Maybe you're ready to take the plunge or maybe you're just ready to start
thinking about it. Whatever the case, it seems impossible to avoid the
current BOTOX® craze.
What's the appeal? BOTOX® , an injectable that strategically relaxes facial
muscles, which may ultimately banish wrinkles, has become on of the most
in demand wrinkle-fighting treatments in society's scramble to beat the
clock. Allegran, the manufacturer of BOTOX® , says that over one million
people worldwide have been treated with BOTOX® since the drug's FDA approval
in 1989. In 2002, the FDA approved BOTOX® for cosmetic procedures but doctors
were able to use BOTOX® for cosmetic purposes before its FDA approval.
In fact, injections of the drug have been the most popular cosmetic medical
procedure in the USA since 2000.

How does BOTOX® work?
For cosmetic use, a doctor injects BOTOX® into the facial muscles that
cause wrinkling. The drug blocks a substance called acetylcholine and
by blocking this substance effectively paralyzes the muscle. This temporary
paralysis freezes expression muscles so that the ability to move your
muscle may temporarily disappear along with wrinkles. BOTOX® is most effective
at banishing what doctors call dynamic wrinkles. Dynamic wrinkles are
those pesky wrinkles that most of us call smile lines and frown lines.
After making the same expressions time after time, our skin remembers
these expressions even when we are not making them- BOTOX® to the rescue.
BOTOX® effectively banishes smile line, frown lines, crow's feet and more
with results that may last three to six months, depending on the patient.
The BOTOX® procedure.
Many doctors begin by applying a topical anesthetic cream to the areas
that will be treated. This effectively numbs the area so that there is
little to no pain. Each injection takes a few minutes and there may be
slight redness or in some cases bruising at the injection site. Within
three to five days results will begin to appear. What to expect? A complete
smoothing of lines is typical and dynamic wrinkles are effectively, albeit
temporarily, exiled.
Where to get BOTOX®?
This should go with out saying, but BOTOX® should only, only be administered
by an authorized healthcare professional in a medical environment. Dermatologists,
Plastic Surgeons, and Physicians specializing in cosmetic procedures are
generally more experienced at administering BOTOX®.
