Discover the fabulous results millions of men and women have already experienced with a quick and easy Botox facial treatment. You get real and noticeable results without painful surgery and without an extensive recovery period afterwards. That is why Botox has become the treatment of choice for so many millions of people and their doctors.
The deepening lines on your forehead and between your eyebrows may have you wondering if Botox might be the right solution for you. Maybe you are plagued by laugh lines or those nasty lines on your upper lip. Talk to your doctor before making any final decisions about whether Botox might be for you.
What is Botox
Botox is a wrinkle eraser. The doctor uses a special prescription medication and injects it into your muscles where you want the wrinkles removed, usually between the brow and upper lip. This blocks the nerve temporarily removing the wrinkle. Since the wrinkle is caused by the muscle activity, relaxing the muscle makes the wrinkle disappear.
Contrary to popular belief, the results are not instant. It will take several days for you to see any improvement. This improvement continues for about thirty days, at which time the full effect of the treatment will be seen. The results are temporary. Results vary from person to person, however four months is about the average amount of time you can expect the wrinkles to be less visible.
Botox should only be administered by a qualified doctor. Some people have tried to inject themselves with home Botox kits or gone for treatment to less than reputable doctors. This is not a good idea.
Is it Painful
Injecting a foreign material into your body does not come without some sort of discomfort. This is generally very brief and tolerable. If you can survive a flu shot, you should have no trouble handling a Botox injection.
As with any injection, the doctor will numb the area first. This is done with a cold compress or an anesthetic lotion. The entire process only takes about ten minutes. In most cases you can be in and out of the office and back to work without any downtime at all.
Some side effects people have experienced include a little pain at the point of injection, minor infection, tenderness, inflammation, redness around the injected area and bruising. These usually disappear quickly and don’t leave any lasting effects.
Is Treatment Obvious
The results are visible and noticeable to people that know you, however a Botox treatment will not dramatically change your appearance or look obviously fake. You will look just like yourself, only a few years younger. Close friends and relatives will scratch their heads trying to figure out what you changed to make yourself look so young and vibrant.
You can make normal facial expressions like frowning or looking surprised, the only difference will be no wrinkles or creases, just a more beautiful you.
