Remove Facial Lines And Wrinkles With Botox
Did you ever wonder why so many people today are receiving Botox treatments? Well, it is not just a result of superficial whims. The more intense sunlight that we see these days has increased the amount of lines and wrinkles that develop on our faces.
Besides sunlight causing skin aging, it also results in you having to squint, which in turn, creates wrinkling around the eyes prematurely, says medical cosmetic practitioner Dr Mariusz Gajewski of Star Cosmetic Medicine in New South Wales, Australia.
Dr Gajewski went on to explain that there are three main causes for skin aging. Firstly, there is the assault of the sun on the collagen and elastin fibres in your skin that keep it firm and smooth. Next, the sun’s UV rays cause modifications to skin texture and pigmentation. Lastly, there is the apparent movement of muscles under the surface of the skin which leads to an increase in the lines that show on the outer surface of it.
The first two of these three issues can be largely prevented by the use of good quality sun protection, but that solution has no effect on the the third issue. To repair the damage done by the sun to our facial muscle movements, Botox treatment is required.
Botox injections can be had on all areas of the face, but the most frequents ones are the “frown point” between the eyebrows, the outer corner of the eyes, and the upper part of the forehead. You may have already noticed lines and wrinkles in these areas on your own face.
For some people, the lines and wrinkles on their face show permanently, whilst others are slightly better off in that they only appear when they make certain facial expressions. Unfortunately though, once lines and wrinkles start to develop they will only get worse.
Having botox injections to improve your looks and self confidence is a relatively simple procedure to undergo. After having a series of small injections, administered by a doctor, in your affected facial areas, you are free to go home the same day. How many rounds of injections you need is dependent on how many, and how deep, your lines and wrinkles are; if you only suffer mildly from them, you may only need one lot of injections.
As for side effects, they are little more than minor. Dr Mariusz Gajewski says you should be prepared for slight swelling and temporary bruising. These minor side effects last for just 24-48 hours are uncomfortable, rather than painful.
You need to act with caution though, as the over use of botox injections is the only real problem with them. Having the right amount of treatment will leave you looking fresher and revitalized, but have too much and you will look somewhat plastic and inexpressive.
If you would like Botox injections, remember that you need someone with the expertise and experience to determine where and how much to inject. Dr Mariusz Gajewski of Sydney’s Star Cosmetic Medicine suggests asking your GP or dermatologist for a recommendation.
