Botox is relatively uncomplicated, both in the delivery and the results achieved. This is one of the many reasons that Botox is the world's leading non-invasive cosmetic procedure. No other procedure comes close.
The most common use for Botox targets one of the most common problem area for patients who are dealing with skin rejuvenation - the treatment of the frown lines between the eyebrows. The reason Botox can make your frown lines disappear is that when you inject the frown muscle with an adequate dose of Botox Cosmetic, it stops moving. The frown lines disappear because the frown muscle can no longer contract and thus can no longer wrinkle up the overlying skin.
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 popularity of treating the frown lines with Botox is the high rate of patient satisfaction with the results. It relaxes the frown, and in the process smooths out the vertical lines between the brows that can make you look "angry" or "unapproachable", even when you are not.
As common sense dictates, you should be in generally good physical health. As well, you need to inform your physician about any drugs you 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.
Patients should be aware of all aspects of their planned treatment. In other words, they should know very clearly whether they should discontinue certain medications, or even stop smoking.
Doctors recommend that patients take the following precautionary measures in order to achieve the best results:
- 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
- The treated area or areas should not be massaged
- 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.
Normally, a Botox treatment should last you between three and six months, depending on the treatment area and the severity of the problems. After those six months, facial lines and wrinkles will start to reappear, though not as prominently as prior to the procedure. It is normally when this occurs that a patient will return to have their procedure performed again. 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.
