Botox Injections : How They Can Refresh And Revitalize You
Have you noticed how more and more people are interested in 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.
Dr Mariusz of Star Cosmetic Medicine in Sydney, Australia, says that as a result of this more intense sunlight, our skin is aging more prematurely, and we are also caused to squint more, which causes wrinkling around the eyes.
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. Secondly, the modifications to skin texture and pigmentation caused by UV rays. 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.
It is a relatively quick and simple procedure to have botox injection to improve your looks. A doctor will makes a series of injections into the affected areas, and you can go home the same day. If you have just mild lines and wrinkles, you may only need just one round of injections; though you may need to visit your botox doctor several times if you have lots of lines or wrinkles, of if they are quite deep.
You do not have to concerned about side effects, as they are minor at worst. The most common problems are temporary bruising, swelling and pinprick pain at the injection site, explains Dr Mariusz Gajewski. These minor side effects last for just 24-48 hours are uncomfortable, rather than painful.
The only real problem with botox injections is when they are over used, so act with caution. 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.
