subject: Getting The Most Out Of Botox [print this page] You've obviously heard of Botox, and if you're looking for a quick fix for wrinkles, read on. Botox is the treatment, made famous by the Stars. Think Nicole Kidman, Vanessa Williams, Simon Cowell - you've got to love their smooth foreheads and ability to stay virtually ageless. It's the preferred cosmetic treatment of celebs, unofficially, of course.
Botox has been around for almost a decade, and in this short time, over 13 million injections have been performed in the US and Canada alone. Can you imagine that? Millions of people have experienced the benefits and Toronto has had its fair share, as well, with hundreds of doctors and registered nurses performing the procedure to accommodate everyone in the city seeking to restore their youthfulness by smoothing out wrinkles and lines. It's incredibly convenient and easy when you compare it to other wrinkle smoothing treatments.
While Botox is for wrinkles, it actually targets the muscle, not the skin. Underlying muscles that repeatedly crease the overlying skin is what causes many wrinkles (known as dynamic) around the eyes, on the forehead and around the mouth. When you paralyze these muscles with a safe amount of Botox, the skin has a chance to smooth out. The result is that you look more relaxed and rejuvenated. Fabulous!
The results of treatment appear pretty fast - we're talking within a few days to a maximum of a week. Get the injection done over lunch, drive yourself back to work, then see the dramatic effects gradually appear. You may have a bit of swelling immediately after the injection, but don't worry about it. You can just cover that up with some well applied makeup.
With the expertise of an experienced physician or nurse, people will be complimenting you on how refreshed you look, but never know what your secret to relaxation is!
