Botox

The effects of Botox injections last for three to four months. Wrinkles often appear less severe in areas that are retreated this is because the muscles are being trained to relax. Botox is a drug made from a toxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. Botox is actually a brand name commonly used for the cosmetic form of botulinum toxin and is an increasingly popular method of temporarily reducing wrinkles with out surgery. Botox is used to reduce or eliminate forehead creases, crows feet, frown lines and thick bands in the neck. The Botox toxin does this by blocking the nerve impulses, temporarily paralyzing the muscles of the area treated. As it is due to muscles contracting that cause wrinkles temporarily paralyzing the muscles results in the skin having a smoother, more refreshed appearance. Research has also indicated that the use of Botox can relieve muscle spasms in the neck and eyes, excessive sweating and migraine headaches. It is worth noting that wrinkles causes by sun damage will not respond to Botox treatment. The procedure of receiving Botox injections can be carried out with in a few minutes and does not require any aesthetic. When undergoing the treatment Botox is injected into specific muscles using a fine needle which only causes minor discomfort. The effects of Botox treatment generally take between three and seven days to be seen fully. It is advised to avoid the intake of alcohol at least a week before treatment, it is also recommended that aspirin and any anti-inflammatory medications be stopped two weeks prior to a Botox treatment to reduce bruising.

When the filler Restylane is used the effects last a little longer usually from six months to one year. If using Radiesse the results of the treatment can last for longer than 3 years.

Smoking, drinking too much alcohol, stress and a poor diet can cause wrinkles to appear at a younger age. Other factors, which contribute to the ageing process, include ultraviolet radiation from the sun. Wrinkle treatments can be divided into five groups, for milder signs of ageing skin creams and gels containing retinoid may be affective and work by tightening the skin so that fine lines are less visible. Chemical peels work by removing damaged outer layers of skin a use glycolic or lactic acid. Another group of wrinkle treatments are laser facial resurfacing in which a laser is used to remove the outer layers of the skin on the face to stimulate the growth of new collagen fibres, as the area heals the new skin that forms is softer and less wrinkles and scars. Botulinum toxin injections often referred to, as Botox injections are when a protein is injected into specific facial muscles and has the effect of relaxing the muscle, which reduces the appearance of lines and wrinkles.
