Botox Wrinkle Treatment

Hate crow’s feet extending out of the corners of your eyes? Want to get rid of engraved frown lines? Seeking an effective treatment to restore the lost volume in the cheek area or plump up sagging jowls? Or want to redefine the size and shape of your lips to make them smooth and seductive?

All of the above problems have a single solution and that is “BOTOX”. Yes, with Botox treatment for face, now you can not only eliminate the facial lines and creases, but also enhance the facial contours and add fullness to thin, wrinkled lips.

What is Botox?

Botox is a prescribed medicine that is derived from a naturally occurring toxic protein Botulinum toxin type A, produced by a microbe named Clostridium Botulinum. This neurotoxin is known more for its uses in Aesthetic medicine, but the U.S Food and Drug Administration has also approved it to treat a number of neurological disorders. These include,

·         Blepharospasm: frequent, uncontrolled eye blinking

·         Strabismus: misaligned eye muscle

·         Hyperhidrosis: excessive sweating in the armpits, palms and soles

·         Cervical dystonia: severe neck and shoulder muscle spasms

·         Chronic migraines

·         Overactive bladder

How does Botox work?

Though there is a wide range of medicinal applications of Botox, here we will focus only on its cosmetic benefits. When used to eliminate facial wrinkles and creases, the toxin is injected directly into the area on your face that needs treating, using very fine needles. The toxin sticks itself to the nerve endings, preventing transmission of nerve impulses from to the muscles responsible for wrinkle-causing movements of the top most layer of skin. When the muscles do not receive chemical signals to contract, they relax, thereby improving the appearance of the lines and wrinkles.

Is this procedure painful?

The best thing about Botox treatment for face is that causes little or no discomfort and has no downtime associated with it. To further minimize the discomfort associated with these anti-aging injections, clinicians not only use hair-thin needles but also apply topical anesthetic at the injection site prior to the procedure to numb the area.

How long does the procedure take?

Another reason behind the popularity of Botox injections is that the procedure is easy and quick, with the entire procedure taking hardly 10 minutes. Effects of the procedure can be seen immediately after getting the injection and normally last for 3 to 4 months.
