Get a Younger Looking You 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. 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. 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?

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 it starts working, the Botox 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. Usually on the same day, a patient can leave the clinic straight away and return to work. Within 3 days the treatment usually starts to work, but the full effect may take up to a week.

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 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.

Do not do yoga, heavy lifting or any type of strenuous exercise for four hours after the treatment, and take care to not rub or massage those areas that have been treated. Moreover, do not ingest Advil, Tylenol or vitamin D after the procedure.

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.

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.
