The Wrinkle Eraser

Botox - you hear of it being injected into the faces of famous Hollywood celebrities, supermodels and just about anybody who can afford the relatively expensive price tag of $550 at the least. In fact, you might say that this is the easiest and fastest, not to mention the least expensive compared to cosmetic surgery, method to erase fine lines, crow's feet and wrinkles from the face.

Botox is so popular precisely because it provides for a younger-looking appearance in a snap. You need not suffer through hospitalization. You need not go under the knife. You need not wait for weeks for complete recovery and, most especially, for positive results to be seen.

What It Is

Botox is derived from the bacterium known as Clostridium Botulinum Type A. For the past 20 years, it has been used for medical purposes like the treatment of muscle spasms especially around the head, neck and eye areas, excessive sweating particularly in the hands and even diabetic neuropathy. However, it is in the cosmetic field that has greatly benefited from this neurotoxin. (It is, in fact, generally considered to be the most lethal toxin known to man, of which an overdose in even the smallest degree can lead to death) Nowadays, dermatologists, plastic surgeons, cosmetic physicians and even medical spas provide for wrinkles reduction through the use of this powerful neurotoxic protein.

How It Works

Botox works by immobilizing or paralyzing the movement of the muscles at the injected site. This is made possible because it inhibits the contraction of the targeted facial muscles such as the eyes and mouth. Keep in mind that one of the causes of wrinkles is the skin losing its elasticity, thus, its supportive structure. As you age, such loss of elasticity becomes more and more pronounced until such time that the skin does not "spring back" to its smooth state after you have crinkled your eyes or laughed at a joked or smiled at somebody or scrunched your forehead. And so, wrinkles around the eyes, mouth, and forehead appear. Botox erases your facial lines simply by paralyzing the muscles involved in making facial expressions. The less your skin is subjected to enforced lines, the smoother your skin will appear.

What to Expect

Getting the injection is actually very easy. You can compare it to getting a tuberculosis test in that the discomfort is very minimal and very short. Of course, you will feel a minor sting once the very fine needle penetrates the skin. Immediately after treatment, your skin where the injections were given will look like it has been bitten by mosquitoes. Take comfort in the fact that the red swellings and small bruises will subside within a few hours to days. And then you ought to enjoy a face free of wrinkles and fine lines!

On a last note, for Botox to be effective in the removal of your facial lines, you must consult with a licensed practitioner. Each state has its own regulations as to who can practice the art and science of making your wrinkles go away with the use of the neurotoxin and, as such, it pays to ask local authorities. Or better yet, you should also ask your family and friends who have undergone the procedure and loved it.
