The treatments with botox are selected by men and women who want to eliminate the first expression wrinkles in the forehead and eye area.
In this article we have gathered all the useful information about paraphilology, its benefits, and about the correct information that you should have from your dermatologist.
What is botox and how do we do it?
Name botox, as it is commercially recognized, is essentially the drug containing the active substance butyl toxin, which relaxes the facial muscles and inhibits their contraction for a period of about six months to a year. The action of the substance results in the elimination of wrinkles due to it, as the muscles stop contracting. For many decades the treatments with botox It was used for various diseases of the nerves or eyes, while since the 90's it has been used for the aesthetic improvement of the facial muscles. The injectable administration of butyl toxin lasts about 20 minutes and targets locally the muscles you want to relax.
In which areas of the face is it done & when should it be repeated?
The forehead and temples are the main areas of the face to which the forehead is applied botox, while the results of the treatment become visible after the 4th day. The action of butyl toxin on the muscles lasts 6 to 12 months, which means that after this period the muscles return to their original state. If patients find the result satisfactory and wish to maintain it, they should repeat the treatment.
It is dangerous;
The risks associated with botox are limited to poor technique during the drug application process. Other organs are not affected, as the drug acts targeted on the muscular areas of the face. To minimize any side effects such as bruising, asymmetry and heaviness in the area with local swelling or even drooping eyelids, you should consult a specialist doctor, plastic surgeon or dermatologist. Asymmetries that may occur can be corrected by additional application of the drug.
Is there a suitable age to start botox?
The doctor is the most specialized to guide you properly, as there is no specific age to start treatments. If the doctor thinks that the wrinkles in the facial area can be eliminated, he will proceed with the injectable treatments botox. This is due to the type of facial skin or the use of muscles by everyone for expressions.
If you do botox once and then no?
After a treatment the facial muscles will return to their original state, in a period of 6-12 months, as they acquire the ability to fully contract. In any case, we note that if you choose to carry out a treatment with botox there is no commitment that you should obligatorily & systematically integrate it in your life forever! It is, like most things in life, another matter of purely personal choice.
