Get a Younger Looking You 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. And common sense dictates that you shouldn't go ahead if there is an infection in the skin surrounding the area being injected. 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. Lines and wrinkles stop forming when muscle contractions are inhibited. As a result, with fewer wrinkles and frown lines the person has a more youthful look.

Botox injections is used for wrinkles as a non-invasive procedure that takes less than half an hour. 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 skin is smoothed, causing facial lines to diminish, because the muscle therefore relaxes.

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 return to work the same day, right after leaving the clinic. Within 3 days the treatment usually starts to work, but the full effect may take up to a week.

Post-Treatment

After your procedure, the first thing you need to do is try to exercise your treated muscles for one to two hours. Squinting, frowning and raising your eyebrows should all be practiced. This helps work the Botox 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.

Avoid rubbing or massaging the treated areas and, for 4 hours after the treatment, do not do yoga, heavy lifting or any type of strenuous exercise. 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 disappear in 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.
