Stop Looking your Age with Botox

By Craig Nevilt


To smooth away the frown lines between the eyebrows that both men and women get in middle age, and for other facial wrinkles, Botox can be used under prescription. Most often it is used to smooth out lines. When people feel the lines on their forehead make them look tired or even angry, they choose this type of cosmetic improvement.

You should not consider this treatment if you have an allergy to any of the ingredients of Botox. If there is an infection in the skin surrounding the area being injected, common sense dictates that you shouldn't go ahead. If you have any issues that affect your breathing such as asthma, you also should inform your physician before a treatment.

How does it work?

Wrinkles in the skin are usually formed right next to a muscle that will be close to it, normally beneath it. When Botox is injected into those muscles then it restricts impulses made by the nerves getting to the tissue that is causing the wrinkle. The skin supported by the muscle stops being creased by constant expression contractions by this limited or no muscle movement. With inhibited muscle contractions, lines and wrinkles stop forming. The person gets a more youthful look as a result, when frown lines and other wrinkles are reduced.

Botox injections is used for wrinkles as a non-invasive procedure that takes less than half an hour. A small amount of Botox is injected by the practitioner into the site to be treated. The nerve signals to the muscles under the skin are blocked by the Botox when it starts working. The skin is smoothed, causing facial lines to diminish, because the muscle therefore relaxes.

One normally minor side effect from the Botox Injection Treatment is slightly red and sore skin for a few days. Usually on the same day, a patient can leave the clinic straight away and return to work. It may take up to a week to maximize the full effect, but the treatment usually starts to work within 3 days.

Post-Treatment

After your procedure, the first thing you need to do is try to exercise your treated muscles for one to two hours. You should practice squinting, frowning and raising your eyebrows. This helps work the Botox into your muscles. This can be helpful, but if you forget or don't have the time, it won't impact your results negatively.

Be careful not rub or massage those areas that have been treated and do not do yoga, heavy lifting or any type of strenuous exercise for four hours after the treatment. And, after the procedure, don't take Advil, vitamin D, or Tylenol.

If you see some tiny bumps or marks on your face after the procedure, do not be concerned. They will go away within a few hours.

If you choose to have a Botox treatment, be sure your practitioner is specifically trained in this procedure. These treatments must be viewed as the medical procedures they are.
