What is Botox?<\/b><\/h2>\n
Botox<\/b> is a brand name and the first injectable bacterium toxin used for cosmetic treatments. A bacterium called <\/span>Clostridium Botulinum<\/span><\/i> produces <\/span>botulinum toxin<\/span><\/i>, which is a main ingredient of all Botox injections. The injections are used for reducing the appearance of wrinkles, but they can also be used as a treatment for certain medical conditions such as chronic migraines, excessive sweating, teeth grinding, overactive bladder, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n
How does Botox work?<\/span><\/h3>\n
After a very small dosage of Botox is injected into your facial muscles, the muscles will temporarily become paralized and will not respond to the signals nerves send them. Since the muscles cannot contract, there will be fewer movements, which will soften and reduce wrinkles. The Botox injections will last between 3 and 6 months, depending on the individual<\/span><\/p>\n
Is Botox safe?<\/span><\/h3>\n
Botox is a very reliable treatment with lots of pleased customers all over the world, so we can say that it is safe most of the time. Although it does consist of a bacterium toxin, a small dosage of it has proven to have more than a few benefits for the human body. The reason why we claim that Botox is <\/span>relatively safe<\/b> is that every single body is different and has different reactions to treatments, so <\/span>NONE of the treatments, medicines, or methods can be proclaimed 100% safe for everybody. <\/b>However, if you do not have any allergic reactions and choose a certified specialist to do your Botox treatment, you will be totally safe.<\/span><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Botox Injections<\/b><\/h2>\n
Botox injections are in a literal way syringes of botulinum toxin which get injected into your facial muscles. Botox works by preventing a certain muscle from temporarily contracting in the future. Since the muscle is unable to contract, the wrinkles around the injected area will become smoother and less noticeable, giving you a younger appearance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
The price of the treatment depends on the number of units you need for it. The procedure lasts for about 10 minutes and it is completely non-surgical. There is no need for anesthesia and the only thing that might happen is feeling a small intensity of pain when getting the Botox injections.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
Botox Costs\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n
The full Botox treatment cost will depend on the quantity needed for your treatment and the price your doctor or cosmetician charges. Be aware that you will need a different amount of units for e.g. forehead lift and brow lift, therefore the cost will be different depending on the treatment you choose.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Which doctors can do Botox treatments?<\/b><\/h2>\n
Botox injections are supposed to be done by plastic surgeons, dermatologists, otolaryngologists, and ophthalmologists. <\/span>Please do NOT let anyone other than a certified specialist inject anything into your skin.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
Results of Botox Treatment\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n
The results of Botox treatment usually last 3-4 months. However, if it is your first time getting Botox injections, the results might last shorter, around 2 months. If you are pleased and continue getting the Botox injections frequently, the results will most likely last longer each time and reach a period of 6 months. The first results will be visible shortly after the procedure is finished, and you can expect to see full results within a maximum of 2 weeks after the treatment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Botox Wrinkle Treatments<\/b><\/h2>\n
Botox is most commonly used for treating facial wrinkles and the success rate is very high when it comes to this non-surgical procedure. Since wrinkles appear mostly due to contractions of facial musculature, Botox is just a perfect solution for the contra effect. Injections of botulinum toxin will cut the connection between the nerves and the overactive muscle, causing the inactivity of the muscle. Wrinkles around that muscle will soften and become less noticeable.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
Frown Lines<\/span><\/h3>\n
Frown lines<\/b> are frequent amongst people in their middle or late adulthood and they appear as a consequence of frowning. Although they do no damage to your health, they can change the appearance of your face quite a lot.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
The procedure is done with a long thin needle and it lasts for 10 minutes or even less. The treatment of frown lines requests 10-12 Botox units per side, which makes a total of 24 units if you do both sides at the same time. For the cost, consider it per unit, plus the price your specialist charges for his own work, which varies. After treatment includes trying to frown in order to flex the muscles, not exposing the injected area to the sun, not laying down for about 2 hours after the procedure, and not massaging the face.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
