People enjoy looking their best and looking younger as long as possible, and now, with Botox® Cosmetic, that is a dream that can be realized. Medspas all over the country have staff that are trained to apply this transformative treatment to the areas of the face to help create a smoother, more relaxed appearance.
While these injections cannot fix every problem, there are many issues that can be helped:
•Crows feet at the corners of the eyes – Crows feet may be caused by smiling, frowning, worrying or squinting over years of time.
•Worry lines or frown lines – These are the vertical lines that form between the eyebrows, giving a careworn appearance.
•Nasolabial folds and lines – These are the lines that run from the nose to the corner of the mouth, defining the cheek.
•Forehead lines and creases – Often called a furrowed brow, these are the horizontal lines that form when someone is deep in thought.
•Migraine headaches and TMJ – For those who suffer from serious and frequent pain, there have been some successful results using these injections.
When considering getting Botox® injections to improve and relax the face, there are some facts that should be considered. Understanding what can and cannot be done prepares patients for the most realistic results.
This miracle drug is technically a protein toxin. It has been formulated and purified so that it blocks nerve impulses without causing harm otherwise. This prevents the muscles used in facial expressions from clenching up and causing lines to form. Once the muscles beneath the skin are relaxed, the skin smooths out and is prevented from becoming more lined.
A trained practitoner at a medspa administers injections. Miniscule amounts of the thin liquid are carefully injected directly into the skin or muscle layer just below the skin. It may take a number of injections to cover all of the areas where wrinkles are a problem. There may be a pinching sensation when the needle enters the skin, which is usually numbed first.
Depending on the depth and severity of the existing lines, more or less of Botox® may be used, but generally it only takes one treatment to accomplish results. Known as the lunchtime procedure, there is not usually any reason to divert from your normal activities afterward. There may be some slight pain or discomfort at the site for a few minutes, but otherwise recovery is typically unremarkable.
It should be noted that while this is good solution for those wanting to preserve a younger appearance, it should not be used by women who are pregnant or nursing. Once nursing has ceased, it can usually be safe to receive a treatment, but discuss it with the doctor first.
As time goes by, lines and wrinkles can take their toll and cause someone to look older. Youthful smoothness can be regained for a time by the use of Botox® Cosmetic in a qualified medspa.
