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. Most people have this type of cosmetic improvement because they 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. You shouldn't go ahead if there is an infection in the skin surrounding the area being injected - as common sense dictates. 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. 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.
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 skin is smoothed, causing facial lines to diminish, because the muscle therefore relaxes.
One normally minor side effect from the Botox Injection Treatment is slightly red and sore skin for a few days. A patient can usually leave the clinic straight away and return to work the same day. The treatment usually starts to work within 3 days, but it may take up to a week to maximize the full effect.
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. You should practice squinting, frowning and raising your eyebrows. 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.
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.
If you see some tiny bumps or marks on your face after the procedure, do not be concerned. 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.
