When
lines and wrinkles on face and neck start stealing your beauty, then
it’s time to give beauty treatment a serious thought. Several procedures
are getting popular as demand keeps growing to stay youthful and
beautiful as you get older. Of these, Botox mainly steals headlines.
Containing Botulinum Toxin, the Botox injection helps relax muscles
which in turn results in smoothening out fine lines and wrinkles. It
can be effective if you want to get rid of forehead creases, crow’s
feet around eyes, fine lines around lips or skin bands on neck. Before
finalizing the Botox treatment it is very important to address some
serious issues, few of which are discussed below.
When to consider the Botox procedure
It
is a good option for those having moderate to severe wrinkles. Botox
can be injected in specific areas like the forehead, around the eyes,
the "11 lines" between eyebrows also known as glabella lines and around
the neck. The candidate’s general health condition should be good to
undergo such treatment. Finally, you need to have realistic expectations
about the improvement. Sometimes Botox is adopted to get rid of
excessive sweating of palms, soles or underarms.
Generally
the age group of mid 30s to mid 40s is considered ideal for Botox
injections. However recent trend indicates significant reduction in the
age groups as patients in their late 20s to early 30s are also enquiring
about this beauty treatment. Aesthetic medicine practitioners feel that
there is no such fixed age limit to undergo this anti-aging treatment
provided your skin condition demands Botox and your health condition
supports it.
Who shouldn’t consider Botox?
There are certain health situations when it would be risky to go for Botox injections. Those
who are allergic to Botox ingredients or other Botulinum Toxin products
shouldn’t think of this particular anti-aging procedure. If the
candidate has skin infections at the particular point of injection, is
pregnant or breast-feeding, or affected with certain muscle or nerve
conditions like Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) or myasthenia gravis
shouldn’t consider Botox. Besides someone suffering from severe illness
or infections is not a good candidate for Botulinum Toxin injections.
Points to remember while seeking Botox
It
should be done under the guidance of a qualified and experienced doctor
or skincare expert who is competent in offering aesthetic medical
services. Discuss your requirements in detail and ask the doctor’s
opinion about whether your demands can be met or not. Also provide a
brief of your health condition so that the doctor can assess your
adaptability to the treatment. It is always advisable to have basic
knowledge about the procedure. This way you feel comfortable while
agreeing to the treatment. A visit to the doctor’s clinic certainly
helps in knowing the ambiance, and assessing its hygienic factor. In
order to maintain the result, one needs to follow at least 3-4 Botox
cycles per year. A wiser approach would be to let the aesthetic medicine
practitioner decide the treatment frequency.
Beauty
treatments like Botox are meant to enhance your beauty and natural
look. So, make sure to do it the right way and avoid disastrous results.
