Botox: The #1 Wrinkle Treatment
Botox is injected in small doses into specific muscles, which then blocks the chemical signals that cause muscles to contract. When the muscles are temporarily paralyzed and cannot tighten, the skin flattens and appears smoother and less wrinkled. The full effects of Botox injections can be seen in 5-7 days and last from three to six months. Although the results are temporary, Botox treatments have gained popularity not only in the U.S., but throughout the world because of its simplicity and fast results.
Botox is a widely popular wrinkle buster, but it has lots of other benefits too. It has become a non-surgical alternative, and is an anti-aging miracle. The Botox injections can be injected in between the eyebrows and on the bridge of the nose areas where there are frown lines, or at the corners of the eyes where crow=s feet begin to appear, or at the forehead to remove the crease, or even on the neck to eliminate the skin bands on your neck. However, Botox must be avoided to treat the lines around your mouth because muscles in this area are needed for eating and talking.
Other than a wrinkle treatment, Botox can also be used to treat several health conditions, such as headaches, backaches, eye muscle problems, muscle spasms and excessive sweating. It can reduce your prostrate and remove your square jaw, making your face more oval shape as well.
Botox injections are safe when performed by an experienced doctor, who must be aware about any medical conditions you have, or any medications you take. But it does have its share of side effects. These include: pain and bruising at the injection site, redness, headache, twitching of the eye, muscle weakness, facial pain, temporary eye-lid droop, squint/double vision, flu-like symptoms, nausea, temporary facial weakness or drooping, or even a spread of the toxin beyond the treatment area, which can cause botulism-like signs and symptoms (trouble swallowing, muscle weakness, slurred speech and breathing problems).
Pregnant women, women who are breastfeeding their babies, as well as patients suffering from neurologic disease should not use Botox. Thoroughly research the procedure and make sure it is done by qualified doctor since your face is on the line!
