What are the types of facial injections?

Now is an era of pursuing beauty. Everyone pursues beauty in different ways, but in general, most young women want to have a beautiful face, so if there are some flaws on their face, they will choose to have plastic surgery. There are many ways of facial plastic surgery. If there are sunken parts or it feels not full, injection plastic surgery will be used. So what are the forms of injection plastic surgery?

The main types of facial injections are:

1. Collagen injection: Collagen can make epidermal cells plump, making the skin moisturized, smooth, tender and elastic. As we age, the collagen in the skin decreases, so facial collagen injection is particularly important. In daily life, collagen is mainly used to treat skin problems caused by aging, especially for facial firming, lifting, wrinkle removal, and depression filling.

The unique hydroxyproline in collagen has the function of tightening connective tissue, which can firm loose tissue, support sagging breasts, and make breasts upright, plump and elastic. This is also a unique beauty effect of collagen.

2. Hyaluronic acid injection: As people age, the hyaluronic acid in the skin is gradually lost, and the moisture in the skin is also lost. The skin gradually loses its elasticity and luster, appears very dull, and wrinkles are formed. Injecting hyaluronic acid is a common cosmetic method. The specific method is to inject hyaluronic acid into the facial dermis to repair deeper wrinkles. In addition, hyaluronic acid is also effective in repairing small scars caused by acne or other reasons. Hyaluronic acid is also widely used in lip augmentation, chin augmentation, and rhinoplasty.

3. Botulinum toxin injection: Botulinum toxin has the effect of removing wrinkles because it can inhibit the release of acetylcholine in the presynaptic membrane of peripheral motor nerve endings, blocking the information transmission between nerves and muscles, thereby causing flaccid paralysis of muscles. It is understood that using botulinum toxin to remove wrinkles, general crow's feet, forehead wrinkles and neck wrinkles can be removed.

Although injection plastic surgery does not require surgery, it still falls within the scope of medical behavior and involves medical risks. The injection products used must be guaranteed, the purchasing channels must be regular, and the injection location and dosage must be accurate, otherwise it will cause harm to the person seeking beauty, or even disfigurement.

On March 27, 2012, a media reported: Because some illegal products have a three-year incubation period, 2013 may be the year of a major outbreak of "micro-plastic surgery complications." Xue Hongyu, deputy director of the Department of Plastic Surgery at Peking University Third Hospital, said: "There is no scientific basis for the claim that injection plastic surgery has a three-year validity period. From a clinical point of view, if there is a problem with the injection, there is no need to wait three years. It can happen at any time."
