Botox Injections for Wrinkles

Technology has come a long way in providing for the health and aesthetic needs of human society. Even the occurrence of wrinkles can be combated with the help of various cosmetic procedures.

 

In reversing the signs of aging and fighting wrinkles, one non surgical method is by injection of cosmetic fillers beneath the skin to smoothen out wrinkles. Ever heard of Botox injections for wrinkles?Botox or Botulinum toxin, is actually a protein synthesized by a species of bacterium, which is Clostridium botulinum.

 

According to 1980’s reports, Botox was originally meant to treat nervous disorders like facial tics, involuntary blinking, excessive salivating, and migraines. The potential effectiveness of Botox injections for wrinkles was then discovered and this form of non-surgical anti aging treatment became one of the most popular choices for fighting wrinkles. In 2006, an estimated 2.4 million patients in the US had Botox injections for wrinkles, according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.

 

How is anti aging botox treatment administered? A certified doctor injects Botox into the facial muscles, usually on the forehead, on frown lines, or on crow’s feet near the eyes. Botox acts as a nerve suppressor, blocking signals to the facial muscles to prevent them from contracting. Thus, the muscles soften and wrinkles smoothen out. Botox is a popular choice because there is no downtime, and you can immediately resume normal activities after the treatment.

 

How much do Botox injections cost? On the average, one botox injection for wrinkles costs from $300 to $500. Results may be seen in a few days, and may last for several months. After such time, people opt to get additional Botox injections. Some people will experience side effects like nausea, bruising, and temporary numbness in the facial areas treated. However Botox injections are not advisable for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
