Wrinkles

Injectables such as Botox ® and fillers can tackle wrinkles and volume loss that occur as a result of aging in a simple way. During the aging process, human faces age in numerous ways. Simply put, this ends up with every part of you face shrinking except for your skin. As time goes by the skull slowly loses bone mass, resulting in a smaller head. The process continues as numerous layers of muscles in the face begin shrinking. Simultaneously, the formerly youthful pads of fat under your skin lose mass and with the aid of gravity, move downward. To make matters worse, the skin does not follow this shrinking trend: it tends to become roomier and loses elasticity instead. This results in less “filler material” ( volume loss ) under the skin. Less filler and a shrinking bone structure can be likened to a tent which begins luffing because the tent poles are becoming shorter. Wrinkles and folds such as crow’s feet, deepened nasolabial fold and marionette lines are the result. The Amsterdam Kliniek can help.

The degree and speed with which a person ages, can be influenced by numerous causes. Internal factors, such as hormonal changes and genetics, will definitely have an effect. However, external influences are just as important: sun damage, smoking and pollution greatly impact the skin. As we grow older, pigment spots often appear, making the face look even more aged Injectables is a term used to describe substances that are applied by injection such as botulinum toxin (Botox®), fillers and Restylane Skinboosters. These can soften wrinkles and compensate for volume loss.

The Amsterdam Kliniek only works with top quality and effective medical cosmetic products. In the past, many cosmetic doctors used permanent fillers. Unfortunately, these fillers have caused numerous complications. For this reason, the Amsterdam Kliniek only uses non-permanent products. This may mean that a treatment will need to be repeated, since it will wear off in the course of time.

Certain medical conditions prohibit the use of injectables. During the free facial analysis prior to any cosmetic medicine treatment, your eligibility for injectables will be determined.

Many wrinkles are caused by skin laxity as well as volume loss of bone mass and fat pads under the skin. This can easily be corrected by injecting a filler.  After treatment wrinkles will become less visible or even disappear.
