botox
As we grow older, lines and wrinkles become a concern. They are caused by every day movements and expressions, sun damage, smoking and other, unavoidable environmental factors such as free radicals. As well as all these factors, natural collagen breaks down and skin gets less elastic the older we get.

In an effort to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, many people are turning to BOTOX® Cosmetic. The cosmetic form of botulinum toxin, simply called BOTOX® Cosmetic, is a popular non-surgical injection that temporarily reduces or eliminates frown lines, forehead creases, crow’s feet near the eyes and thick bands in the neck.. BOTOX® Cosmetic has also been shown effective in relieving migraine headaches, excessive sweating, and muscle spasms in the neck and eyes.

Doctors and patients alike have been choosing BOTOX injections for over twenty years. In the year 2006 alone, 4.1 million people in the U.S chose BOTOX making it the most popular among the non invasive cosmetic procedure to ease the signs of aging. While BOTOX cannot correct skin damage due to sun exposure or sagging skin, it is the best non-surgical way to give your face a little lift.

What is the procedure for BOTOX?


The doctor might apply ice to the area a few minutes before treatment-  it causes the vessels in the skin to constrict which helps reduce bruising, and it helps decrease the small amount of pain associated with multiple injections.

 Then a small diluted amount of the botulinum toxin is injected through an ultra fine needle into the specific muscles surrounding the area to be treated. There may be minor discomfort associated with needles; however, most patients report that other than slight pricking sensation, botox injections are painless.

The whole process takes about ten minutes to half an hour, depending on the number of areas being treated.

How does BOTOX work?


BOTOX is the cosmetic form of botulinum toxin.  The toxin blocks the nerve impulses, temporarily paralyzing the muscles that cause wrinkles while giving the skin a smoother, more refreshed appearance.

There are two types of wrinkles. Dynamic wrinkles, or muscle wrinkles, form where muscles move the face the most (around and between the eyes and around the mouth), and Static wrinkles are lines and crinkles that appear at the corners of the eyes and in other areas on the face. Dynamic wrinkles go deep.

As they develop, they create grooves in the skin, which are apparent even when you are not moving your face. Static wrinkles are more superficial and are most noticeable when the face is moving, such as when you smile or frown. Because it affects the facial muscles, BOTOX Cosmetic can help ease or prevent both types.


Is there a recovery period after the BOTOX?

The doctor will ask you to hold an Ice pack to the treated area for a few minutes after the treatment. This helps minimize bruising and discomfort resulting from the injections. It will also help keep the BOTOX Cosmetic within in the injected areas.

As soon as the series of injections is completed, you can go back to your regular activities. The doctor will advise you to refrain from bending or laying down for approximately four hours after the injections until the toxin has had time to attach to the nerve-muscle connection. You will be asked not to rub the area in order to prevent the toxin from spreading to adjacent muscles.



Are there any side effects of BOTOX?


Small bruises or red marks at the sites of the injection may appear but usually fade within a few days. Mild headaches and nausea, though rare, have been reported by patients who receive forehead injections. Swelling, though rare, may occur in the area around the injection. If the swelling lasts more than a few hours, simple massage should help reduce it.

There are no reports of allergic reactions to Botox. However, if you are pregnant or breast feeding, or have a neurological disease, you should not use Botox.


How Long Does BOTOX Cosmetic Last?


Depending on the area being treated, one series of injections generally lasts three to six months, though in some cases the improved appearance can last up to a year. As the toxin wears off, your wrinkles will gradually return, but they won't be any worse than before the treatment.

With repeated injections, the effects generally tend to last longer. There is some evidence that after prolonged treatment the affected muscles may become permanently weakened, so fewer treatments will be needed."



Can I combine other treatments with BOTOX?


BOTOX works especially well when combined with other non-surgical treatments such as dermal fillers. You can combine Botox with rejuvenation packages or side trips in India.
