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 cosmetic use for Botox is 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.
Wrinkles and Frown Lines
The frown lines between the eyes are far and away the leading target area for Botox procedures. When Botox was approved by the FDA in 2002, the approval was based on the frown lines. 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 smooths out the vertical lines between the brows. This gives patients a more refreshed and relaxed appearance. Some patients say it eliminates their "angry" look.
Get Ready for your Treatment
Candidates for cosmetic surgery should be in generally good physical health and must be candid with their physician about any drugs they are taking. The medical history should always be as detailed as possible. You want to include anything that could affect blood clotting or interact with any medication used in the procedure. These could include hormones, aspirin, vitamins, and herbal medications.
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.
Post Botox Procedure
To achieve optimal results, doctors recommend that patients take the following precautionary measures:
- Before engaging in strenuous activity or exercise, give yourself 24 hours
- For 4-5 hours after the injections, try not to take a nap or lay down
- Do not massage the treated area or areas
- Practice daily facial exercises as directed by your doctor
- And be sure wear sun block
It is best to restrict muscle movements during the immediate Botox recovery period to let the agent settle.
Lasting Power
On average, the effects of Botox injections last anywhere from 3-6 months. After those six months, facial lines and wrinkles will start to reappear, though not as prominently as prior to the procedure. Naturally, when this occurs, patients can opt to have their Botox treatment repeated. The results of repeated Botox procedures will be lasting progressively longer with each treatment. In other words, a patient will require fewer procedures to achieve their desired results.
