SOME Botox® FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
What causes wrinkles and deep lines?
Years of "facial expressions."
The repeated use of the facial muscles over years and years cause what
we call "dynamic wrinkles." The grooves appear as the result of
repeated muscle contractions from smiling, frowning, laughing,
squinting, crying and all these habitual emotional expressions we all
use daily. Genetics, family history, lifestyle habits such as smoking
and sun bathing along with normal age related wear and tear all
contribute to these "dynamic" wrinkles and creases.
What is Botox®?
Is the Brand name for Botulinum Toxin Type A which is
nature's most potent nerve impulse blocker. It is a therapeutic
neurotoxin used successfully and safely in wrinkle therapy for several
years now.
How does Botox® work?
It works by "relaxing" the muscles used repeatedly, day after day for facial expressions. The botulinim
partially blocks the nerve found in these muscles. This relaxing of the muscles causes the overlying skin to "smooth out" and the wrinkles go away! This does not affect normal functioning of untreated muscles.
What is a Botox® treatment like?
Safe - simple and fast! Using a tiny needle the Botox® is injected with great precision into the specified
facial area. There is minimal discomfort - no sedation or anesthetic is needed. You can resume normal activities immediately after treatment.Treatment effects are noticed within 24-72 hours following the
injection.
What are the side effects?
Temporary bruising at the injection site is common. If the injection migrates to the wrong muscle - there may be some slight side effects such as "eye drooping" temporarily. Any side effects are temporary.
WHAT DOES Botox® TREAT
Frown lines - Forehead wrinkles
Crow's Feet - around the eyes
Lower face lines and wrinkles
Nostril flaring - from nasal muscles
Blepharospasm (uncontrolled eye blinking)
Strabismus (lazy eye)
Hyperfunctional facial lines (since 1989)
How long do the results from Botox® treatment last? Typically they last from 3-6 months. This varies of course by individual. The injections can be repeated periodically and studies have shown that this causes the duration of the results to increase over time - that means you could require injections less frequently in the future!
Botox® canot improve wrinkles that are not related to muscle contractions - conditions such as aging, and sun-damaged skin or normal "sagging skin." Nor will it take the place of a much needed facelift..but Botox® can deliver a more youthful appearance in as little as 3 -10 days by smoothing out "dynamic wrinkles." If your goal is to look a little younger quickly .Botox® may be right for you!
