Reverse Ageing With Botox
Truth is, nobody wants to look old and wrinkled. Yet as we grow older, our skin develops a propensity to announce our every birthday. The good news is while you can’t keep yourself from getting older, there are solutions that can help you delay the appearance of aging skin and wrinkles.
You’ve probably heard about Botox treatment but what’s interesting to know is why millions of men and women choose to do this procedure.
Doctors have been using Botox for years to successfully treat severe facial wrinkles on the forehead, frown lines between the eyebrows and crow’s feet (the lines that fan out from the corners of the eyes) areas in patients 18 to 65 years of age. Botox treatment works by reducing the contractions of the muscles that cause persistent lines that have developed over time.
How is a Botox procedure done?
Botox treatment is a simple, non-surgical 10-minute procedure with no downtime. It does not require anaesthesia and is injected with a fine needle into the specific muscles with only minor discomfort.
How long does Botox treatment’s result last?
Within days of your Botox procedure, you may notice significant improvement in the moderate-to-severe frown lines between your brows. This continue to improve for up to 15 days, and results can last for up to four to six months. As muscle activity gradually returns, the lines and wrinkles begin to reappear and need to be treated again. However, the lines and wrinkles often appear less severe with time because the muscles are being trained to relax.
What are the side effects of Botox?
The most common side effects of Botox include swelling or bruising at the injection site, headache and flu-like symptoms. Rarely, a very small percentage of patients may develop eyelid drooping which usually ends within three weeks. Other side effects include dry mouth and neck pain.
Who should not receive Botox?
Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding, and people who are allergic to any of the ingredients in BOTOX or BOTOX Cosmetic should not use Botox. It is also contraindicated for patients with neurological diseases. It is always best to consult your doctor to determine whether you are a candidate for Botox treatment.
Do Botox results differ?
Yes, individual results may vary. To get the best results, it’s important to go see a doctor who is experienced in administering Botox.
It’s important to remember that Botox must be done only under a doctor’s care. You too can enjoy the benefits of a Botox treatment.
