How To Be Confident With Botox & Its Truth

Posted by Forrest Tober on November 8th, 2017

Botox remains to be a taboo subject matter to date, especially when beauty treatments are concerned.

 We have talked with an expert from Botox Kent, and they have shown as the underlying truth about HydraFacial MD Procedures in Papillion and what you need to know before you finally take the plunge.

1. It is called Neurotoxin

Botox is a brand name for Neurotoxin. The most common places where Botox is injected are the forehead, frown or laugh lines, and the under eye area. Some people would use it on their lower face to soften the lines as well. The molecules linked to the nerve endings of the muscles block the stimuli from the nerves that make the muscle contract often.

2. Botox is different from fillers

Fillers are made of gel and they are not a toxin. They are injected under the skin and not inside the muscle. The most common filler is the HA or hyaluronic acid which is naturally occurring within the body. You can use fillers in places in the body that lack volume as you age such as your cheeks or lips. They both address problematic fine lines in various ways.

3. Do some research

The best way to come across someone who expertly administers Botox is through referrals and word of mouth. A recommendation from Dermal fillers Kent or your loved ones and friends can help. Avoid anyone providing cheap deals, as it can eventually end in an ugly botched job. Get what you paid for with Botox. You can have it administered only by licensed doctors, nurse, or medical professional and Botox is only available via prescription. Do not attempt to have this procedure done by a non-professional.

4. Always know that less is more

Too much Botox can result in the freezing of your face. Muscle atrophy can happen when HydraFacial MD Procedures in Papillion is overdone and when it is repeatedly used to the point where you can no longer move your muscles. For any muscle that you will not use, it will undergo atrophy and you might experience your lids drooping as there is no exact same level of muscle support around the area. A small movement is but okay.

5. No need to sleep sitting in an upright position

There is a wrong notion that the night after obtaining Botox you must sleep upright, that is not the case. You can always go about your normal day and evening routine as it is. There are those that even go to the gym right after! You will, however, experience mild headaches while it is working but nothing more.

6. It will take approximately 7-10 days to be able to see desired results

Yes, it works faster than topical emollients out there, but it does not give you results overnight. You will notice a softening and restricted movement for about 3-4 days, with the total effect becoming noticeable by 7-10 days.

7. It is not regarded as preventative

It is a real medicine, and people want to inject it in the right time, that is to prevent premature ageing. But, if you want to use it then do so before you experience deep lines or wrinkles because there are people who experience them early in life. To avoid this from happening, one can start getting Botox. Check with your dermatologist if your current condition would be perfect for Botox injection.

8. Your skin condition improves

The limited movement of the skin allows it a chance to rest and be able to regenerate itself. But, this does not mean you have to relax and stop with cleaning your face and stop your skin care routine altogether.

9. Botox does not work with everyone

 There are those that in fact develop antibodies, these in return destroys the Botox so it does not work at all. We have encountered some couple of patients in the past where it simply has not worked, so it is not unusual and it can happen. But as for allergic reactions, we have seen none.

10. It can, in fact, prevent sweating

Botox may be injected in the palms, small areas you sweat, and even on the armpits! It is a fallacy to say that due to the injection, you will sweat in other places as an outcome. The Botox blocks the many nerve endings to our sweat glands and so they end up not producing any sweat at all.
