• Botox is one of the most popular items when it comes to cosmetics.
• Injected into the muscles, Botox can help them relax and remove wrinkles.
• It helps you hide the effects of age on your skin, leaving your face looking younger and healthy.
• Here’s all you need to know about Botox:
What Is It?
• Botox Cosmetic works as an injectable muscle relaxer that paralyzes the muscles it is injected into and relaxes the skin above them as well.
• This makes the skin lose wrinkles, leaving it looking healthy and young.
• The substance Botox Cosmetic uses are known as botulinum toxin type A.
• It was first developed back in the late 1980s to treat eye muscle complications such as blepharospasm.
• Although you are essentially altering your muscles with Botox, its treatment is safe and does not end up creating complications.
• The treatment has been approved by relevant authorities all around the world.
• However, you need to make sure that your treatment is handled by a capable and experienced person.
• Mismanagement of the Botox chemical can give you a “wax-like” face.
• But you can have the Botox injected into you removed if you do not like how the treatment turned out.
How Do You Prepare for Botox Treatment?
• A typical Botox Cosmetic treatment is non-surgical and usually takes place in a cosmetic professional’s office.
• Due to this, you need not make special preparations for your treatment.
• However, you need to give your medical history, current medical conditions, and possible allergies to the professional before you undergo the treatment.
• The professional will offer you advice according to that.
• Go into the treatment without any makeup and clean the area of treatment thoroughly.
• In rare cases, you might need to take some aspirin to make your blood thinner.
• Doing so can help reduce the chances of bruising.
What Areas of Your Body Can Be Treated with Botox?
• The most common area for Botox Cosmetic treatment is the skin between the eyebrows, also known as the glabellar region.
• The treatment here can help remove frown lines.
• Another common area for Botox is around the eyes, where the wrinkles are known as crow’s feet lines.
• Beyond the face, Botox Cosmetic can also be used as a treatment for other conditions around the body.
• Some of them include:
• Excessive sweating, especially in the underarms.
• An overactive bladder.
• Chronic migraines.
• Lower limb spasticity.
How Does Botox Work?
• Botox essentially numbs the area it is administered in.
• It blocks any nerve signals in the area and stops all muscle contraction.
• As the muscle stops moving, the wrinkles in the skin begin to go away.
• The whole procedure can last around 10 minutes and you might need 3-5 injections for it to work.
Are There Any Side-Effects?
• You may get minor bruising from the injection and some general discomfort from the relaxed muscle.
• Other than that, some side effects that may show up include:
• Dry eyes
• Swelling
• Double vision
• Fatigue
• Headache
• Neck pain
