Botox Cosmetic has for years retained the title as the most commonly performed "non-surgical" cosmetic procedure in the United States, based on its ease of use and consistently good cosmetic results.
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. Botox makes your frown lines disappear. The reason is simple mechanics, based on the underlying muscles that cause the wrinkles to occur. The frown lines are reduced because the muscle that cause the wrinkles to occur is not activating in the same pattern.
The Angry Look
Again, the most common area of treatment with Botox is the frown line between the eyes. Botox was actually approved for frown lines in 2002 by the FDA. The high rate of satisfaction among patients being treated for frown lines is one of the key drivers of the popularity of this procedure. 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.
Be Prepared for your Treatment
A healthy approach to any surgery requires that you be in relatively good physical health. Also, it's important to inform your doctor of any medications your currently taking to ensure there are no potential conflicts that could arise. Your medical history should include oral contraceptives and estrogen replacement, vitamins, and herbal medications. Remember, these can impact blood clotting and could increase surgical risk.
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.
After your Botox
Doctors recommend that patients take the following precautionary measures in order to achieve the best results:
- Before engaging in strenuous activity or exercise, give yourself 24 hours
- Do your best to stay upright for 4-5 hours after the injections
- The treated area or areas should not be massaged
- Practice daily facial exercises as directed by your doctor
- Wear sun block
It is best to restrict muscle movements during the immediate Botox recovery period to let the agent settle.
When Will I Require Another Treatment?
Normally, a Botox treatment should last you between three and six months, depending on the treatment area and the severity of the problems. Though not as prominently as prior to the procedure, facial lines and wrinkles will start to reappear. At that time, patients may choose to repeat the process. Repeated Botox procedures will be lasting progressively longer with each treatment. As such, a patient will require fewer procedures to achieve their desired results.
