The cosmetic advantages
There is no doubt that anti-wrinkle injections are now more popularly used as a cosmetic treatment. However, it was developed originally to treat medical conditions such as migraines and excessive sweating or hyperhidrosis. But in terms of cosmetic advantages, it’s readily apparent, and you may already know some of these advantages. For example, with the treatment, you can reduce the appearance of wrinkles and lines on the face, and the results are immediate – you should be able to notice a big difference in just a few days, with the overall results much more apparent in around two weeks.
The psychological advantages
The psychological benefits are closely associated with cosmetic and medical benefits. Since your skin looks better, firmer, and plumper, and you look younger, you can feel better as well. Knowing that you look good can give your self-confidence a real boost, and it can lift your mood and mindset. The same is true for those who go for anti-wrinkle injections because of a medical issue like hyperhidrosis; for instance – they no longer have to deal with the embarrassment caused by their condition, and their self-esteem is enhanced.
The medical advantages
In terms of medical advantages, there are more than a few! As mentioned, anti-wrinkle injections are ideal for treating hyperhidrosis, which affects more people than we may realise. Too much sweating isn’t welcome in many situations, and the treatment addresses the condition and contributes to a much better outlook for that person’s physical and emotional health. It’s also used for migraines, and those with migraines can benefit from the treatment as experts believe that the injections block the nerves from signalling pain to the brain. Migraine sufferers have reportedly experienced a significant reduction of headaches, and even when they still experience pain, it has dramatically decreased. Anti-wrinkle injections are also much better than painkillers that often come with specific side effects.
Anti-wrinkle injections are also helpful for other conditions, such as weakness of the bladder, pain in the joints, eye issues (blurred vision, spasms of the eyelids, and even crossed eyes), and scars.
Other advantages
Another aspect that makes anti-wrinkle injections the cosmetic treatment of choice is that they are non-invasive. The treatment can take as little as 30 minutes, which has made people refer to it as a lunchtime treatment. There may be a slight prick once the injection goes in, but it is relatively pain-free. Also, anti-wrinkle injections are temporary, lasting for around four to six months, making them much less drastic (and a lot less expensive) than permanent cosmetic surgery!
