Botox Overview
Botox in the right hands has spectacular results. Injected "just so" into frown and worry lines, you can look years younger, happier, less tense and more confident.
A Botox Brow Lift is simple, reliable and one of the most requested Botox procedures . Botox is famous for it's ability to lessen frown lines and is fast becoming as well known for its ability to create a "lift" in the brow area and mouth.
Only someone who suffers from severe sweating (Hyperhidrosis) knows how embarrassing and anxiety provoking it can be. Botox has outstanding results in minimizing this condition.
Botox injections are extremely quick and performed with a tiny needle. Most patients liken it to a light pinch. Effects are apparent in a matter of a few days and last 4 to 6 months.
What is Botox and how does it work?
Botox is a purified protein that has the capability of preventing unwanted muscle action. In it's pure form it is a toxin, but for cosmetic use it is a safe, highly-diluted injectable solution that relaxes muscles.
The way Botox works is similar to the idea of putting a cut-off switch between an electrical cord and a lamp. Electrical energy must reach the lamp before the light comes on. Muscles work the same way by receiving signals from the nerves. If you're angry, your nerves signal your frown muscles to contract. Botox simply stops that signal from getting through by acting as a cut-off switch.
Many people have habits of frowning they are unaware of. This causes a perpetual tense or angry look. People may ask what you are worried about or mad about when you are neither. By using Botox to stop that "worry signal" from getting through, you lose the frown and the worry lines.
Botox for Hyperhidrosis is a much welcomed treatment for heavy sweaters. Botox is successfully used to lessen underarm Hyperhidrosis with effects lasting up to 12 months.
Botox Brow Lift
The Botox Brow Lift, is accomplished by stopping the action of selected downward-pulling muscles to allow the upward-pulling muscles to raise the brow. The brow is lifted, more of the eyelid is shown and the entire look is one of a more youthful face. The results can be quite close to those of a surgical brow lift
Botox and Wrinkle Fillers - Kissing Cousins
There is a synergistic relationship between Botox and wrinkles fillers such as Restylane and Juvederm. By restricting muscle activity, dermal fillers last longer. And by using dermal fillers, the Botox effects are prolonged as well. Hand-in-hand they are ideal companion treatments as each boosts the effect of the other.
Why some Botox users look "strange"
Inexperience can lead to a blank or plastic look form an overuse of Botox. Only by careful analysis can a physician determine how much Botox will effectively give the results you want and still not over-do the procedure. The ideal result is one that allows natural expression while still relaxing certain muscles.
The doctor will ask you to squint, frown, smile and even contort your face to see what your muscle intensity is. This is important in determining both placement and amount. You will never be rushed through your appointments and your injections are only administered by Licensed Medical Doctor.
