Smooth Away those Lines with Botox

By Craig Nevilt


Botox, under prescription, can be used to smooth away the frown lines between the eyebrows, and other facial wrinkles, that men and women get in middle age. Smoothing out lines is what it is most often used for. This type of cosmetic improvement is used mostly by people who feel the lines on their forehead make them look tired or even angry.


Avoid this treatment if you are allergic to any of the ingredients of Botox. And common sense dictates that you shouldn't go ahead if there is an infection in the skin surrounding the area being injected. If you have any issues that affect your breathing such as asthma, you also should inform your physician before a treatment.

How does it work?

Usually, wrinkles in the skin form beside a muscle that is close to it, normally beneath it.Botox injected into those muscles restricts nerve impulses going to the tissue that is causing the wrinkle. So, little muscle movement results in the skin supported by the muscle stopping being creased by constant expression contractions. Inhibited muscle contractions means that lines and wrinkles stop forming. As a result, with fewer wrinkles and frown lines the person has a more youthful look.

Botox injections is a non-invasive procedure that is often used for wrinkles, and it takes less than 30 minutes. The practitioner injects a small amount of Botox into the site to be treated. The nerve signals to the muscles under the skin are blocked by the Botox when it starts working. The muscle therefore relaxes and the skin is smoothed, causing facial lines to diminish.

One normally minor side effect from the Botox Injection Treatment is slightly red and sore skin for a few days. Usually on the same day, a patient can leave the clinic straight away and return to work. Within 3 days the treatment usually starts to work, but the full effect may take up to a week.

After the Treatment

The first thing you need to do following your procedure is to try to exercise your treated muscles for one to two hours. Squinting, frowning and raising your eyebrows should all be practiced. This helps work the Botox into your muscles. This can be helpful, but if you forget or don't have the time, it won't impact your results negatively.

Be careful not rub or massage those areas that have been treated and do not do yoga, heavy lifting or any type of strenuous exercise for four hours after the treatment. Moreover, do not ingest Advil, Tylenol or vitamin D after the procedure.

And don't be concerned if you see some tiny bumps or marks on your face after the procedure. They will disappear in a few hours.

If you decide to have a Botox treatment, make sure whoever is doing it is trained specifically in this procedure. These treatments must be viewed as the medical procedures they are.
