What Is Botox ?
Botox is a brand name of a toxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, or simply, botulism. It is used medically to treat certain muscular conditions and cosmetically remove wrinkles by temporarily paralyzing muscles.
It has been used for over 15 years in the cosmetic surgery industry as a popular treatment for facial wrinkles. It derives from the bacteria Clostridium botulinum, which can be harmful when present in high doses
How does it work?
Botox blocks signals from the nerves to the muscles. The injected muscle can't contract. That makes the wrinkles relax and soften. Or in simple Botox is used to treat lines and creases by injecting small amounts into the facial muscles. Normally chemicals released by nerve cells in the face cause the muscles to tighten, leading to frown lines.
It can also be used for lip lines and for the chin and corner of the mouth and neck. For more information, click here.
What happens during treatment?
First the surgeon will discuss your medical history and assess which areas of your face to treat. A series of small injections will then be directed straight into the facial muscles using a fine needle. You will not need an anesthetic as the injections cause very little pain. The whole procedure should be completed within a matter of minutes. Botox generally takes three to seven days to take full effect, and it is best to avoid alcohol starting at least one week before the procedure. You should also stop taking aspirin and anti-inflammatory medications two weeks before treatment to reduce bruising.
Where should I go to get Botox treatment?
Once you have decided to have Botox treatment it is important to choose the right cosmetic surgeon to perform the procedure. Botox has a proven track record for safety and good results but only when carried out by a reputable practitioner. Choose a fully qualified surgeon who has already carried out many Botox procedures. Look for a clinic where the surgeon is willing to carry out an initial consultation so that you have the chance to ask any questions and thoroughly discuss the implications of the treatment. A good cosmetic surgeon should always be happy to give you lots of information and may be able to show you photographs of past clients and the results of their treatment. It's also a good idea to ask around your friends for personal recommendations. If you’re live in Texas you should definitely contact Suncoast Plastic Surgery.
