| | What To Consider Before Having Botox InjectionsWritten by Kelly Altodona
Botox is revered by millions as answer to achieving a more youthful appearance without having to resort to "going under knife." Botox injections can dramatically soften expression lines, worry lines, frown lines, crow's feet and laugh lines. Botox is actually a paralyzant made from botulism toxin that is injected under beneath wrinkles. These wrinkles occur as muscles under skin contract when we laugh, smile or frown. Paralyzing muscles with botox prevents world from seeing how much we've aged by relaxing facial muscles and smoothing out surface skin. However before you book an appointment with a dermatologist or cosmetic surgeon for a Botox treatment there are a few factors that you might want to consider first.Be aware that not all Botox is created equal. This is because Botox became most most popular cosmetic procedure performed in United States long before it was approved on FDA. This lack of federal regulation allowed certain practitioners to dilute botox with saline and then sell these injections for about $99.00 U.S. This sharply undercuts U.S. national price of $340 per injection (or per facial area. Botox is not cheap stuff so it would be wise not to go for bargain botox, as there can be grotesque complications as a result. It is very likely saline in diluted botox can migrate into other muscle areas causing problems such as double vision, droopy eyelids, droopy lips, uncontrollable tearing and drooling. It is also not a good idea to get botox if you are pregnant or breast-feeding. Remember this is a toxin that has like any other foreign substance potential to migrate to other places in body. Although some cosmeticians and surgeons will tell you it is okay to have botox as long as you don't breast feed your baby for two days afterwards your best course of action is to not get botox at all if you are nursing!
