Through the powers of science however, ten quick minutes is all it takes to begin a transformation to erase those unwanted lines for a younger look and better feel in only 24 to 48 hours. It is the amazing power of Botox.
A simple lunchtime procedure that has been used by millions of women and thousands of men to reduce wrinkles since 2002, Botox injections are safely used to temporarily reverse the undesirable effects of aging. With results similar to an invasive surgical procedure, Botox treatments require zero recovery time and continued improvement is often noticed for up to a month after a visit. Unlike cosmetic creams and lotions that only promise to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, Botox treatments provide real visible results, fast.
Unwanted frown lines, crow's feet and other wrinkles are caused by the cumulative effects of a number of factors. While collagen loss, cellular changes and free radicals do play a part in the signs of aging, years of contracting the same muscles while smiling, squinting and concentrating are also to blame for the skin staying creased even when the muscles are at rest. Injected into these muscles, Botox works to effectively reduce wrinkles by blocking nerve signals and allowing muscles to relax, creating a more youthful look.
Treatment is all about reducing the signs of aging and reducing wrinkles, not creating the unsightly appearance of heavy-handed surgery or an immovable mask. The continued success of Botox is due in part to the fact that it only temporarily reduces the muscle contractions that cause lines and wrinkles. While there will be something noticeably different and younger about you, no one will be able to quite put their finger on what it is. Facial expressions of happiness, surprise and curiosity are still visible.
Botox treatments are very quick and discomfort can be kept to a minimum by numbing the area with a topical anesthetic or cold pack before the injection. An in-office visit typically takes a total of only 10 minutes. Occasionally there may be some localized pain, tenderness or slight swelling or bruising at the injection site but usually no recovery or downtime is needed.
The smooth appearance of youth and beauty often begin to replace the depressing lines, creases and wrinkles of aging in 24 to 48 hours but continued improvement is frequently observed for up to 30 days following the procedure.
Wisdom, experience and patience are rewards acquired through a lifetime of struggles. Now, using the magical powers of advanced science, having the confidence of a smooth, youthful face can be the ultimate reward of years of hard work and compromise. The reduction or elimination of crows feet, frown lines, forehead creases and facial wrinkles can be safely attained with the utmost of ease and speed with Botox treatments.
