Contributing Factors to the Effectiveness of Botox

Saturday, May 30th, 2009
Dr Barry Eppley recently asked:


the most popular cosmetic medical treatment and has been largely responsible for generating a wave of medspa and other office location treatment facilities. Such facilities require injector providers, many of whom are non-cosmetic physicians and nurses. The simplicity of its use and the predictability of its results makes such treatments seem easy with few complications or problems.

How simple a procedure is to do does not always equate with getting a good result. In most cases, it is difficult to not chose Botox as a correct treatment for undesired lines and wrinkles from hyperactive or normal ****** expressions. Whether it is the glabellar furrows or crow’s feet, Botox is always the first (and really only good) treatment of choice. Below the eyes, however, Botox is often not the only or even the best treatment for wrinkling problems around the mouth and neck. Most times, the mouth and neck are better off with either other minimally-invasive treatments or actual plastic surgical procedures. The problem is….if your treatments options are limited to mainly injection therapies….a patient’s result will not only be limited and disappointing but a waste of a patient’s money.

For Botox to be maximally effective, it must be mixed properly and used relatively promptly. Botox comes as a powder in a bottle that is so minute it is virtually impossible to see. It is reconstituted with saline on-site and, although the manufacturer provides recommendations as to how it is to be mixed (how much saline is put into the bottle), the treatment provider can do as they will. Because of potential profitability, the temptation exists for some to create a more dilute solution of Botox by simply adding more saline when it is mixed. This creates more Botox available to be injected and a greater number of patients can be treated….but it may not work very well and its results will mot usually last as long if it works at all. The patient obviously has no knowledge as to how the Botox they are to receive is mixed…and I have found most patients don’t even know how many units they have or usually receive. They simply know the price they paid. How long after it is mixed that the Botox is used also affects its effectiveness. Botox is not like wine….age does not make it better. After it is mixed it should be used within 24 to 48 hours at the longest. While the manufacturer recommends hours to a day, a day or two after mixing does not seem to change its effectiveness. How ‘old’ the Botox you have received is unknown to any patient. How busy the practice or location is where you receive Botox is one indication of how fresh the Botox may be. (how many patients do they treat regularly with Botox) Daily? Weekly? Monthly? The busier a practice is, the more likely they will have fresher Botox.

Botox is a remarkable medical treatment that offers unparalleled wrinkle-reduction results in the forehead and around the eyes. While it is a simple injection treatment, its results can be affected by the training and experience of the injector and how it is reconstituted and when after it is used.

Botox: Anti Wrinkle Injections May Not Be All They’re Cracked Up To Be

Thursday, May 28th, 2009
Dylan recently asked:


Beautyblogtalk.com’s expansive collection of reviews features even more facts on Botox.

Find a detailed review of Botox at Beautifulreview.com, a highly informative skin care product review site.







Review Summary

Botox™ is safe to use with other topically applied beauty products such as creams sold over the counter. Botox™, however, is available only through a qualified physician. The makers of this product have compiled a network of recommended physicians available to provide services through the manufacturer’s website. Millions of men and women have received the Botox™ treatment and report a high level of success.

Ingredients at a Glance

Botox™ uses only one ingredient, a purified protein known as Clostridium botulinum bacterium.

Ingredients in Focus

This sole ingredient in the Botox™ allows the signs of aging to disappear for up to 4 months by minimizing the movement of certain muscles in the face. According to the maker of the product users still have a full range of motion to make normal ****** expressions, although sometimes use of the product is quite evident. Instead, it limits the movement of muscles responsible for making the face look wrinkled. The manufacturer claims that the product works quickly so one doesn’t have to wait months to see results. The results may appear as quickly as in a few days. The product has treated millions of patients and resulted in few complaints compared to the many success stories.

Positives

Botox™ has a high rate of success. This product is safely administered by a medical doctor.



Negatives

Botox™ has no guarantees. Botox™ avoids using or promoting products with ingredients such as Matrixyl 3000. This product is temporary regardless of how many treatments one receives over time. Botox™ may require paying a physician out of pocket, since it’s not a medical expense per se.



Final Thoughts


Botox™ works very well for many patients. It requires a simple procedure which includes injection into the ****** region. Some may feel discomfort or be afraid of needles, but at this time there are no alternative means of treatment. The manufacturer doesn’t list the price of the product since it’s administered through independent physicians the price may vary, but you may expect it to be pricey. There do not appear to be any common side effects. Since the product is administered by a physician it provides an opportunity for one to inquire about any concerns prior to treatment.

BOTOX - The Temporary Wrinkle Solution

Thursday, May 28th, 2009
Harald Anderson recently asked:


/>Botox has made a huge splash in the health and beauty market because of its ability to erase and minimize wrinkles. The stunning success of the BOTOX solution has had beauty enthusiasts lining up to receive their wrinkle treatments. Are botox treatments safe? After all BoTOX is a protein toxin produced by clostridium botulinum bacteria. This is the first cousin to the deadly botulism bacteria.



Botox has been safely used by opthamoligists for over a decade without any serious side effects being reported. This drug has actually been around since the early 1960’s. Originally it was used as a treatment for crossed eyes. The manner in which botox works is that it is injected into the muscle where the wrinkles appear. When the botox is injected into the muscle the frown lines, crow’s feet and laugh lines temporarily disappear. I stress the use of the word “temporary” because a botox treatment normally lasts about 3 to 6 months. Botox treatments were approved by the Food and Drug Administration as a treatment of muscles that produce frown lines.



Botox injections have quickly become the fastest growing cosmetic procedure and are anticipated to be used on over 4.5 million patients in 2006. They are more popular than ****** augmentation. Current botox patients report that after several treatments that the effects of this wrinkle cure last much longer. It is important to note that Botox is ineffective for fine wrinkles because fine wrinkles do not appear because of ****** expression caused by ****** muscles. On the flipside, the one negative of botox treatments is a slight and temporary drooping of the eyelid. At the present time this appears to be the most important side effect of botox treatment.



