Botox 101—Everything You Need To Know



In Canada, Botulinum Toxin (Botox) treatment was the top-most minimally-invasive cosmetic procedure done in 2015.   
Ageing can bring about many unwanted effects on a person’s skin, especially their face. The skin starts to sag, and wrinkles begin to form. During this time, a person can’t help but wish for the clock to reverse, to bring back the youthful glow on one’s face.
With advancements in medical science and research, it is now possible to reverse signs of ageing. The elixir used in this wizardry is Botox. Here is everything you need to know about this treatment.

What Is Botox?

Botox refers to a neurotoxin protein compound produced by bacteria. When injected in a specific area, it affects the working of nerves inside the muscle receptors of that area. This compound inhibits the ability of the nerves to aid in the production of more muscle. Now, the wrinkles produced by muscle contraction get eliminated completely. However, over time, these muscle receptors are regenerated and return to their original functionality.

Places Where Botox Is Commonly Used

These are some common areas Botox is injected into:
· Around the eyes to get rid of crow’s feet
· In glabella creases in the space between your eyes
· In the space between the brows
· In the forehead to get rid of wrinkles
· It can be injected for elevating the lip
· Into the armpits for inhibiting sweat

How Early Can You Get A Botox Done?

Botox is all about maintaining your facial features while dodging wrinkles due to age. While most people can avail this treatment, it’s advisable not to get unreasonable with it. People can start as early as in their twenties or thirties as the signs of ageing start appearing.

How Long Will It Take To Be Effective?

After the treatment, the neurotoxin can take 1 to 3 days to be fully effective. In some rare cases, it might also take up to 5 days.

After The Procedure

If the procedure is done correctly, there’s no need to avoid anything in the fear of messing up the treatment. Botox procedures only involve injecting the chemical into the required area where it binds to muscle receptors and does its job. However, your practitioner may advise you to wait for half an hour to prevent bruising of the area.

Benefits Of Botox

Botox is used for these benefits:

Non-Surgical Treatment For Signs Of Ageing

Botox provides an effective solution for wrinkles and lines and can make the skin look taut and smooth without needing surgical enhancements.

Effectively Lifts The Brows

Over time, the brows on your face can drop down to give your face a perpetual tired look. With Botox treatment, you can reverse this effect of ageing and make your face appear fresh and youthful.

Significantly Reduces Sweating

People who deal with excessive sweating know how embarrassing it can be. Botox treatment can significantly reduce the production of sweat and help people regain their confidence.
