Botox: Is It Right For You?

Procedure Overview

Botox is a procedure that is a great alternative for those who are looking for a non-surgical way to improve the youthfulness of their appearance. The name itself is used to refer to the Botulinum Toxin Type A that is produced from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum.  It is administered in small doses through facial injections by a qualified physician and usually only takes about 10 minutes. It then works by blocking the transmission of nerve impulses to the injected muscles, reducing their activity.  This will translate into reduced signs of fine wrinkles that occur between the eyebrows.  Additionally Botox is approved by the Food and Drug Administration so you can rest assured that it is a safe produced when done correctly.

Benefits Of The Procedure

The benefit you are going to see with a Botox procedure is the reduction of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows. Typically after only one treatment, within 2-4 days noticeable improvements will be seen. These results will last for up to 4 months in most individuals. 

Additional benefits that Botox has demonstrated is reduced crows feet and forehead wrinkles, reduced appearance of other fine lines and wrinkles that occur on the face due to highly active muscles such as around the nose creases and neck, as well as it being a good treatment method for those who have issues of excessive sweating.

Side Effects and Contraindications

The most common side effect that is seen with the Botox treatment is a temporarily droop in the eyelids and potential nausea. Some individuals who are sensitive to the injections may also experience pain around the treatment area, inflammation, tenderness, swelling, redness and/or bleeding.

When the actual procedure is taking place, you will likely feel a small prick similar to that of a needle. The physician will also likely numb the area with an ice pack or anesthetic cream before injecting you so as to reduce the amount of discomfort you feel.

Many people worry that after the treatment is done they will not be able to make normal facial expressions however this is not the case. In almost all individuals, you can still frown or show surprise as normal, there just won't be any wrinkles showing.

Who Is Best Suited To This Treatment

This treatment is best suited to individuals between the ages of 18-65 who are noticing signs of wrinkles near their eyebrow region. It is going to work the best in those who are willing to continue treatments however, as if you discontinue getting the injections done the lines and wrinkles will slowly begin to show again over time as they were before.  Additionally, a person who is getting the treatment needs to understand before hand that this form of treatment is not going to be a replacement for cosmetic surgery so the results are not going to be as dramatic. Keeping realistic expectations in mind is important.

Anyone who is pregnant or is suffering from neuromuscular disorders like ALS or Lambert-Eaton disorder are going to be at risk for serious complications and should likely avoid this treatment.

So if you are looking for a quicker and simple method to improve your facial experience and bring back a youthful appearance, give Botox some thought. It's nice because it is low commitment and not very time consuming. As long as you can dedicate 10-20 minutes a few times a year to having the injection you should be able to keep the wrinkles and lines from reappearing.
