and elastic, so creases appear.

Botulinum toxin can reduce them. And you can achieve excellent results using Botox around the eyes, as evidenced by reviews with photos before and after the procedure.

“Super cream” or a cunning move by marketers

Despite the tempting promises of manufacturers, people who understand biochemistry claim that all advertised peptides, unfortunately, are simply unable to cause a lasting effect. Only a small proportion of them reach the deep layers of tissue, but even those of them are destroyed within a couple of hours after application. That is why all “Botox” products can come in handy before an important event, when you really need to look younger and more attractive.

Clients who have been using these care products for a long time claim that barely noticeable, shallow wrinkles are still smoothed out under the influence of the cream. However, experts associate this effect not so much with “youth peptides”, but with a complex of vitamins and moisturizing components. Some cosmetologists even offer their patients a bold experiment - to apply Botox cream to 1 half of the face, and a high-quality moisturizer to 2. Within a couple of months it will become obvious that there are practically no differences in the appearance of the skin.

But at the same time, it is a proven fact that the use of Botox series products prolongs the effect of the course of injections. Therefore, as an auxiliary skin care product after using botulinum toxin, or simply for daily hydration and nutrition, these creams are great.

Do you still want to try muscle relaxants for the face? Then give preference to those sold in pharmacies or branded stores, because nowadays it is very easy to come across a fake. Also, before using them, it is best to consult with your cosmetologist; he will help you choose the most suitable and effective option for your skin.

Question answer

To achieve a positive effect, you need to carefully choose a clinic and doctor. Don’t be afraid to ask for surgeons’ diplomas, certificates, or find out about the license of a medical institution. The price of one unit of Botox is about 300-400 rubles. But the procedure itself will require more than one unit of product, which will determine the final cost. To eliminate wrinkles in the eye area, on average, doctors use about 5-15 units on one side. Their number is selected individually for each person, taking into account the condition of the skin and age.

This happens due to the consumption of too salty foods and alcohol. This unpleasant consequence is also encountered if the dosage has been increased. Seek medical attention if swelling persists for more than a week.

Often, the effect quickly disappears if a person undergoes this procedure frequently (more than 2 times a year). In addition, this can happen if a small dose of botulinum toxin was used.

"Home" option

There is no money for an advertised brand, but you really want to feel the Botox effect? At home, you can prepare a remedy that is almost as effective, but at the same time 100% natural.

1. Take egg white, oatmeal and water in equal quantities. The egg white should be thoroughly beaten, the water should be heated slightly, and all ingredients should be thoroughly mixed. Apply the resulting mixture to your face for 20 minutes.
2. Take 1 small potato, grate it on the finest grater, add 1 tsp. any vegetable oil. Apply the composition to problem areas for 15 minutes. Wash your face and use nourishing cream.
3. Add 15g of starch to 50 ml of water and cook over low heat until thick. Cool, pour 2 tbsp into the mixture. freshly squeezed carrot juice and 1 tsp. sour cream. Apply to facial skin for half an hour, rinse.
4. For 100 ml of warm water, take 15 g of wheat flour, brew until thick sour cream, pour in 100 ml of cold water, after 15 minutes, drain all the water. Beat half the egg white with 2 g of salt until foamy and add 20 ml of vegetable oil, pour the resulting solution into the flour mixture. Apply the mask to your face for 30 minutes.

Despite the loud statements of world-famous cosmetic companies, it cannot be said that Botox creams can be compared with the “progenitor” of their name. Injection Botox for the face, of course, gives a more pronounced result than even the most modern muscle relaxants, but at the same time, their use has undeniable advantages. Everyone chooses the most suitable option for their skin, but it is advisable to do this in tandem with a cosmetologist. Then the result will not keep you waiting long, your skin will always be tightened, radiant and fresh.
