Botox is a miracle product invented by Dr. Alan B. Scott was invented. Scott was surprisingly not a cosmetic or plastic surgeon. He was an ophthalmologist but was interested in how Botox could be used in people with strabismus. He first isolated Botox, which was first used in 1980 to treat strabismus; since the early 1990s, it has also been used for cosmetic purposes.
Today, more and more people are recognizing the potential to not only reverse aging but to stay young forever. This is because Botox effectively puts the skin into hibernation. It alleviates facial stress and prevents facial aging. As a result, people who have been using Botox for more than ten years look significantly younger than those who do not receive regular Botox treatments.
Botox only works at the injected site. In the amounts used for cosmetic purposes, it has no effect on the entire body. It inhibits the action of a chemical called acetylcholine. Which is used to transmit nerve impulses to the muscles of the face. This means that the muscles relax and the skin adjacent to the muscles also relaxes. The effect lasts three to four months (up to six months in some cases), depending on the dose used.
Botox is most effective in the upper face and around the eyes. Wrinkles are particularly common in the upper face, including the forehead, between the eyebrows, and at the corners of the eyes. These are also the safest places to inject Botox. Where there is the least risk of affecting muscles that should not be paralyzed.
Keep in mind that Botox is generally effective, even for very deep wrinkles. Botox may not completely eliminate wrinkles but is used by an experienced and well-trained physician, it can restore a fresh appearance. Interestingly, many of my clients also say that Botox treatments give them a psychological boost. So a fresh look with Botox not only makes you look younger but can also be a good way to smile more.
