Botox
Fine wrinkles that appear on the forehead, between the eyebrows and crow's feet around the eyes can be quickly managed by injecting a medication. Botox is a very popular injection used to smooth wrinkles and expression lines, it is one of the most popular non-surgical anti-wrinkle treatments. BOTOX helps smooth facial wrinkles and fight the visible signs of aging on the face. BOTOX allows muscles to relax by smoothing out wrinkles. The result of a BOTOX injection is a rejuvenated appearance that can last up to 4-6 months. Small doses of BOTOX are injected into the skin where wrinkles are visible. The procedure is done in your doctor's office and can take anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes. The number of injections and doses administered varies by patient depending on the amount and depth of the wrinkles. There is no major discomfort from Botox injections other than a small prick from the needle. Patients will be able to return home immediately after the procedure without disability. Some patients consider it part of their normal beauty routine. After treatment, redness, slight swelling and small bruises may appear. The redness and swelling will only last a few hours, but some patients may experience small bruises for several days. The results of a BOTOX treatment take 2-6 days to appear. Patients are advised to limit exercise on the day of treatment. Today, professionals are treating patients of all ages with BOTOX. For some individuals, for example those as young as 30, BOTOX is considered a way to prevent facial wrinkles. For others (ie 40 years of age and older), it's a rejuvenating effort to smooth the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Seniors (55 and over) will still receive great benefit from having BOTOX injections, but for some, a facelift technique may be a better option to consider.
