Dermatologists Say These Wrinkle Creams Actually Work

We even tested some ourselves to see if they were worth the hype.

This picture is a good example of what to expect after Botox. I think this is a very realistic photo because the woman can still move her forehead and it show how it won't completely get rid of all your wrinkle, it just helps them look less noticeable.

This site explains Botox it's self more clearly for people considering it. Also, in my option it makes people think that wrinkles are bad and need to be "fixed" when there is nothing wrong with them in the first place.

From the moment the needle goes in until the chemical's finished doing its thing.

Wrinkles are like the hiccups-annoying and kind of inevitable. But unlike hiccups, which my husband and I discovered could be cured with a teaspoon of sugar (true!), wrinkles don't just go away.

So when I first propositioned my husband about the idea of me getting a bit of Botox for the furrowed brow I've earned from a decade of writing and editing behind a computer screen, he was adamantly against it. And frankly, I was a bit scared too. I mean, isn't Botox poison? As an idealistic 21 year old, it was easy to say that I'd never put that stuff in my body, that "poison." Now, I'm not so sure.

But being the science geek that I am, I figured a little self-serving journalism could do my husband and me good-and perhaps put an end to the argument of whether to go under the needle or not. Honey, take a read to find out exactly what happens when you put Botox in your body, so we can at least make a more educated decision. Please?
Botox is a neurotoxin, which sounds scary, but is perfectly safe-as long as it's made and administered by a licensed professional.
Botox is a drug made from a neurotoxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum called botulinum toxin. "It's a poison secreted by the bacteria," plastic surgeon Norman Rowe, M.D., tells SELF. Botulinum toxin has proven to be a successful and valuable therapeutic protein when dosage, frequency of treatment and variety of treated clinical conditions are considered, according to Howard Sobel, M.D., a dermatologist in New York. Basically: when it's done right. When it's done wrong-like, really, really wrong-it can cause "botulism-like symptoms," according to Mayo Clinic, which may include muscle weakness, trouble breathing, speaking or swallowing, bladder control issues, and vision problems. That is "very unlikely," but a more than convincing enough reason not to go bargain hunting for Botox.

It comes in powder form, and your doctor dilutes it with saline to make it an injectable. By using saline, they're also "watering it down," effectively taking out any noxious capabilities. So you're good. (And no, Ben, saying it's poisonous isn't correct nor an effective reason to make me not go under the needle.)
The chemical kicks into action, blocking nerve transmission in nearby muscles, effectively freezing the area.
After the injection moves from the dermis and into the desired muscle, the nerves there are blocked-rather, their synapses, are blocked-by the Botox. So even though your brain my fire and signal for your body to move a particular muscle, Botox effectively blocks that firing and keeps the muscle from moving. The injected muscle can no longer contract, which causes the wrinkles to relax and soften, and also helps prevent new ones from forming.
The effect remains localized, though.
Botox stays only where injected, it does not roam through the body. "If I inject it in your face, it's not going to work [or show up in] your toe," says Rowe. "It does not have a systemic effect." However, it may migrate up to 3 cm from where it was injected. But even if some molecules were to go into the bloodstream and travel to distant sites in the body, the cosmetic doses (typically less than 100 units) used are significantly lower than the toxic dose that would be harmful systemically (2,500-3,000 units).
It won't make the area go numb.
"You may say, 'Why is it that I'm injecting myself, but it doesn't block my feeling? I can feel it when I touch my face, though.' But that's because there are two different types of nerves in the body," Rowe tells SELF. "One type makes motion, and ones that give you feeling. Botox only blocks the synapses of the former kind," he says.

Do Chemical Peels Really Make A Difference?

# data[].attributes.body
This website is very informative in understanding what chemical peels are about. It also didn't make the person looking at this website feel like they needed to get this done.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Peels are a popular cosmetic procedure in Toronto. Peels are a quick, simple, and safe procedure with nice results and minimal down time.

Many people are scared of peels because of the images of burned faces of many years ago. However, chemical peels have been around for many years, and they are today a safe and non-invasive treatment option for acne, acne scars, aging and sun damaged skin. Our skin care professionals can guide you in selecting the right peel for you.

Chemical peels are a technique used to improve the appearance of the skin. A chemical solution is applied to the skin that causes it to peel off the top layers and allows new skin to regenerate. The new skin is smoother and less wrinkled than the old skin, and may also be more even in colour.

