When it comes to cosmetic treatments for the signs of aging, Botox injections are an effective solution to forehead wrinkles, brow creases, crow’s feet, and facial lines.
However, there are other cosmetic products that you can use in addition to having Botox injections. We’ve listed some of them below.
Vitamin C/E/Ferulic
C E Ferulic is now proven to reduce combined oxidative damage generated by UVA/UVB rays, ozone pollution, and diesel engine exhaust by up to 41%. In addition to antioxidant protective benefits, C E Ferulic reduces the signs of aging and photodamage, the appearance of lines and wrinkles, as well as the loss of skin firmness, while brightening the complexion.
Intensive Lines by Skinbetter
This product is used for patients who have deeper lines on the forehead, as Botox can only help the dynamic wrinkles or the wrinkles worsened by movement, and not the stationary lines or the lines and creases that are seen when there is no movement. If used daily, Intensive Lines by Skinbetter can produce results that are similar to fillers, helping to further soften the appearance of wrinkles and crease lines. It has these ingredients:
- Patented, state-of-the-art delivery technology that drives high molecular weight, as well as injectable-grade hyaluronic acid faster to topically fill the appearance of expression lines.
- Four additional types of hyaluronic acids of varying molecular weights that work to bind water to the surface of the skin in order to improve moisture retention and reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles.
- A collagen-nourishing complex of an amino acid building block, messenger peptides, and vitamin C that work synergistically to support collagen.
- A blend of two neuro-calming peptides that help smoothen the appearance of expression lines instantly.
AlphaRet by Skinbetter
This revolutionary product combines two gold standard skin rejuvenation ingredients—retinoid and lactic acid—to create a revolutionary double-conjugated retinoid. The product also delivers these amazing benefits:
- Reduces the appearance of wrinkles in as little as four weeks, with little-to-no irritation.
- Provides moisture to help counteract dryness associated with traditional retinoid-based products.
- Neutralizes free radicals, thanks to a nourishing blend of antioxidants.
Retinol products
Prescription vitamin A has a byproduct called tretinoin, which is FDA-approved as a treatment for wrinkles and acn
collagen—a protein that promotes skin elasticity, thus keeping the skin tight and plump. Retinol also improves the turnover of skin cells.
Retinol-containing products can be purchased over the counter. Alternatively, you can get a prescription from your doctor. Retinol can also increase your sun sensitivity, so try to stay out of the sun or make sure to wear sunscreen when using retinol products.
At least three days after your Botox injections, use retinol products every night for radiant skin. Retinol is less effective in sunlight.
Primer
A primer is used to prepare your skin for the application of a makeup. Primers won’t remove facial creases, but they can reduce their visibility. Primer is available in inexpensive cream, gel, or powder forms.
After your Botox injections, wait from twenty minutes to four hours before putting on makeup. Apply the makeup gently, and don’t massage your skin for at least a day.
To keep enjoying rejuvenated skin, you should also eat healthy, drink lots of water, exercise regularly and quit smoking. In addition to using cosmetic treatments, you should also work from within and adopt stress management techniques such as meditation and yoga.