While botox has been safely used by millions of patients, it is recommended that pregnant women, or women who are breastfeeding their babies as well as patients suffering from neurologic disease should never use botox.



Botox treatments do not work for everyone. However, over 90% of patients who have been surveyed are extremely happy with this procedure. This temporary cure for wrinkles has created quite a bit of excitement in the health and beauty field. This procedure is administered by qualified plastic surgeons. The average cost for a simple botox treatment is about $200 - $400 for each area that it is applied to

The Emergence of Botox as A Headache Treatment

Wednesday, May 27th, 2009
Lee Dobbins recently asked:


Botulinum toxin A has been around for about three decades, but its many benefits to the health of patients taking it are just starting to surface.

Medical doctors, especially in the United States, started injecting what is more popularly known as botox to patients who suffer from an eye disorder known as strabismus. Strabismus is characterized by an abnormal misaligning of the eyes, leading to crossed eyes.

In 1989, the US Food and Drug Administration approved the use of botox as a treatment for eye muscle disorders like uncontrolled twitching. Thus, the use of botox in the medical profession became wide spread.

But like many other drugs, the potential of botox has expanded beyond its original purpose. In the recent years, the drug has also been discovered to treat the awkward excessive underarm sweating and more importantly, to get rid and prevent wrinkles in the face.

Cosmetic treatment

It is its use as cosmetic treatment that botox’s popularity rapidly shot up. From the United States, cosmetic surgeons and practitioners from across the globe started injecting botox to vanity-conscious patients who aim to prevent the onset of ageing in their faces.

Many ageing ladies, and several men as well, prefer to use botox to preventive premature and timely ageing wrinkles. It is because unlike other forms of treatment, botox does not involve the use of scalpels and surgical procedures.

The doctor would just need to inject the drug to several specific areas of the face and the neck for its effect to linger for at most six months. The satisfying result on earlier patients also has helped make the popularity of botox even more evident.

Botox as headache treatment

But did you know that recently, another used of the drug has been discovered accidentally? Yes, aside from helping patients prevent and control ageing wrinkles and eye muscle spasms, botox has been discovered as a potent drug to treat severe headaches.

In the medical profession, headaches were largely dealt by neurologists who specifically focus on the illness’ diagnosis and cure. But until recently, plastic surgeons were accidentally linked to a longer-term treatment of headaches or migraines.

Several clinical tests have proven that the patients who were injected with the botox treatment for eye spasms and aesthetic purposes were spared from the onset and occasional attacks of migraines.

Surveys covering botox patients also confirm the notion. Those patients emphasized that after using botox, they have not experienced severe and even mild headaches, for at least six months.

Specific injection points

However, doctors note that to be able to treat headache episodes, botox has to be injected in specific areas of the body. Particularly, studies and reports of patients indicate that botox has to be injected in any of the following areas: the side and the back of the head, the forehead, the eyes and the muscles of the brow.

Other than the specified areas, botox injections are not found to lead to the prevention and cure of headaches. Those who suffer migraines on a daily, weekly and regularized basis are singled out as the primary beneficiaries of the new botox purpose.

It is logical that from the start of this new discovery, botox would further become popular not just for beauty-conscious people, but also for those who have grown tired of consulting to neurologists for the treatment of headaches.

Surpassing neurologists’ prescriptions

The traditional headache treatments have almost become obsolete with the emergence of botox as a headache treatment. Thus, neurolgists’ patients have expressed relief that they have been given alternative treatments than the conventional drugs for headaches like the sumatriptan, or more commonly known as Imitrex.

Side effects

Almost all medicines and treatments have side effects, and of course, botox is of no exception. However, the side effects linked to botox treatment are limited to inability to move the brow muscles, which to some patients is good because frown lines in the forehead can be alleviated.

Other than that, there is no other side effect linked to botox intake.

Botox has truly become extremely useful in the medical world. It is no wonder that the drug’s popularity continuously rises up as years go by. Those who are afraid of needles are now given more reasons not to fear injections anymore.

Botox Cosmetic for Men

Tuesday, May 26th, 2009
Spero Theodorou recently asked:


Often patients who have fine lines and wrinkles as a result of the natural aging process, repetitive ****** expressions, or gravity can get rid of them with BOTOX cosmetic injections. BOTOX cosmetic treatment works not only for females but also for men. Men often require more units of BOTOX than women because men have greater muscle mass when compared to women.

What is BOTOX Cosmetic for Men?

BOTOX is Botulism Toxin Type A – a purified protein, when injected, relaxes the ****** muscles that form wrinkles on your face, thus leaving you with a more youthful appearance. All the troublesome facial wrinkles begin to fade or disappear within a couple of days, following the treatment. The procedure takes only 10 minutes to complete. Deep-set wrinkles of the forehead, scowl lines that often appear between the eyebrows, crow’s feet wrinkles around the eyes, smoker’s lines, and vertical wrinkles - all can be corrected with this procedure.

With BOTOX cosmetic, men can now dramatically improve the appearance, naturally and effortlessly without harmful side effects. But the effects are not permanent and may last from 3 to 6 months. Therefore, to maintain the desired results repeat injections are often necessary.



Benefits of BOTOX


•    Results with no downtime

•    Results that look natural

•    Minimal discomfort

•    Quick and simple procedure

•    No anesthesia required

If you are looking for a quick and safe solution to remove those fine lines and wrinkles, and get a more youthful, rejuvenated appearance, then BOTOX cosmetic injection would be the best option. Always make sure that the physician you choose is well experienced and talented.
