Do wrinkle-reducing treatments work on true wrinkles?
Generally, wrinkle injections work by injecting specific materials into depressed areas to achieve a filling and repairing effect, such as hyaluronic acid, collagen, and botulinum toxin type A for injection. The general reference price for wrinkle injections ranges from 1,000 to 6,000 yuan per session, and some improvement is usually noticeable within 3-7 days. Whether wrinkle injections are effective for true wrinkles mainly depends on the severity of the wrinkles. For mild true wrinkles, injection of wrinkle-relief agents may yield certain results, while for severe true wrinkles, the effects of wrinkle injections are often unsatisfactory. A detailed analysis is as follows:
If the true wrinkles are mild, with shallow depth and skin elasticity not completely lost, the effect of wrinkle injections under a doctor's guidance may be relatively ideal. Injecting materials such as hyaluronic acid, collagen, and botulinum toxin type A into the skin can stimulate collagen regeneration, thereby improving localized true wrinkles and helping the skin regain smoothness and a natural appearance.
However, if the true wrinkles are severe, with deeper and more extensive wrinkles, simple wrinkle injections may not be very effective. Although wrinkle injections can stimulate collagen regeneration, when true wrinkles are severe, injecting the above materials into the skin cannot completely flatten the skin surface and may even cause uneven skin texture. In such cases, improvements can be made through dietary collagen supplementation, massage, and other methods.
It should be noted that wrinkle injections carry certain risks and should be performed at正规 hospitals to ensure safety. Additionally, post-operative care of the wound is important, and early touching of the treated area with hands should be avoided.
