- Working Theory
At present, the high-tech hyaluronic acid used for medical cosmetic injection is very similar to some hyaluronic acid in human body, and it can be gradually absorbed and dissolved by body after injection. Hyaluronic acid uses hypodermic injection to fill where sags.
Botox is a neurotoxin, which blocks the release of acetylcholine and nerve transmission to muscles, when injected locally, so that the muscles atrophy. After the injection, overdeveloped muscles can be relaxed.
- Treatment Scope
Hyaluronic acid is specifically targeted at static wrinkles, which are not related to expression, such as nasolabial fold. In contrast, Botox focuses on dynamic wrinkles, such as crow’s feet, glabellar frown lines and forehead wrinkles.
- Time of Resulting
Hyaluronic acid results can be seen immediately after injecting to wrinkles. However, results of botox injection can be seen after 10-15 days, and results best in 2-4 months.
- Lasting Time of The Results
The results of Hyaluronic acid injection last for 6-10 months, and the effects of Botox last for 4-6 months. Of course, time differs according to individual metabolic capacity, injection site and molecular size.
