What is Botox?
Botox is a safe, effective treatment which is administered by a licensed medical professional. The procedure involves a series of injections in and around the targeted treatment area. Botox helps relax the muscles which softens up the lines and wrinkles on the surface of the skin. Because it is a targeted treatment, it is more effective than needing to treat the entire body. To receive the maximum benefits of Botox, it is necessary to continue treatments every three to four months.
Benefits of Botox
Botox is able to target specific areas of need, offering patients the results they are seeking. In addition to being cosmetically beneficial, Botox also offers different medical benefits for patients suffering from certain ailments. Here are the many benefits patients experience when having Botox treatments in Los Angeles:
Anti-Aging
Botox helps relax the facial muscles resulting in youthful-looking skin. These treatments help reduce those wrinkles around the eyes and on the forehead, which allow for a person to age gracefully. Having younger looking skin also helps with a person’s self-esteem and help them feel more confident when interacting with others.
Bladder Control
Those suffering from overactive bladders may find relief from Botox treatments. When out of control, muscle contractions around the bladder can cause problems such as frequent urination and incontinence. Injections are targeted to help control bladder contractions and help patients have regular and normal urination.
Convenience
Getting Botox treatments take no longer than a normal visit to the doctor. There is no need to take time off for recovery. Treatments do need to be repeated regularly, but should be no more than three to four times per year.
Corrects Eye Problems
A little known benefit is that using Botox can help with certain eye conditions. Because the treatments help relax muscles, doctors are now using it to help patients correct their vision caused by certain problems. Eye conditions treated with Botox include crossed eyes, eyelid spasms and blurred vision.
Dropping Brow
When the brow line starts to drop, a person can appear to be sad or tired all the time. Botox gives the brow the lift it needs, which can also help eliminate the frown lines on the forehead. Botox helps the muscles in the forehead relax, giving them the ability to lift the brow line.
Excessive Sweating
Some patients use Botox to help treat their hyperhidrosis, which is a condition that causes excessive sweating. There are many factors, including biological, that cause excessive sweating. Botox injections help block the nerves that activate sweat glands to reduce the overall amount a person sweats. This treatment can be used on the forehead, palms and underarms.
Eye Twitching
Eye twitching is harmless, but can be very annoying. Botox has been known to successfully prevent eye twitching by relaxing the muscles around the eyes and on the eyelids.
Migraine Pain
Those who suffer from chronic migraines have found relief after undergoing Botox treatments. Botox does not get rid of the headache, but it does help reduce the major symptoms, such as light sensitivity and nausea. All of which helps make dealing with the migraine easier.
Non-surgical
The word “surgery” freaks some people out, thus making the fact that Botox is 100 percent non-surgical very appealing to many. Treatments do not require incisions or stitches and does not cause scarring. Botox is just a simple injection at the target area, meaning there is less hassle or time undergoing treatments.
Wrinkle and fine lines
Botox is the next best thing to finding the Fountain of Youth. Treatments can help reduce the signs of aging, helping patients look younger as fine lines and wrinkles are smoothed out. These lines are caused by a loss of elasticity in the skin which is a result of certain environmental factors, such as UV exposure. The most popular areas for this targeted treatment are on the neck, around the mouth and on the forehead.
Side Effects of Botox
Outside of seeing results, there are very little side effects to having Botox treatments. Some patients experience some bruising at the injection site. Others have some tenderness around the area or have a headache for a short period of time after the injection. These are just some of the most common side effects patients experience after undergoing Botox treatments. Some patients have also experienced dizziness, nausea and fever after treatments. Those who experience any of these treatments for a prolonged period of time should consult their physician to ensure effects are normal or to get help to treat the side effects.
