Some have had laser treatments, some have spend exorbitant amounts on new face creams, some have tried holistic or natural approaches. Woman and I might add men are always onrepparttar quest for a more youthful appearance. Many have turned to Botox® .

Botox® ® isrepparttar 148439 trade name for botulinum toxin A.What Botox® does is “paralyze muscles and soft tissue fillers” which are derived from natural collagen and restore plumpness. Originally Botox® was used to treat uncontrollable blinking. Doctors soon discoveredrepparttar 148440 patients being treated for blinking were obtaining a more youthful appearance – thusrepparttar 148441 future of Botox® took a turn downrepparttar 148442 cosmetic road.

The protein compound of Botox® actually causes botulism which can result in paralysis. When it is injected intorepparttar 148443 skinrepparttar 148444 muscle stops contracting it causesrepparttar 148445 skin to relax andrepparttar 148446 wrinkle to soften.

Some people are having “Botox® Parties” where everyone gets together for cocktails and their Botox® injection. We strongly recommend you do not partake in these parties. Seek medical advise if your are considering a Botox® treatment. If you are thinking about a Botox® treatment make certain your Doctor uses FDA approved Botox® and only get treatments form a licensed Doctor. Dermatologists or Plastic Surgeons arerepparttar 148451 most expert in administering Botox® so if either of these are an option I would recommend taking that route. Get a few recommendations for doctors and check each one out thoroughly. Check if they are board certified, get references if at all possible, schedule an appointment for a consultation which will give you a better indication if you are comfortable with your choice. Ask your doctor to show you before and after pictures of procedures he has done.
