subject: Minimal Invasive Botox Anti Wrinkle Remedy For Making One Look Younger And Improve Appearance [print this page] For those looking for a cure to their wrinkle problems, Botox therapy (botulinum toxin type A) provides a relief. Botulinum toxin type A has a local effect once injected into muscles. Botox injections address wrinkles by paralyzing facial muscles: transmission between nerve endings and muscle fibers around the injection site are blocked causing weakness of the adjoining muscles.
After conventional tests, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) in April 2002 approved botulinum toxin type A (Botox Cosmetic) as a means to temporarily enhance appearance of frown contours amid eyebrows (glabellar lines). Since then, application of botulinum toxin type A for wrinkle treatment among celebrities as well as other beauty conscious citizens has become extensive. It is usually applied in people aged between 18 to 65 years. In 2007, it is reported by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons that there were 4.6 million procedures making use of Botox for cosmetic purpose.
This anti wrinkle injection should be taken under supervision of a qualified physician as it is part of a medical procedure. Qualification for conducting Botox cosmetic process differs from country to country: it can be conducted by dermatologists, plastic surgeons, dentists, nurse practitioners, and physical assistants. Several tiny injections of Botox are directly administered into the muscles of face. Before injecting, exact sites where injections would be administered are finalized by examining ability of patient to move certain muscles in brow area. Improvement in frown lines is usually noticeable within 3 to 7days. The effect of Botox injections in curing wrinkles lasts for about three to six months. In some cases, the effect is observed up to around eight months. One can have Botox cosmetic technique every 4 months.
Possible side effects of Botox can be headache, nausea, temporary eyelid droop, twitching of the eye, and eye pain. There can also be muscle weakness, squint/double vision, and redness at the injection site. It is advised not to have Botox injection if one has an infection on site where injection is to be administered. Also, if pregnant, Botox technique is not advisable. If one has neurological disorder like Myasthenia Gravis, Botox injection should not be taken. As Botox reacts with many other medicines, healthcare experts undertaking Botox cosmetic technique should be provided detail of medications taken.
As an anti wrinkle agent, Botox injections can surprisingly lead to positive effect on lifestyle by improving ones appearance. One of the best points about Botox cosmetic technique is that it is less invasive or artificial than other sorts of plastic surgery. It is a non-surgical cosmetic treatment to address frown lines, forehead creases and improve appearance. Anesthesia is not required. There is minimal brief discomfort. With just a 15 minute simple procedure, one can have a look that is much younger!
