www.drfrodo.com When you frown, your eyebrows move towards each other. This process happens subconsciously several times a day, and can result in vertical lines between the eyebrows. Because the skin loses elasticity as it ages and the frown muscles have been used more frequently, these lines become more noticeable and the eyebrows move slightly downward. Sometimes this combination can create an unhappy or cross expression. Luckily, these problems can be treated effectively with Botox Botox relaxes the frown muscles, which lifts the eyebrows slightly and prevents the frown lines from deepening. Your expression appears refreshed and friendly once again. www.drfrodo.com

Botox injections may give you more wrinkles next to the ones they remove. This was revealed by doctors who said that the popular wrinkle fighter that is used by celebrities and thousands of men and women worldwide may do more harm than good in the long run.
Dr David Becker, assistant professor of dermatology at Weill Cornell Medical College in New York, said that while Botox is safe when used properly, it eventually creates new wrinkles. This happens because the paralyzed facial muscles force other muscles to move in an effort to recreate the facial expressions that Botox has blocked.
“What can happen is that other nearby muscles compensate - this can have the effect of actually creating new wrinkles,” Becker said.
One of the areas where Botox is commonly used is the scowl line between the eyebrows. When injected, Botox temporarily paralyzes the muscles there and its freezing effects prevent people from frowning. Since there is no muscle contraction, no wrinkles are formed. But the procedure comes with a price.
“In this case, following treatment, muscles in the upper nose, middle eyebrow and eyelid may try to recreate the expression of a scowl. Repetitions of this action cause new wrinkles,” warned Becker.
“I have seen this happen, particularly when people have Botox between the eyebrows. Because they know they can’t frown in that area, they tend to over-compensate in other areas, and screw up their nose and crinkle their eyes in the effort to frown,” added Dr Patrick Bowler, chair of the British Association of Cosmetic Doctors.
Although the new wrinkles are usually less prominent, Becker said more injections are needed to treat them, creating a vicious cycle. To avoid further problems, the patient can stop treatment or use Botox elsewhere. In any case, Becker said doctors and patients should be aware of this risk.
Botox is the trade name of botulinum toxin type A, a deadly neurotoxin that comes from the Clostridium botulinum bacterium. It works by blocking the release of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine that is needed for muscular contractions. When muscles can’t tighten or contract, the skin flattens and appears smoother and less wrinkled. Botox takes effect in 3 – 4 days and lasts for 3 – 4 months. Repeated injections cause the muscles to thin, producing longer lasting results.
In Britain alone, over 4,000 women have Botox injections every month and Botox parties are a common sight. The affordability of this “lunch time facelift” has made Botox one of the most popular anti-aging treatments.
If you don’t want to take chances with Botox because of its possible side effects, you can try the Rejuvinol AM/PM Botox Alternative Age-Defying System. This Hollywood beauty secret consists of the Rejuvinol morning moisturizer that protects your skin from aging, the sun, and the elements; and the Rejuvox night cream that relaxes tense muscles and smoothens skin.

