Remove Facial Lines And Wrinkles With Botox
Have you noticed how more and more people are interested in Botox treatments? Well, you can blame it largely on the more intense sun that we all seeing these days.
Besides sunlight causing skin aging, it also results in you having to squint, which in turn, creates wrinkling around the eyes prematurely, says medical cosmetic practitioner Dr Mariusz Gajewski of Star Cosmetic Medicine in New South Wales, Australia.
According to Dr Gajewski, skin aging has three central causes. Firstly, there is the assault of the sun on the collagen and elastin fibres in your skin that keep it firm and smooth. Next, the sun’s UV rays cause modifications to skin texture and pigmentation. And finally, the apparent movement of muscles below the skin’s surface that add to the lines.
While good quality sun protection helps to prevent the first two issues, the only thing – thus far – that helps the influence of muscle movement making facial lines is Botox.
The most frequent areas for Botox injections are in the upper part of the forehead, the “frown” point between the eyebrows and the outer corner of the eyes. Depending on your age, and how much time you spend in the sun, you may have already noticed these problem areas on your own face.
For some people the lines merely show when they are making certain facial expressions, and for other people they show permanently. However, once lines and wrinkles have started to develop as part of some facial expressions, the facial muscles will begin to adapt and before long they will probably be permenant.
Having botox injections to improve your looks and self confidence is a relatively simple procedure to undergo. After having a series of small injections, administered by a doctor, in your affected facial areas, you are free to go home the same day. If you have just mild lines and wrinkles, you may only need just one round of injections; though you may need to visit your botox doctor several times if you have lots of lines or wrinkles, of if they are quite deep.
As for side effects, they are little more than minor. The most common problems are temporary bruising, swelling and pinprick pain at the injection site, explains Dr Mariusz Gajewski. They are uncomfortable, rather than painful, and last for just a day or two after having a set of botox injections.
You need to act with caution though, as the over use of botox injections is the only real problem with them. Having the right amount of treatment will leave you looking fresher and revitalized, but have too much and you will look somewhat plastic and inexpressive.
If you would like Botox injections, remember that you need someone with the expertise and experience to determine where and how much to inject. Dr Mariusz Gajewski of Sydney’s Star Cosmetic Medicine suggests asking your GP or dermatologist for a recommendation.
