To smooth away the frown lines between the eyebrows that both men and women get in middle age, and for other facial wrinkles, Botox can be used under prescription. It is most often used in order 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. 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?
Wrinkles in the skin are usually formed right next to a muscle that will be close to it, normally beneath it. When Botox is injected into those muscles then it restricts impulses made by the nerves getting 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. Lines and wrinkles stop forming when muscle contractions are inhibited. As a result, frown lines and other wrinkles are reduced, giving the person a more youthful look.
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. The nerve signals to the muscles under the skin are blocked by the Botox when it starts working. The muscle therefore relaxes and the skin is smoothed, causing facial lines to diminish.
The skin might be a bit red and sore after the Botox Injection Treatment, but this is normally minor and goes away 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 squinting, frowning and raising your eyebrows. This will work the Botox 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.
Be careful not rub or massage those areas that have been treated and do not do yoga, heavy lifting or any type of strenuous exercise for four hours after the treatment. 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 must be viewed as the medical procedures they are.
