This method is the preferred procedure
for eliminating wrinkles without the need for surgery. It
is completely safe and is an exceedingly simply procedure
to perform since it requires no anesthetics. Botox® injections
are basically made up of diluted botulinum toxin type A and are injected
into the facial muscles, weakening or paralyzing the muscles
which form the wrinkles by blocking the transmission between
their nerve endings.
This
procedure eliminates crow’s feet,
brow lines, vertical lines between the eyebrows, smile
lines, horizontal lines on the neck and any other irregularities
on your facial skin. Not only is Botox® advantageous when it
comes to changing the outlines of your face, but research
has proved that it helps to alleviate migraines, muscles spasms
(eyes and neck) and excessive sweating.
Whenever it comes to cosmetic
treatment, you need to keep in mind that no surgery will
ever provide a ‘perfect’ aspect to your face.
The aim of this procedure is to achieve an improvement, to
enhance your facial looks. This can help you augment your
self-confidence and make you feel better about yourself, while
keeping realistic expectations. This is one of the core values
we have here at Better Looks; we want our patients to be completely
satisfied with the results of their surgery and to heighten
their self-worth.
Candidates for this procedure usually
fall within the age range of 18 to 65. Keep in mind that Botox®
injections cannot be administered to pregnant women. But if
you are in good physical health, this method can be perfect
for you.
By
offering one of the best teams of surgeons
in the industry, Better Looks is aware of the diverse types
of needs our numerous patients may have. Therefore, we will
provide the most excellent service for you, not matter what
you are aiming for, and we will aid you in every possible
way in your pursuit to enhance your appearance.
As with every other treatment, Better
Looks obliges that their patients have a detailed discussion
with their doctor before the surgery is performed. By doing
so, both parties have the chance to place their input in the
whole process and to increase the client’s level of
satisfaction. When speaking with your doctor, please feel
free to talk honestly and to express your qualms as well as
your expectations. Your surgeon will help determine what isn’t
or what is possible to achieve, aiding you to improve your
looks in the best way possible.
During this initial meeting, your
doctor will evaluate your condition and determine if this
procedure is right for you. Some tests will be performed to
determine if you are allergic to the Botox® cosmetic components.
If you are, this method cannot be performed and you may have
to choose another solution.

The good thing about Botox® injections
is that it is a 10 minute non-surgical procedure. This means
that your appointment will be over really quickly and you
can fit in your sessions between your normal activities without
needed to take the whole day off.
Your doctor will apply several tiny
injections to the muscles causing your wrinkles or skin depressions.
He/she will determine where to inject depending on your ability
to move certain muscles in your face or neck, since the location,
size and use of these muscles can lead to wrinkles or furrows.
Botox® relaxes the muscles and prevents contraction, softening
the wrinkles on your skin.
No
anesthesia is utilized to perform this treatment, even though
it can be applied if you wish. Keep in mind that pain or discomfort
is minimal. These sessions are usually repeated once every
4 months.
There is no ‘downtime’
after Botox® injections. You can go back to your normal activities
as soon as you walk out of your doctor’s office. The
results of the injections will become evident a few days following
your session. However, you can expect mild swelling in the
injected areas 4 to 24 hours after your appointment.
Keep
in mind that you must not massage the treated areas, since
it can make the toxin spread to other parts of your face.
Better Looks encourages the use of your facial muscles 2 hours
afterwards, so that the absorption of the toxin is accelerated.
As with any type of cosmetic
treatment, complications are unusual, but they sometimes
do happen. However, they are usually minor and can be reduced
by precisely following your doctor’s directions before
and after the procedure.
However, some problems related with
Botox® injections are nausea, flu-like symptoms, headaches,
temporary eye droop and respiratory infections.
