O uso de toxina botulínica e bioestimuladores de colágeno no rejuvenescimento facial

Abstract

Several endogenous and exogenous stimuli influence the skin aging process, with emphasis on photoaging, oxidative stress and the inflammatory response. With the decrease in collagen and elastin, wrinkles appear, which for many people generate an impact on self-esteem, which drives an increasing search for facial rejuvenation procedures, such as the use of Botulinum Toxin (TB) and Collagen Biostimulators. The application of TB for aesthetic purposes is a quick procedure with minimal recovery, with increasingly efficient and highly accepted results. When injected intramuscularly, it inhibits the release of acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction, resulting in temporary localized chemical denervation of the target muscle. Microbotox consists of applications made in the dermis, with greater dilution of the neurotoxin, it affects only the superficial muscle fibers, resulting in a more natural appearance when compared to full face botox. Another procedure widely performed among women and men, and which promises more prolonged rejuvenating effects is the application of collagen biostimulators, among them: calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHA), poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) and polycaprolactone. They are applied to the deep dermis and stimulate the body's own collagen production, replacing the structural support lost during aging and gradually improving skin sagging, thus restoring lost facial volume. Both techniques present excellent and satisfactory results in the aesthetic environment, becoming increasingly popular treatments, and that when performed in a safe and professional way, with technical knowledge of application and dosage, anatomical and with the correct performance of the individual anamnesis of each patient, adverse effects or intercurrences are easily avoided.
