What You Should Know About Botox Injections
With aging our skin’s levels of collagen, elastin and hyaloronic acid naturally decrease leaving us with unwanted wrinkles. Our environment and stress levels pay a big part in how quickly wrinkles and folds appear. There is hope for those that are not wanting to undergo surgical procedures such as cosmetic brow-lifts (temporal lift), Botox injections.
Botox Injections have been used in Australia and New Zealand as therapeutic treatments for over 15 years. They were originally used to treat eye movement disorders but in recent years have become somewhat of a fad amongst the rich and famous. But what are Botox Injections?
Botox Injections are a prescription-only treatment containing a natural, highly purified protein which are administered in a few tiny injections specifically into the muscles that form facial expressions creating a smooth, younger looking appearance. Once the muscles are relaxed, you cannot make the wrinkle-forming facial expressions therefore allowing the existing lines to gradually smooth and prevent new lines from forming.
Unfortunately Botox Injections cannot treat all problems. Although the rate of patients undergoing surgical procedures has decreased, there are still patients that will need a surgery to lift conditions such as droopy eyebrows and eliminate the deeper wrinkle lines. This can now be achieved permanently via small incisions in the scalp and the use of an endoscope for better visualisation. Endoscopic Brow Lifts are performed under general anaesthetic by plastic surgeons trained in cosmetic surgery.
Botox Injections should only be given by a qualified medical practitioner who knows how to administer Botox Injections correctly and who has a detailed knowledge of muscular anatomy of the forehead and eye regions.
What Should You Expect From Botox Injections
- You will notice the effects within one week of receiving the Botox Injections treatment and the results can last between 3 and 6 months.
- The entire Botox procedure takes up to 15 minutes and you can resume normal activity immediately.
- You may experience tenderness and bruising around the injection site. In rare cases you may experience headaches, a temporary eyelid droop and/or nausea.
