Botox
With age, all of us present a facial aging, with the emergence of wrinkles, flabbiness and expression marks. These expression marks are provoked by the action of facial muscles. The intensity of use of these muscles varies from one person to another. What happens along the time is that the muscle is contracted repeatedly and is hypertrophied and its tonus increased (Tonus is the contraction degree that remains in the muscle even at rest).
Everything happens as if the muscle of expression had been submitted to a muscular activity program. This hypertrophy forms furrows and wrinkles that appear in a very marked way in the moment of expression and it remains in a slighter degree, even when the muscle is not contracting. These furrows and wrinkles remain exactly due to the effect of the hypertrophy and to the muscular tonus. Also, the action of solar light provokes photo aging, it removes the elasticity of the skin, and that whole process increases giving an aged aspect to the skin of the face.
Botox is used to correct the expression wrinkles. The wrinkles of the forehead, the furrow between the brows and the famous "crow’s feet" can be benefited with the method. The technique consists of injecting the substance into the muscle whose hypertrophy and tonus provoke the emergence of wrinkles. A temporary paralysis is obtained, with the disappearance of the lightest wrinkles and reduction of the deepest ones. The expression does not alter and there are no unpleasant sensations. The duration of the effect is from 4 to 6 months, and later disappears. What happens is that the muscle, forced to rest by Botox, atrophies, and even when the contraction action returns, it takes some time for the muscular effect to return with hypertrophy and the muscular tonus returns. The application of Botox can be then repeated.
With the temporary paralysis of the muscle, the conditioning habit that forms expression marks decreases, and thus, the speed of emergence of new wrinkles is slower. Then even stopping the use, a beneficial effect remains. With the repeated applications, there is a tendency for this effect to increase in some cases.
The product is liberated by the American FDA as a muscular blockage and when used by trained doctors, does not present complications.
Nowadays, other areas of the body and of the face have been treated with Botox, as in the cleavage of the breasts, for wrinkles in the neck, in the area around the lips, for smiles showing the gums, to raise the tip of the nose, and others.
If you want to have a younger face again and you do not want to submit to a surgery, the application of Botox can be a fast, simple and low cost solution.
