You laugh. You frown. You concentrate. You might look but not feel angry, tired or worried. And over time, those expressions leave their negative mark on your face. Until recently, there wasn't a lot you could do about it. Today, with Botox cosmetic a simple, safe, non-surgical procedure even the toughest wrinkle can be reduced within days. One ten-minute treatment with a few tiny injections relaxes the muscles that cause the lines and wrinkles and keeps them relaxed for up to four months. As an added benefit, many people report a significant decline in frequency and severity of tension related headaches.
Excessive sweating? Botox is the most effective means treatment for excessive sweating, particularly axillary (underarm) areas. Small doses of Botox injected just below the upper layer of the skin block excessive sweat gland activity for up to four to six months. In some people, the effect lasts for up to one year.
Botox is a natural, purified protein that relaxes muscles by blocking nerve impulses. The relaxation lasts a number of months before the muscles return to their original state. When used appropriately the duration of effect can be increased from six to twelve months.
Anyone who is pregnant or breastfeeding, has a neuromuscular disorder like myasthenia gravis, has an infection at the proposed injection site, or is intolerant of human albumin (blood product), should not be treated with Botox. Others tolerate the procedure well, with minimal effects, and are able to return to their regular daily activities.
