BOTOX...
Botox Cosmetic or Dysport are an exciting, simple and effective treatment for the correction of your facial wrinkles in a non-surgical way, especially the forehead frown lines, crow's feet (smile lines around the eyes) and the neck bands. It acts differently than body fillers since it weakens the facial muscles that cause wrinkles instead of filling them with a substance. This relaxes the skin and the wrinkles fade away.
Botox Cosmetic or Dysport (Botulinum A toxin ) are injected into the small muscles between the eyebrows, the temple or neck bands to inactivate the action of those muscles. The procedure takes a few minutes and is extremely effective, but it is not permanent. The result takes several days to develop and lasts 3-6 months. Long standing skin creases will soften and temporarily disappear. The result is a more softer, relaxed and fresher look. Repeat injections to maintain your appearance may be needed less frequently as the muscles weaken from disuse.
Following the procedure you may return to work but you are instructed to remain upright and to avoid any bending, lifting, physical exercise or lying flat for four hours to prevent diffusion of the toxin to other muscles. Possible side effects include mild bruising around the eyes. Although it is a rare occurrence you should not apply pressure to the brows or frown lines as this can diffuse the drug to other muscles and can lead to temporary drooping of the eyelid. This has happened after going to your salon. It is therefore recommended that you do not go and have your eyebrows waxed or your hair done for 1 week.
If you do not want or need surgery or you are unsuitable for surgery Botox may be of benefit to you in enhancing your appearance but it is not substitute for standard plastic surgical procedures such as eyelid tucks, facelifts, eyebrow/forehead lifts, etc. Botox is especially effective when combined with soft tissue fillers and/or microdermabrasion.
...What is "wrinklerexia"?...From Fox News: Millions of people get jabbed with Botox in hopes of maintaining a youthful look – but how much is too much?
"Used properly, Botox is a fantastic cosmetic surgery treatment giving smoother, tighter and more youthful looking skin,” Liz Dale, director of The Harley said in a news release. “But like with any procedure, it's highly unadvisable to have more done than is necessary.” The U.K.’s largest cosmetic surgery provider reports that some people are overly obsessed with getting a freeze-frame face.
As a result, the Harley Medical Group has announced that its surgeons are trying to curb the use of the anti-wrinkle product by recommending smaller doses — and even says some doctors are turning away patients who demand injections they don’t need.
There is even a new term for people binging on Botox called, “Wrinklerexia."
