Botox Cosmetic Injections

 Botox is extremely popular nowadays because it is simple to perform and consistently achieves good results. With just a few injections, the procedure can paralyse facial muscles and prevent them from wrinkling.

The name alone, Botox, is an implication of the true nature of the substance -Botulinum toxin type A. It is a non-surgical way to reduce or eliminate frown lines, forehead creases, crows feet and other wrinkles.There are other brands of the same toxin which work in exactly the same way, eg Azzalure

A tiny bit of botox treatment does a really powerful job. The treatment is effective but temporary and has to be repeated every 3-6 months. Botox weakens the facial muscles that create wrinkles and frowns when they contract. When it starts to wear off, muscle activity will gradually being to reappear, so you will not wake up one morning to all of your pre-Botox wrinkles lunging at you in the bathroom mirror! The goal of Botox is a subtle softening, not necessary the complete elimination of facial expression lines.

If you are thinking about taking Botox Injections, it is wise to first learn about the procedure and the possible side affects. Understanding how Botox works is an important step in making up your mind if it is a cosmetic surgery procedure that will be worthwhile for you. Let’s go through the procedure step by step.

First Clare will determine where to administer the injections by examining your ability to move certain muscles in your brow area. The location, size, and use of the muscles that create a furrowed brow vary markedly among individuals.
Botox (Botulinum toxin type A) is then injected with a very tiny needle. The injected Botox attaches itself to nerve endings and blocks the release of the transmitter acetylcholine, causing the muscle to become relaxed.
Discomfort is usually minimal and brief. Most patients compare the sensation to a pin prick.

In usual cases the Botox treatment lasts for about 10 minutes, and no recovery time is needed. You may resume normal activity immediately. You may see a marked improvement in the moderate to severe frown lines between your brows within a matter of two to three days. Improvement may continue for as long as a month, and could last up to 6 months. However, results are known to vary from person to person depending on their medical history and lifestyle.
