Injections of hyaluronic acid and botulinum toxin both have wrinkle-removing effects, but the effect of face-lifting is not obvious.
The difference between the two:
Hyaluronic acid:
Hyaluronic acid is composed of disaccharide units (glucuronic acid
-N-
Linear chain polymer polysaccharide composed of ethylthioglucosamine) is a naturally occurring substance in tissues. Hyaluronic acid is abundantly found in the connective tissue and dermis of the human body. It is a transparent gel-like substance with a powerful moisturizing function. 1 gram of hyaluronic acid can absorb 500C.C of water, which is equivalent to 500 times the water absorption capacity of glycerol. It is widely found in the connective tissue, mucus tissue of vertebrates, the lens of the eye and the membrane of certain bacteria in nature. It plays an important role as a matrix in the dermis of human skin, whether it is the overall maintenance of the tissue structure. Or transport between cells all have very important functions. According to different maintenance times, hyaluronic acid is divided into small particles and large particles.
Botulinum toxin:
Botulinum toxin, also known as botulinum endotoxin, is a bacterial endotoxin secreted by the deadly botulinum bacilli and is highly toxic. Botulinum toxin acts on the cholinergic motor nerve endings, antagonizing the action of calcium ions in a certain way, interfering with the release of acetylcholine from the motor nerve endings, preventing muscle fibers from contracting and causing muscle relaxation to achieve the purpose of wrinkle removal and beauty. The more toxic it is, the more toxic it is. , the better the wrinkle removal and beauty effect.
