Botox is the most commonly performed "non-surgical" cosmetic procedure in the world. The price point is very attractive and affordable. The product has been tested and used extensively for years. And the safety record of Botox is exceptional.
The most common use for Botox targets one of the most common problem area for patients who are dealing with skin rejuvenation - the treatment of the frown lines between the eyebrows. When you inject the frown muscle with an adequate dose of Botox Cosmetic, it stops moving. As a result, the frown line diminishes. The frown lines are reduced because the muscle that cause the wrinkles to occur is not activating in the same pattern.
Again, the most common area of treatment with Botox is the frown line between the eyes. Botox was actually approved for frown lines in 2002 by the FDA. In addition to the fact that frown lines are a major area of concern for patients is the fact that the market was driven by extremely high levels of satisfaction among patient end users. Botox relaxes the frown. Some say it takes away that "angry" look and makes them more approachable. The end result is a more refreshed and relaxed appearance.
A healthy approach to any surgery requires that you be in relatively good physical health. Also, it's important to inform your doctor of any medications your currently taking to ensure there are no potential conflicts that could arise. Your medical history should include oral contraceptives and estrogen replacement, vitamins, and herbal medications. Remember, these can impact blood clotting and could increase surgical risk.
Before surgery, even minor treatments such as BOTOX, patients should be educated about all aspects of the planned treatment, including whether to discontinue certain medications and stop smoking.
To achieve optimal results, doctors recommend that patients take the following precautionary measures:
- Before engaging in strenuous activity or exercise, give yourself 24 hours
- Avoid laying down for 4-5 hours after the injections
- Do not massage the treated area or areas
- Practice daily facial exercises as directed by your doctor
- Wear sun block
It is best to restrict muscle movements right after your Botox procedure. This will give the agent a sufficient amount of time to settle.
On average, the effects of Botox injections last anywhere from 3-6 months. After those six months, facial lines and wrinkles will start to reappear, though not as prominently as prior to the procedure. Naturally, when this occurs, patients can opt to have their Botox treatment repeated. Repeated Botox procedures will be lasting progressively longer with each treatment. As such, a patient will require fewer procedures to achieve their desired results.
