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. It is most often used in order 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.

Avoid this treatment if you are allergic to any of the ingredients of Botox. And common sense dictates that you shouldn't go ahead if there is an infection in the skin surrounding the area being injected. Before a treatment, tell your physician if you have any issues such as asthma that affect your breathing.

How does it work?

Usually, wrinkles in the skin form beside a muscle that is close to it, normally beneath it.Botox injected into those muscles restricts nerve impulses going to the tissue that is causing the wrinkle. So, limited or no muscle movement means that the skin supported by the muscle stops being creased by constant expression contractions. With inhibited muscle contractions, lines and wrinkles stop forming. As a result, frown lines and other wrinkles are reduced, giving the person a more youthful look.

Botox injections is a non-invasive procedure that is often used for wrinkles, and it takes less than 30 minutes. The site to be treated receives an injection of a small amount of Botox. As the Botox starts working, it blocks the nerve signals to the muscles under the skin. The muscle therefore relaxes and the skin is smoothed, causing facial lines to diminish.

One normally minor side effect from the Botox Injection Treatment is slightly red and sore skin for a few days. A patient can usually leave the clinic straight away and return to work the same day. 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 will 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.

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

And don't be concerned if you see some tiny bumps or marks on your face after the procedure. They will disappear in a few hours.

If you choose to have a Botox treatment, be sure your practitioner is specifically trained in this procedure. This type of treatment is a medical procedure, and should be seen in this way.
