How BOTOX® Cosmetic Rejuvenates
They say that laughter is the best medicine, so why is looking into the mirror one day and realizing you have "laugh lines" so discouraging? The good news is, those signs of aging can easily be erased with BOTOX Cosmetic.
BOTOX Cosmetic is a purified protein that Dr. Rassoli can inject into your skin to temporarily smooth wrinkles. These small, relatively painless injections make crow's feet and frown lines disappear in only a few days leaving you with a fresher, more youthful look. BOTOX works by relaxing the dynamic, over-active muscles in the face that cause wrinkles to appear. It is injected directly into the muscles in your chosen problem areas, and works by blocking the transmission of nerve impulses to those muscles, thus reducing their activity and the ability of wrinkles to form.
Although the results of the procedure are visible, they will not radically change your facial expressions because the treatment only relaxes your muscles. In fact, BOTOX can be a good preventative measure. Since it does not allow your facial muscles to form wrinkles in your skin, it may actually help reduce new wrinkles from forming.
The treatment is simple and non-surgical. It takes approximately 10 minutes and there is no recovery time. The first time you get a BOTOX treatment, you will begin to see changes in a few days with complete results in one month. All in all, your treatment can last up to 4 months.
Is BOTOX Safe?
BOTOX was approved by the FDA for cosmetic use in 2002, but has been used to treat other medical conditions for nearly two decades. It is also an effective pain reliever. It can be used to reduce migraines, treat neck spasms or even control excess sweating.
Like any medical procedure, there can be side effects associated with your BOTOX treatment. These are minimal and typically disappear within a few days. You may have a temporary tingling sensation or minor swelling, the injection sites may be red or the treated area may be tender or feel numb. To prevent bruising, you should avoid antibiotics, anti-inflammatory medications or aspirin before your treatment.
BOTOX is an excellent source for tapping into the fountain of youth. It is a tried and true procedure that is absolutely safe. The trace amounts that are used in the fine muscles of the face carry an extremely low risk of side effects, and receiving the treatment from a skilled medical professional only solidifies the product's safety and effectiveness.
