Remove Facial Lines And Wrinkles With Botox

By Mark Walters

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. First off, the collagen and elastin fibres that keep your skin smooth and firm are damaged by exposure to the sun. 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.

Having botox injections to improve your looks and self confidence is a relatively simple procedure to undergo. A doctor will makes a series of injections into the affected areas, and you can 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. They are uncomfortable, rather than painful, and last for just a day or two after having a set of botox injections.

The only real problem with botox injections is when they are over used, so act with caution. Having the right levels of botox injected at the right intervals will give you fresher, firmer features, but get either the amount of botox, or the length of time between treatments, wrong, and there is a chance of you looking somewhat inexpressive and plastic.

If you would like Botox injections, remember that you need someone with the expertise and experience to determine where and how much to inject. Dr Mariusz Gajewski of Sydney's Star Cosmetic Medicine suggests asking your GP or dermatologist for a recommendation.