You can add wrinkles to death and taxes on the short list of things that are certain in life. As you age, the supple skin of youth gradually gives way to fine lines around your eyes, across your forehead, and between your brows. The non-surgical wrinkle reducer BOTOX ® Cosmetic now lets you graciously decline encroaching wrinkles instead of accepting the frown lines of the over-30 crowd.
BOTOX ® treatments for the temporary reduction of brow wrinkles have been approved by the Federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) since 2002. It is an extremely popular cosmetic treatment and over one million people have indulged in its face smoothing benefits.
To understand how BOTOX ® works, you need to understand how you develop frown lines. As years go by, your skin loses some of its natural elasticity and fails to bounce back from the movement and stretching that takes place as your facial muscles continually flex and release. This wear on your skin is evident in the fine lines that begin to form as early as your late 20s or early 30s when your skin stops returning completely to its smooth form.
How BOTOX ® Reduces Your Wrinkles
BOTOX ® Cosmetic treatment is a protein obtained from the Clostridium botulinum bacteria. When small amounts of this protein are injected into muscle tissue, the nerve impulses to the muscles are blocked and paralyze the muscle. Because BOTOX ® is only used on small facial muscles around your brow, the paralysis is minute but the effect on the lines of your upper face is quite noticeable. Without the continual movement of muscles wearing on your skin, the skin has a chance to return to a smoother state.
After receiving a BOTOX ® treatment, people usually see results within a few days and improvement continues to rise for the first month. The wrinkle reduction is typically visible for up to four months before the protein is cleansed from the body and the effect fades.
What Is a BOTOX ® Treatment Like?
If you were to get a treatment, you would receive several tiny injections of BOTOX ® to the facial muscles around your brows. The process takes approximately 10 minutes and involves brief discomfort. The momentary pain of the injections can be reduced with the application of an anesthetic cream beforehand. The short amount of time needed for a BOTOX ® treatment and the absence of recovery time contribute to its rising popularity for cosmetic relief of wrinkles.
It is important to note that who administers BOTOX ® treatments varies. It can, of course, be done by a physician, but many service providers have nurses or physicians’ assistants handling the injections. It will be up to you to consider who should administer your BOTOX ® treatments should you choose to get them.
As you explore your options for rejuvenating your face, keep in mind that BOTOX ® has only temporary results. However, the treatment can be repeated as you need it, and its speedy application and affordability have tremendous appeal for wrinkle relief.

Sharon Bell recently asked:
Jay Nichols has spent £3,000 on Botox for the past two years. The 32-year-old model and dancer from Battle, East Sussex, England, gets the shots every three months to maintain her looks.
“I hated my wrinkles and didn’t want to look old before my time. I’d already had a boob job and went for regular saline injections to plump up my lips at £500 each, so having Botox wasn’t such a big deal,” she told the Daily Mail.
Lisa Jeynes, 37, a TV presenter and former Big Brother contestant, has been very critical of the lines and wrinkles on her face. So she reinvented herself with a little help from Botox. She spends £1,000 a year for the procedure.
“Once you start having Botox, it’s very hard to stop as you get used to the way your face looks. I am terrified that if I stop now, all my frown lines and wrinkles will return,” she said.
Victoria Leighton-Clark, 45, of Haughton, Cheshire, began her Botox treatments after her husband died of a heart attack. The operations director has three injections a year at £190 a session.
“I didn’t want a facelift or invasive surgery - this is a much more subtle way of enhancing the way you look,” the Daily Mail quoted her.
Nichols, Jeynes, and Clark are but a few of the faces in the growing list of people who are addicted to Botox. For these people, beauty has become an obsession that is pursued regardless of the cost. For them, cosmetic procedures like Botox have become a quick fix to their daily problems and unreasonable insecurities.
“People can become addicted to the anticipation, the excitement and the attention they receive. There is a short-lived result of feeling fabulous, but after the post-procedure high, life goes back to normal and all the mundane problems return, so you need to go for another fix,” explained Dr. Eileen Bradbury, a consultant psychologist at the Alexandra Hospital in Cheadle near Manchester.
Adam Searle, president of the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons, said four in 10 people who use Botox are compelled to do so repeatedly. He believes that many patents are suffering from imagined ugly body syndrome (also known as body dismorphic disorder), where they become obsessed at improving their appearance even though nothing is wrong with them.
Searle’s suspicions were confirmed in a recent survey of 10,000 British women aged 25 to 60 made by the makers of Botox. The survey revealed that 60 percent of the respondents were willing to have injections owing to the pressure to look beautiful. Moreover, only four percent of the women felt they were attractive.
If looks are important to you but you don’t want to be a Botox junkie, get all the help you need from the Rejuvinol AM/PM Botox Alternative Age-Defying System. This powerful anti-aging formula has two components: the Rejuvinol morning moisturizer that nourishes and tones the skin; and the Rejuvox night cream that reduces fine lines and wrinkles.
