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. 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. And common sense dictates that you shouldn't go ahead if there is an infection in the skin surrounding the area being injected. 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. The skin supported by the muscle stops being creased by constant expression contractions by this limited or no muscle movement. With inhibited muscle contractions, lines and wrinkles stop forming. The person gets a more youthful look as a result, when frown lines and other wrinkles are reduced.

Botox injections is used for wrinkles as a non-invasive procedure that takes less than half an hour. A small amount of Botox is injected by the practitioner 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.

One normally minor side effect from the Botox Injection Treatment is slightly red and sore skin for 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

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 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.

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. Also, don't take Advil, vitamin D, or Tylenol after the procedure.

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 are medical procedures and need to be viewed as such.
