A Remedy For That Frown

<

By Dern Heatherton


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 corresponding muscle can no longer contract. So, the end result is that it can no longer wrinkle up the overlying skin.

The frown lines between the eyes are the most common area treated with Botox. Botox was actually approved for frown lines in 2002 by the FDA. The popularity of treating the frown lines with Botox is the high rate of patient satisfaction with the results. 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.

As common sense dictates, you should be in generally good physical health. As well, you need to inform your physician about any drugs you are taking. The medical history should always be as detailed as possible. You want to include anything that could affect blood clotting or interact with any medication used in the procedure. These could include hormones, aspirin, vitamins, and herbal medications.

It shouldn't come as a surprise to a patient that they should have stopped using certain medications or even altered behaviour such as smoking. It is up to the patient to take this responsibility for self education seriously.

To achieve the most desired results, you should take the following precautionary measures when preparing for your Botox treatment:

- Wait 24 hours before engaging in strenuous activity or exercise

- Do your best to stay upright for 4-5 hours after the injections

- Avoid massaging the treated area

- 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. It is normally when this occurs that a patient will return to have their procedure performed again. The results of repeated Botox procedures will be lasting progressively longer with each treatment. In other words, a patient will require fewer procedures to achieve their desired results.
