Did you ever wonder why so many people today are receiving Botox treatments? Well, it is not just a result of superficial whims. The more intense sunlight that we see these days has increased the amount of lines and wrinkles that develop on our faces.
Besides sunlight causing skin aging, it also results in you having to squint, which in turn, creates wrinkling around the eyes prematurely, says medical cosmetic practitioner Dr Mariusz Gajewski of Star Cosmetic Medicine in New South Wales, Australia.
Dr Gajewski went on to explain that there are three main causes for skin aging. Firstly, there is the assault of the sun on the collagen and elastin fibres in your skin that keep it firm and smooth. Secondly, the modifications to skin texture and pigmentation caused by UV rays. Lastly, there is the apparent movement of muscles under the surface of the skin which leads to an increase in the lines that show on the outer surface of it.
While good quality sun protection helps to prevent the first two issues, the only thing – thus far – that helps the influence of muscle movement making facial lines is Botox.
The most frequent areas for Botox injections are in the upper part of the forehead, the “frown” point between the eyebrows and the outer corner of the eyes. You may have already noticed lines and wrinkles in these areas on your own face.
For some people, the lines and wrinkles on their face show permanently, whilst others are slightly better off in that they only appear when they make certain facial expressions. Unfortunately though, once lines and wrinkles start to develop they will only get worse.
Having botox injections to improve your looks and self confidence is a relatively simple procedure to undergo. A doctor will makes a series of injections into the affected areas, and you can go home the same day. If you have just mild lines and wrinkles, you may only need just one round of injections; though you may need to visit your botox doctor several times if you have lots of lines or wrinkles, of if they are quite deep.
As for side effects, they are little more than minor. The most common problems are temporary bruising, swelling and pinprick pain at the injection site, explains Dr Mariusz Gajewski. These minor side effects last for just 24-48 hours are uncomfortable, rather than painful.
The only real problem with botox injections is when they are over used, so act with caution. Having the right amount of treatment will leave you looking fresher and revitalized, but have too much and you will look somewhat plastic and inexpressive.
With that in mind, Dr Mariusz Gajewski’s final piece of advice is to only enlist the services of reputable botox doctors. Ask for recommendations from friends and always check the credentials of those doctors that you are considering. It is best to arrange a face to face meeting with them prior to signing up for treatment, so that you learn as much as possible about them and the type of work that they specialize in.
