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. Most often it is used 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.
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. Before a treatment, tell your physician if you have any issues such as asthma that affect your breathing.
How does it work?
The skin's wrinkles normally form right next to a muscle that is close to it, and normally beneath it.The Botox restricts nerve impulses from reaching the tissue that causes 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. As a result, frown lines and other wrinkles are reduced, giving the person a more youthful look.
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 the Botox starts working, it blocks the nerve signals to the muscles under the skin. The muscle becomes relaxed and the skin smooths, which makes facial lines 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. A patient can usually return to work the same day, right after leaving the clinic. It may take up to a week to maximize the full effect, but the treatment usually starts to work within 3 days.
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. Squinting, frowning and raising your eyebrows should all be practiced. 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. 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. Within a few hours they will go away.
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.
