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.

If you have an allergy to any of the ingredients of Botox, you should not consider this treatment. 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, little muscle movement results in the skin supported by the muscle stopping being creased by constant expression contractions. Inhibited muscle contractions means that 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. The nerve signals to the muscles under the skin are blocked by the Botox when it starts working. The muscle becomes relaxed and the skin smooths, which makes facial lines diminish.

The skin might be a bit red and sore after the Botox Injection Treatment, but this is normally minor and goes away after a few days. A patient can usually return to work the same day, right after leaving the clinic. It may take up to a week to maximize the full effect, but the treatment usually starts to work within 3 days.

Post-Treatment

Try to exercise your treated muscles for one to two hours following your procedure. You should practice squinting, frowning and raising your eyebrows. This assists the Botox to work into your muscles. While this can help, it won't impact your results negatively if you forget or don't have the time to do it.

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.

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

Make sure whoever is doing your Botox treatment is trained specifically in this procedure. These treatments must be viewed as the medical procedures they are.
