How does BOTOX® work?
For
cosmetic use, a doctor injects BOTOX® into the facial muscles that cause wrinkling.
The drug blocks a substance called acetylcholine and by blocking this substance
effectively paralyzes the muscle. This temporary paralysis freezes expression
muscles so that the ability to move your muscle may temporarily disappear along
with wrinkles. BOTOX® is most effective at banishing what doctors call dynamic
wrinkles. Dynamic wrinkles are those pesky wrinkles that most of us call smile
lines and frown lines. After making the same expressions time after time, our
skin remembers these expressions even when we are not making them- BOTOX®
to the rescue. BOTOX® effectively banishes smile line, frown lines, crow's
feet and more with results that may last three to six months, depending on the
patient.
The BOTOX® procedure.
Many doctors begin by applying
a topical anesthetic cream to the areas that will be treated. This effectively
numbs the area so that there is little to no pain. Each injection takes a few
minutes and there may be slight redness or in some cases bruising at the injection
site. Within three to five days results will begin to appear. What to expect?
A complete smoothing of lines is typical and dynamic wrinkles are effectively,
albeit temporarily, exiled.
Where to get BOTOX®?
This should
go with out saying, but BOTOX® should only, only be administered by an authorized
healthcare professional in a medical environment. Dermatologists, Plastic Surgeons,
and Physicians specializing in cosmetic procedures are generally more experienced
at administering BOTOX®.
