Why Botox??? Well, look at my picture...see any lines?? Do I look fake or funny to you?? I don't feel funny!! The best way to summarize the answer to the Botox question is...it makes you look younger.
If that's what you want, Botox is the medication for you. As we age, the muscles of facial expression work day after day. Our surprised look, our concearned look, our mad look, and squinting from the sun or when trying to read all lead to eventual wrinkles in the skin. We get crows feet, lines in our forehead, elevens between the eyes and so on. This happens to everyone whether we like it or not. As these lines appear, sometimes as early as the 3rd decade of life, they start to show our age with only a glance. These lines are difficult to hide with cosmetics and may not only show your actual age but may make you look older than you really are.
Don't be depressed, have a low self esteem, and lose your confidence, DO something about it!!
What we have today is a whole armamentarium of therapy to make you look your best every day. Botox is the product I want to talk about a little. First of all it is very safe. It is next to impossible to have a severe complication from Botox. The safety profile is excellent. It has become very affordable as well. Usually the cost for treatment of the upper face is around $300.00. This will generally get the forehead, the elevens between the eyes and the crows feet. It is very quick and simple to do. We use the smallest needle we can find and use the highest concentration so that bumps after injection are usually non-existent. There is very little discomfort and it takes about five minutes. About the worst that can happen is a small bruise which is rare unless you are taking aspirin or ibuprofen.
After injection we have you briefly hold pressure on the areas and exercise the muscles we have treated. In 3-5 days or less the wrinkles will soften and many will disappear. The effect usually lasts for 3-6 months and for this time, the muscles are weakened and cannot crease the skin as badly. It does not paralyze the face or make you look "funny" if done properly. You will look refreshed and younger as the wrinkles fade. When the strength in the muscles creating your wrinkles starts to return, you will notice the change in the skin and then return for re-treatment. Most people have 2-3 treatments per year. After you quit paying for wrinkle creams that do not work and cosmetics to hide the wrinkles that are marginally effective, it is a good investment. If kept up with, you can go wrinkle free for years and if you keep up with good skin care as well, you will be miles ahead of the game.
