How Botox and dermal fillers can help you look like a wag!
There is only so much wearing the right clothes and make-up can do for your appearance and if you are still not happy with how you look, then you may want to consider a non-surgical cosmetic procedure such as Botox or Dermal fillers. The aim of both these procedures is to improve your appearance in the least invasive way possible, meaning there is no recovery time needed after the procedure.
What are exactly are Botox and dermal fillers and how do they work?
Botox: Botox is actually a toxin that is produced by bacteria under laboratory conditions. Botox works by stopping the transmission of signals within targeted nerves in our body. In order to improve our appearance, Botox is often injected into the nerves the supply the frown muscles within our forehead. This effectively paralyses these muscles and causes our frown lines/wrinkles to significantly reduce, improving our appearance considerably! Botox can also be used to treat crow’s feet and also to enhance our lips, a term commonly known as Botox lips. A fuller lip pout is something which WAGS strive for and this is why they often have Botox. Botox normally lasts for around 4 months and side effects of Botox are extremely rare. Just take care in choosing an experienced as practitioner and one who has all the relevant qualifications, otherwise you could end up with that ‘frozen face’ look which you may have seen in magazines when Botox goes wrong!
Dermal fillers: Dermal fillers last slightly longer than Botox and are better at addressing any ‘volume issues’ you have with your face. Dermal fillers are often used by WAGS to enhance their cheek bones, increase volume of their lips and ‘fill in’ cheek and chin dimples. The dermal filler material is effectively injected under the skin to increase volume in that area. There are many types of fillers and different fillers are used depending on what it is that is being treated. Restylane is one of the most common dermal fillers and helps stimulate the body’s own production of collagen, which results in a longer lasting effect. Dermal fillers typically last longer than Botox and some people will find the results last up to one year. They are extremely safe and dermal filler side effects are only rarely seen. A skilled dermal filler practitioner will significantly improve your appearance while still ensuring that your look is ‘natural’. Dermal fillers are now becoming the treatment of choice for WAGS as they produce amazing results whilst still looking natural.
Although Botox and dermal fillers do not guarantee you will look like a WAG they can significantly improve your appearance! It is important that you realise that the effects do not last for ever and your appearance will return to what it was previously after you were first treated. For this reason, when calculating the cost of the procedures you need to factor in whether or not you will be having the procedure repeated.
