BOTOX Cosmetic Injections Have Become the Most Popular Way to Make Age Lines Disappear

    HOUSTON, TX, April 20, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Those crow's feet and laugh lines can get to you after a while. Then, one day, you notice how prominent your brow furrows have become. You try creams and makeup but nothing gets rid of those signs of aging. Yet, for millions of men and women, wrinkles are no longer a nagging aggravation. BOTOX Cosmetic Injections has become the most popular way to make age lines disappear. And when administered through the hands of an exceptional cosmetic surgeon, you can take years off your appearance in a single short treatment session.

How BOTOX Works

BOTOX works by weakening the muscles directly where it is applied. Wrinkles are caused by repeated contracture of the muscles beneath the skin. As skin ages and loses its tone, lines, wrinkles and furrows can develop in the skin. Relaxed muscles no longer scrunch the skin causing wrinkles.

Cosmetic uses for BOTOX include wrinkle treatment around the lips, eyes, forehead, between the eyes, and the neck. BOTOX does not cause numbness, and works only on the nerves that control movement.

Effectiveness of BOTOX

So effective are BOTOX treatments that many people choose this treatment as an alternative to a brow lift. Results last up to four months, and treatment has few side effects. Wrinkles disappear as facial muscles relax. Using top skin care products can help moisturize and rebuild the skin to give a smoother, younger-looking appearance.

Other Uses for BOTOX

BOTOX has been used to effectively reduce masseter muscles of the jaw-the ones we use to chew with. This treatment with BOTOX can reduce the size of these muscles and give your face a more oval shape.

Non-cosmetic uses for BOTOX help control a condition called blepharospasm in which the eyelids twitch, or spasm.

People who perspire excessively may benefit from BOTOX injections. BOTOX blocks nerve impulses, and has been shown to block those that ultimately cause sweating.

The neuro-blocking action by BOTOX has been used to reduce migraine headache intensity and frequency, and to relieve chronic back or jaw pain.

BOTOX Side Effects

Side effects of BOTOX treatment are few and rare. The most common include minute red marks from the injections and minor bruising, both of which disappear within hours. Occasionally, a patient will experience temporary paralysis of specific muscle groups, longer lasting bruising or an allergic reaction. These tend to resolve within a couple weeks.
