What is Botox®, and How Does it Work?
Since its introduction and approval in 2002, Botox® has become the number one cosmetic surgery procedure in the United States, according to the statistics of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. This seemingly magic cure for deep-set frown lines and rugged furrowed brows is very popular among politicians and Hollywood actors. With its relatively low cost and long lasting effects, over 4 million people in the U.S chose Botox treatments in 2006 alone.
Botox is made of a sterile form of botulinum toxin, which is injected under the skin to deaden the nerve endings that cause wrinkles. When injected, the toxin inhibits the release of the chemical acetylcholine, which signals the muscles in your face to contract. Since those muscles are chemically paralyzed, they do not pinch the skin and cause wrinkles to form.
Even though Botox is made from a deadly toxin produced by Clostridium botulinum, it is relatively safe. The toxin itself is extracted from the live bacteria, and no live bacteria are injected into the skin. There is no chance of contracting botulism. Only small, localized doses of the toxin are administered during treatments, and the risks are relatively small.
The toxin treatment was first approved to treat blepharospasm (twitching eye muscles) in 1989. Cosmetically desirable effects of Botox were noticed when the frown lines between the eyebrows were observed to soften following treatment applied for eye muscle disorders. Subjects no longer had deep creases or folds of tissue near the areas where the injections were given.
These observations lead to clinical trials and subsequent FDA approval as a cosmetic application in April 2002. As of 2006, Botox injection are the most common cosmetic procedure in the United States.
Since Botox is not an injectable filler, but a chemical blocker, many wrinkle lines are not treated with Botox. Sun damaged skin and other wrinkles that are not caused by neuromuscular action are better treated with injectable fillers like collagen or Restylane.
The number of injections needed is based on the area being treated. Crow's feet might only take from two to five injections where as glabellar lines (furrowed brow) might take eight to ten injections. The injection sessions usually only take from ten to fifteen minutes of your time, and you can resume normal activities right away.
Like all medical treatment, Botox does have potential side effects.
Some of the side effects may include:
• Pain
• Bruising
• Redness
• Nausea
• Headache
• Ptosis (drooping of upper eyelid)
There is virtually no down time after a Botox injection treatment, you can resume a normal day as soon as you leave the physician's office. Be careful not to rub or massage the treated area as this could cause the injected material to migrate to other areas. Full results are seen after a few days, and last up to six months. Re-injections are needed to maintain your new fresh appearance. Cosmetic Botox® injections should be given no more than once every three months.
It is important to find a doctor who has experience with Botox injections to minimize risks, and ensure proper dosing. Botox is delivered to the physician in dry form and must be reconstituted with the right amount of saline. Each vial of Botox is intended for onetime use on a single patient.
A growing phenomenon around the country is the so-called "Botox parties" where a clinician will open up his clinic and basically throw a party. As the participants wait their turn for injection, they socialize and have fun. The FDA has issued warnings about these types of events as they can diminish the serious nature of the injections and their use. However, when compared to other cosmetic treatments, the complication rate of Botox is remarkably low. A recent campaign to put more severe warnings on Botox by the group Public Citizen, listed only one death from cosmetic treatment with the drug. Considering the millions of treatments performed annually, this represents a fraction of a tenth of a percent of a percent of risk.

Anti Aging And Beauty
It makes sense to learn about the skin, what it harbors and review the anti-aging solutions before spending hard earned money. On the marketplace, literally there are hundreds of products available, which claims to reduce wrinkles, lines, and crowfeet. The products claims to remove blotches, freckles, pores and other problems that interrupt the face. The face has collagen. Collagen is an indissoluble fiber protein, which transpires in the vertebrate working as a principal ingredient of connecting tissue fibril in bones, and its purpose is to yield a glutton material in the skin known as gelatin and sticky stuff on long-drawn-out exposure to heating with water. Some of the known causes of wrinkles is because of aging, worrying, and fatigue. However, new studies are showing that tanning beds, sun, coldness, smoke and other harmful elements can cause the skin to wrinkle prematurely. Freckles also occur from direct sunlight, especially if sun hit the skin excessively. Freckles are smallish brown spots about the skin that usually occurs with precipitations of pigments that engorge in count and intensity of exposure to sun rays. Thus, spending hours in the sun or in tanning beds can cause freckles. Splotches then come from over exposure to the sun's rays as well. Thus, to decide on anti-aging products we must consider what the skins requires maintaining healthy glows, while minimizing its growing process to a natural level. As we age, nature gives us a small amount of lines, wrinkles, and so on to let us know we are getting older. Thus, excessive wrinkling of the skin, lines, and other problems of the skin is often caused by negligence and/or overexposure to one thing or the other. Many of the products for reducing wrinkles today have their own ingredients with few products having harmful chemicals. Alcohol regardless of who says otherwise is never a good choice of solutions for applying to skin. Alcohol has a secondary element known as ethanol, which is highly flammable. Thus, applying any product with alcohol ingredients obviously is not a good choice. Some of the better products for reducing wrinkles can be discovered in reviews. Reviews is the ultimate option for learning about the products. Marketers will tell you anything just to make a sell; therefore, listening to the voices that have utilized the products can help you make up your mind which product to purchase. Realize that many of the products for anti-aging is expensive, therefore, learning about the product can help you save a fortune. Anew Clinical Deep Crease Concentrate is one of the newest products that came available produced by Avon. However, after reading several reports the products in non-effective. I've tried Anew Clinical, which is a two-step facial peel process. The product comes with peeling visage E-tapes and has 10% Glycolic Phase, Phase 10% GLYCOLIQUE, AND 30 pads/30 tampons. The solution recommends that you use it 'every other day' anytime during the day or evening hours. Step 1 is smoothing the texture of the skin wait five minutes and procedure to step two. While I used the product until it was gone, it did nothing in the way of removing my crowfeet and lines. The product cost around $35 and for me to buy again, it will have to be a sale of around $10 or less. Other products I've used personally included NICEL. The product is suppose to minimize lines, enhance texture and dullness of the skin, remove layers of dead cells from the skin, while enhancing the features of the face by adding youth, health and radiance. I've used the cream for some time now, and in my opinion, it is not worth anything but to add a little moisture. I haven't used the entire jar yet, but after a month or two of use, the label has lied. Vitamin E Fruit of the Earth I used also, which supposedly adds moisture to the skin, while soothing the face, and protecting the skin providing a younger, softer look. The product is not a byproduct tested on animals, however, I have notice nothing in line of what the product confesses it will do. On the other hand, I split the usage between the NICEL products, which could be the reason the Vitamin E has not shown a result.
