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. First off, the collagen and elastin fibres that keep your skin smooth and firm are damaged by exposure to the sun. Next, the sun's UV rays cause modifications to skin texture and pigmentation. And finally, the apparent movement of muscles below the skin's surface that add to the lines.
The first two of these three issues can be largely prevented by the use of good quality sun protection, but that solution has no effect on the the third issue. To repair the damage done by the sun to our facial muscle movements, Botox treatment is required.
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. Depending on your age, and how much time you spend in the sun, you may have already noticed these problem 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. However, once lines and wrinkles have started to develop as part of some facial expressions, the facial muscles will begin to adapt and before long they will probably be permenant.
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. How many rounds of injections you need is dependent on how many, and how deep, your lines and wrinkles are; if you only suffer mildly from them, you may only need one lot of injections.
You do not have to concerned about side effects, as they are minor at worst. 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.
If you would like Botox injections, remember that you need someone with the expertise and experience to determine where and how much to inject. Dr Mariusz Gajewski of Sydney's Star Cosmetic Medicine suggests asking your GP or dermatologist for a recommendation. - 30516
