Botox is just one of the many cosmetic fillers available. It is popular for the temporary reduction of frown lines on the forehead and between the eyebrows. It is a biological toxin modified to be used to treat lines and wrinkles created by muscles during facial expressions, such as squinting or frowning. Botox is injected beneath the skin and restricts muscle contraction to give the impression of being relaxed.
Botox doesn't go anyway towards correcting sun damage, rough skin, age spots or scars. It's use is approved for a very limited area of the face only, essential the furrow between your eyebrows.
Are There Any Downsides To Using Botox?
Botox is a bacterial neurotoxin called botulinum. It can be deadly poisonous in sufficiently large quantities - and that's why it is heavy diluted before being injected. The use of Botox is forbidden for pregnant or lactating women, or if neurological problems exist.
Botox injections are only temporary. The benefits from this anti aging treatment will disappear between 3 to 6 months. A set of injections will cost about $800.
Regular injections will expose you to risk of skin and nerve damage, and may aggravate some skin problems.
Side effects to Botox are possible, although not everyone will get them. If side effects do occur, they are usually slight and easily treated. Botox patients may experience headaches, facial pain or difficulty swallowing. The patient may have a droopy eyelid if the muscle used to raise the eyelid is affected. Occasionally, but very infrequently, sight disorders can occur.
Given in large quantities, Botox can cause botulism. However, this type of poisoning would arise only if the injection is many hundreds of times stronger than that normally used for the cosmetic procedure.