Millions of chemical peels are performed each year. Dermatologists have used various peeling agents for decades and are experts in performing all types of this procedure.

Today, with the public's increasing interest in rejuvenating skin and slowing the effects of the aging process, chemical peeling has emerged as an exciting anti-aging procedure.

Results of chemical peels may also be enhanced by new laser/light-based rejuvenation techniques. A thorough evaluation by your medical esthetician is necessary before choosing a chemical peel program.

What can a chemical peel do?

Chemical peeling is used to treat fine lines, especially under the eyes and around the mouth. Wrinkles caused by sun damage, aging, and hereditary factors can be reduced or even eliminated with this procedure. However, sags, bulges, and more severe wrinkles do not respond to peeling and may require other kinds of cosmetic surgical procedures. One of our medical estheticians can help determine the most appropriate type of treatment for each individual case.

Mild scarring and certain types of acne may also be treated with chemical peels. In addition, pigmentation of the skin in the form of sun spots, age spots, liver spots, freckles, blotchiness due to taking birth control pills, and skin that is dull in texture and color may be improved with chemical peeling. Areas of sun-damaged skin and scaling patches may improve after chemical peeling as well. Sunscreens and sun blocks must be used in conjunction with chemical peels in order to decrease the chance of the reappearance of lesions.

How are chemical peels performed?

The procedure may be performed on the face, neck, chest, hands, arms, and legs. Superficial, medium, or deep chemical peels may be used to improve damaged skin. As a rule, the deeper the peel, the longer the recovery time. Your medical esthetician will recommend the best peel for your skin problems.

A chemical peel is usually performed in a dermatologist's office. The skin is thoroughly cleansed with an agent that removes excess oils, and the eyes and hair are protected. One or more chemical solutions such as glycolic acid, trichloroacetic acid, salicylic acid, retinoic acid, lactic acid, or phenol are used. Your medical esthetician will suggest the proper peeling agent based upon the type of skin damage present and desired results.

During a chemical peel, the solution is gently applied to the skin. The application produces separation and eventually peels off layers of skin (sometimes visible, but many times invisible or "micro" peeling), enabling rejuvenated skin to appear.

During the procedure, most patients experience a warm to hot sensation that may last about five to ten minutes, followed by a stinging sensation. A deeper peel may be more painful and require medication during or after the procedure.

What should be expected after treatment?

Depending upon the type of peel, there may be a mild to severe sun burning sensation. Superficial peeling usually involves redness, followed by scaling that can last three to five days, though many patients experience "micro" peeling where minimal peeling is seen with the naked eye but still occurs at the microscopic level.

Medium-depth and deep peeling can sometimes result in swelling and blisters that may break, crust, turn brown, and peel off over a period of 7 to 14 days or longer. Some peels may require surgical tape to be placed on part or all of the skin that is treated.

It is important to avoid overexposure to the sun immediately after a chemical peel since the new skin is fragile and more susceptible to injury. The staff at the Toronto Dermatology Centre will provide you with appropriate follow-up care to help the skin heal.

What are the possible complications?

In certain skin types, there is a risk of developing a temporary or permanent color change. Birth control pills, pregnancy, or a family history of brownish discoloration on the face may increase the possibility of developing abnormal pigmentation. Persistent redness may also occur and can last for months.

Although very low, there is a risk of scarring after chemical peels. If scarring does occur, it can usually be treated with good results. There is a small incidence of the reactivation of cold sores or herpes simplex infection in patients with a history of fever blisters. Prior to a chemical skin peeling, it is important for a patient to inform the medical esthetician of any past history of keloids, unusual scarring tendencies, extensive radiation to the face, or recurring cold sores, for proper precautions to be taken.

What are the limitations of chemical peels?

Chemical peels cannot remove loose or sagging skin since they cannot eliminate the gravitational forces that produce the loose skin. A facelift, brow lift, laser/light-based skin rejuvenation, or other procedures may be required.

Chemical skin peeling does not remove deep scars. Dermabrasion, laser resurfacing or non-ablative laser therapy, punch grafting, punch elevation, subcision, scar excision, or soft tissue fillers may be much more effective for scars and should be discussed with your medical esthetician.

While chemical peels cannot change pore size or remove broken blood vessels on the face, the procedure may improve the appearance of these conditions.
