Botox

botox information Botulinum Toxin Type A, or BOTOX®, as it is affectionately called by those of us who love it, has been found to eliminate worry lines, crows feet, laugh lines, frown lines, forehead lines, and other lines known as ‘dynamic’ or wrinkles in motion. BOTOX® works by chemically weakening facial muscles that form wrinkles and frowns when they contract. Although new uses seem to crop up almost daily, the most popular place to have it injected is still the glabellar or the area between the brows. Botox is also commonly used to improve:

dynamic wrinkles of the forehead
crows feet around the eyes
muscle bands of the neck
soften fine lines around the mouth
muscle rolls of the lower eyelids
the little ''bunny lines'' around the nose
creases in the chin line
excessive sweating in the armpits, palms and the soles of the feet

It has also been shown to bring relief to migraine sufferers by relaxing the muscles that contract when the pain response is triggered.

BOTOX® is more commonly used for aging of the upper two thirds of the face, while injectable fillers like Collagen and Fat are more often used for the lower third of the face from around the mouth to the jowls. That tide is turning and new uses for BOTOX® are arising all the time.

The goal of BOTOX® in facial rejuvenation is really only a softening not necessarily the complete elimination of wrinkles. Very minute amounts of this precious solution are injected to paralyze the muscle. The procedure is performed in an office setting without anesthesia and takes just minutes to complete. The BOTOX® may take up to 14 days to fully take effect, and sometimes a touch-up treatment is needed after that point. Although BOTOX® does a great job, it is not permanent and does have to be repeated. A treatment generally lasts from 3 to 6 months, about 4 months on average. When the BOTOX® starts to wear off, the wrinkles will begin to reappear again. Don’t be alarmed. You won’t just wake up one morning and all of your pre-BOTOX® wrinkles will face you in your bathroom mirror. They reoccur gradually, as the toxin wears off little by little.
