How Botox Treatments Can Repair The Damage Caused To You By The Sun
Have you noticed how more and more people are interested in 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. Next, the sun’s UV rays cause modifications to skin texture and pigmentation. 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.
Botox injections can be had on all areas of the face, but the most frequents ones are the “frown point” between the eyebrows, the outer corner of the eyes, and the upper part of the forehead. 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.
It is a relatively quick and simple procedure to have botox injection to improve your looks. After having a series of small injections, administered by a doctor, in your affected facial areas, you are free to 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. Dr Mariusz Gajewski says you should be prepared for slight swelling and temporary bruising. These minor side effects last for just 24-48 hours are uncomfortable, rather than painful.
You need to act with caution though, as the over use of botox injections is the only real problem with them. 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.
