subject: Botox ® Botox Clinics In Perth [print this page] The desire to look youthful is something that we all want to some degree. If you can afford it, then there is a way to get that youthful, refreshing look to our face, especially if you are in show business. The use of Botox for treatment of wrinkles gained widespread acceptance in the mid-90s, although it had been in use for a number of years before then.
Botox, or Botulinum toxin, is derived from a bacterium known as Clostridium botulinum. It can cause a deadly form of muscle paralysis when it is ingested in large doses, as occurs in botulism food poisoning. But this paralytic effect can be put to good use in cosmetic surgery to eliminate wrinkles. At Absolute Cosmetic Medicine in Perth, Botox treatments are available.
The following are some of the facial wrinkle relaxing treatments you can obtain at this centre for:
Vertical lines between the eyes (glabella)
Horizontal forehead lines
Crow's feet (those ugly lines that form at the side of the eyes when the individual smiles broadly).
Large lower eyelids
All that needs to be done is for the Botox injections to be given in the areas of the body where they are needed. The procedure can be done in the doctor's surgery, and takes just a few minutes. No anaesthesia is needed as all the patient feels is a little discomfort.
There are very few side effects, ranging from some bruising at the site of the injection, to a more serious eyelid droop, caused by the Botox injection seeping into the orbicularis (eyelid) muscle where the relaxant effect is not needed. These side effects are usually temporary and resolve quickly.
