Botox Injections For Wrinkles And More

Although some really good products like Athena 7 Minute Lift or Freeze 24/7 may be a temporary alternative offering some benefits -- but nothing works as long as a anti aging Botox treatment for wrinkles and a little facelift.

A little prick here and there ….and those pesky little wrinkles are gone. And, as an extra bonus, there’s a bit of a lift to the face if the Botox is injected into a muscle that pulls downward. Because that muscle is then paralyzed and will no longer be pulling the skin down.

An example of this is around the forehead and eyebrow area like the Brow Depressor Muscle. The Botox cosmetic injection prevents those muscles from pulling downward -- creating a non surgical eye brow lift.

Another example of a anti aging Botox treatment is to injection it at the corners mouth. This is the muscle that pull the corner of the mouth down, Corner of Mouth Depressor Muscle, causing that sad, tired look.

Botox is a natural, purified protein that paralyzes the muscles reducing facial movement and wrinkles. The active ingredient is botulinum toxin derived from the bacterium in a similar way that penicillin is derived from mold.

Botox Injections For Wrinkles - How Does It Work

Once Botox is injected it relaxes the facial muscles that contract causing lines and wrinkles. And since the muscle is no longer contracting -- pulling downward -- it provides a slight lift to that area. The treatment is quick, about 10 minutes in most cases.

Botox Average Cost

The average cost for Botox injections for wrinkles is between $250-$400 per session or for each area injected, i.e horizontal forehead creases, scowl lines between your eyebrows, crow's feet, and/or vertical wrinkles of your upper lip.

Some doctors charge according to how many cc’s are used -- cc means cubic centimeter. This is a volume measurement for most syringes.

Make sure you find out whether your doctor charges by the area or by the cc. I rather be charged by the cc, since I only need or want a very small amount.

Botox Results

It takes anywhere from 5-7 days to see the full results. And results can last from 3-6 months. However, after several injections you may only need to repeat them once or twice a year. I only need injections about once every 7-8 months.

Side Effects Of Botox Injections

Most common botox complication includes temporary headache, redness or swelling at the injection site. Most of these are gone by the next day.

Botox risks include: local muscle weakness including drooping eyelids, lack of feeling, skin tightness and nausea -- but these are very rare.

Botox injection for wrinkles are fairly safe with low risks. And considering that you can use Botox for wrinkles and a slight face lift.....It's probably one of the best cosmetic procedures to have in terms of safety and dual use.

Botox Injections for Wrinkles - Botox Products

My visitors who have tried this product have raved about their get results. One woman told me she uses it on not just her face, but her neck too.

Marlena said: I use one small pump, and massage it on my forehead and smile lines, after prep from the same line. It seems to tighten skin better when I use prep before. A little goes long way. It is light and doesn`t clog my pores. Before I use salicylic acid cleanser, which make pores clean and small. Every other day I also ude glycolic pads, and my skin changed really fast, for better of course! I realize that it`s better to use a small amount of cosmetics, so the skin is not overwhelmed, even if I layered different products. Just give time to absorb.
