Stop Looking your Age with Botox

By Craig Nevilt


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

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. You also should inform your physician before a treatment if you have any issues that affect your breathing such as asthma.

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. The person gets a more youthful look as a result, when frown lines and other wrinkles are reduced.

Using Botox injections for wrinkles is non invasive and the procedure is usually carried out in approximately 20-30 minutes. The practitioner injects a small amount of Botox into the site to be treated. As the Botox starts working, it blocks the nerve signals to the muscles under the skin. The muscle becomes relaxed and the skin smooths, which makes facial lines diminish.

The Botox Injection Treatment may leave the skin a bit red and sore, but this is usually very minor and will reduce after 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.

After the 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 raising your eyebrows, squinting, and frowning. This assists the Botox to work into your muscles. If you forget or don't have the time to do it, it won't impact your results negatively, but it can help if you do 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. Within a few hours they will go away.

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.
