Stop Looking your Age with Botox

By Craig Nevilt


Botox, under prescription, can be used to smooth away the frown lines between the eyebrows, and other facial wrinkles, that men and women get in middle age. 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.

Avoid this treatment if you are allergic 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?

The skin's wrinkles normally form right next to a muscle that is close to, and normally beneath, it.The Botox restricts nerve impulses from reaching the tissue that causes the wrinkle. The skin supported by the muscle stops being creased by constant expression contractions by this limited or no muscle movement. Inhibited muscle contractions means that lines and wrinkles stop forming. As a result, with fewer wrinkles and frown lines the person has 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 skin is smoothed, causing facial lines to diminish, because the muscle therefore relaxes.

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.

After the Treatment

The first thing you need to do following your procedure is to try to exercise your treated muscles for one to two hours. You should practice raising your eyebrows, squinting, and frowning. 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.

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. Moreover, do not ingest Advil, Tylenol or vitamin D after the procedure.

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

If you decide to have a Botox treatment, make sure whoever is doing it is trained specifically in this procedure. This type of treatment is a medical procedure, and should be seen in this way.
