There are several techniques to remove the barcode. The most
important include:
BOTOX (botulinum toxin)
Botox is derived from a bacterium. It has several uses, in
addition to smooth out wrinkles, it is used to treat excessive sweating of the
hands and armpits (Hyperhidrosis).
Botox is excellent to make less visible wrinkles above the
lip. A syringe with a very fine needle is used to apply it to prevent damage to
the skin. This paralyzes and relaxes the muscles and not allow these
stretching, which is in that moment occur when when the wrinkles.
The results are excellent and it may look smooth skin without
wrinkles in the area of the lips. This effect lasts approximately 4 months and
must be to inject the toxin past that time to keep the results. The application
of botox is not painful, due to that the needle is very thin, only occur some
discomfort by prick. The surgeon will apply ice to reduce these nuisances.
This treatment has side effects that can last a few weeks,
among them can produce symptoms similar to influenza, pain, swelling, headache,
stomach upset... Anyway, to be small amount of botox which should be injected,
these symptoms are likely to not appear.
Laser
The treatment is called Yag Laser and delivers fantastic
results in just one session without having to suffer pain or discomfort.
After having protected the eyes of the patient, the surgeon
local anesthesia and using a machine that sends pulses of power over the area
above the upper lip. The objective of these energy pulses is vaporized the
first layer of skin and thus remove soft wrinkles. After the meeting zone will
be swollen and very red, but with the passing of the days a new skin will form
and the redness will go desapariendo.
It is important to avoid exposure to the Sun during the post
operative.
The yag laser renews the skin without applying any other
product. It is ideal for the wrinkles that are just beginning to appear above
the upper lip. If you have more wrinkles in the face you can take advantage of
the session and remove all the wrinkles at the same time.
Facial massage
Those wishing to remove the barcode without making a
surgical treatment can be done with massage in the area. Clarify that the
results are not even similar to those who provide previous treatments.
In the massage you can use a cream with lifting effect for
better and faster results. Apply the cream in the area. With clean hands, place
thumbs inside the upper lip and finger index gently pulling outward. Repeat
this massage for 15 minutes, every day.
It is important to be consistent, as we say, the results are
not as satisfactory as most professional treatments, but if you realize that
massage every day you can get some good results over time.
