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?
TBOTOX
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?
TThe
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?

treatments such as dermal fillers. You can combine Botox
