As we grow older, we develop wrinkles along with what are often euphemistically referred to as ‘laugh lines.’ However, such lines on our face are certainly no laughing matter because they make us look aged and older than we may actually be.

This is where Botox comes in. Most Botox skin treatments essentially help smooth up and minimise the frown lines on the forehead, as well as the ones between the eyes, and at bottom of the nose. They also help eradicate a phenomenon known as “crow’s feet” which are basically creases that have been formed around the corners of the eyes. Once they fade away completely, your face would end up looking much younger.

Basically, this drug has the capacity of freezing your facial muscles for a few months and effectively removing those troublesome wrinkles. Some benefits of using Botox treatment include:

A non surgical procedure that would lift your face

Many men and women can now easily experience a return of their juvenescence without imbibing ‘Ambrosia’ the legendary nectar of the gods. Thanks to Botox treatment your wrinkles and age lines would simply fade away from as soon as 72 hours after treatment. And best of all there is no costly and painful surgery to go though, during this procedure.

Migraine reduction: The Botox way

Many clinical trails have proven that Botox treatment has been known to reduce migraines by as much as half or even more, thus limiting the severity of your headaches, if not eliminating them altogether.

Lift your brows!

As we grow older with the passage of time, our brow may start drooping making us look older than we are in real life. Botox treatment helps make the face look significantly less jaded and tired all the time, so that we appear as fresh as we did in our early 20s.

Say no to underarm sweat

Many of us suffer from over sweating in the underarm region. If underarm sweat and odour is a cause for embarrassment than Botox is the answer. In fact, Botox injection treatment in the affected area can eradicate this problem to quite an extent for a considerable period of time.

How it works

Basically Botox is administered directly in the affected area of the body though either one or a series of injections. The concentrated powder is diluted in a saline (sodium chloride) solution. The drug is then injected into the muscle tissue directly where it begins to numb that area. As a general rule, it takes around three days for any visible effects to be seen, but in some rare cases it may take up to five days or so for the frown lines and wrinkles to disappear, leaving you looking fresh and young all over again for a period lasting up to six months, before requiring any further treatment.

Note: Botox usage is not advisable for either pregnant or lactating women.
