A millimetre here, a millimetre there can be the difference between ordinary and beautiful – so why not?
Botox is a muscle relaxant and is most commonly injected to improve the appearance of crow’s feet lines at the outer edge of the eye and to improve sagginess between the brows. A few days will elapse before the Botox takes full effect and then it will last about three months. Wrinkles and creases won’t necessarily entirely disappear – I would describe the result as a softening and blurring of the crow’s feet lines and a wonderful “lift” effect between the eyes, opening up the whole eye and brow area. An amazing effect. You will love this instant transformation.
Filler is quite different from Botox; it is a substance injected into facial creases and wrinkles to plump and smooth. Various products are used – my cosmetic clinician uses Restalyne and once again I would describe the result as a blurring and softening and plumping of lines and creases. Filler can also be used to enhance the cheeks and will take away droopy flesh under the eyes. I just adore this result, but bear in mind that your eyes may look slightly deeper set than usual. As well as dealing with marionette lines, chin creases and various wrinkles elsewhere on the face, the best known use of filler is to plump the lips and define the edges – another big favourite of mine. Filler will also take away the deep crease that often appears between the eyes around age 60 and with luck one treatment will last for a few years.
My filler (Restalyne) lasts for several months – it will last longer in some areas than others. if you think that the effect is not lasting long enough, ask your clinician if she can adjust the strength.
I have been a fan of injectables for 20 years, starting in my 50’s and consider the results to have been age appropriate at all times during those 20 years. I visit my cosmetic medical clinic about once every nine months. The procedure takes about one hour and costs me between $1,500.00 and $2,000.00. I consider this money well spent. To quote from my recently published book “HEALTH & BEAUTY TIPS FOR WOMEN AGED BETWEEN 60 & 80”
It is more beneficial to your appearance to have a good figure and face than expensive clothes.
Important Tips:
Filler and Botox give a natural and subtle, very attractive look to the face. The added millimetre here and millimetre there will create beauty and you are bound to be thrilled to bits.
Do you agree with this advice? Are botox and filler ideal ways to bring about beauty with age? Have you (or anybody you know) tried it?
