Botox and fillers: what they are, what they are for and how to avoid the horrors of celebrities!
Italians give up on holidays but not to be beautiful and fit.
If 6 million people do not go on vacation, the number of those who spend on beauty and aesthetic medicine increases. With over 950,000 treatments in a year, Italy rises to 4th place in the world (it was 9th in 2015), as emerges from the 2017 ISAPS Report (International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery) published last June. The treatments most loved by Italians - according to a study carried out by the Syneron Candela Research Center - are primarily those to combat cellulite, followed, precisely, by those to reduce wrinkles and sagging of the skin.
But to prevent skin aging before it is too late (and the cosmetic surgeon is the only solution to regain a more youthful appearance), the advice of a good dermatologist can also be useful, because healthy skin certainly has more tools. to combat the effects of the passage of time.

Aesthetic touch-ups: expert advice
For clear and safe information on botox and fillers, we asked an expert: Dr. Erminio Mastroluca, Plastic and Aesthetic Surgeon and scientific referent of Syneron Candela.
What is the difference between botox and filler?
“The differences are remarkable. Meanwhile, botox is a drug while the filler is a medical device. The first is used in the upper third of the face (eyes and forehead) to smooth out wrinkles. The result will begin to be visible after 3 days with the maximum result at approximately two weeks. The duration is estimated from 4 to 6 months. The filler on the other hand is a filler. An example is hyaluronic acid. It is used to give volume to different parts of the face. Thanks to the new molecules we can perform a real face lifting. Without a scalpel. The duration is estimated from 6 to 12 months and varies according to to the molecule used ".
How can we avoid disastrous results?
«I believe that the secret is to choose serious and qualified professionals who are able to say no to the absurd requests of many patients. Furthermore, the "use of cutting-edge materials and the development of increasingly refined injection techniques allows us to achieve truly natural results".
What can we expect from botox-based interventions and what from fillers?
«Botulinum toxin refreshes our eyes. Let's dispel the myth of the "paralysis" result. If well done, it relaxes the periocular wrinkles, commonly referred to as crow's feet, and raises the eyebrow. The filler, and more precisely hyaluronic acid, is, on the other hand, a filler. The molecule allows us to give turgor to the cheekbones, softness to the chin and a femininity to the lips. A current use of hyaluronic acid is on the nose for the correction of hump (hump). The injection technique is called rhinofiller. Without surgery, in some cases, we can achieve an incredible result. All without exaggerating, with grace. Because no woman needs to be changed. There is only room for improvement that can be implemented. Nothing more".
