A new year can be as much a new beginning as it can a reminder of the years that have passed: In one annual celebration, ageing and rejuvenation align. If you’d rather spend 2014 focusing on refreshment and rebirth than ruminating on your own mortality, then perhaps a little external tinkering might clear your head of those superficial signs of ageing. At Liverpool Dental Spa we now offer Botox treatment and will be happy to help in this regard!
So, what exactly is Botox?
I’m glad you asked: despite Botox being one of the most famous cosmetic treatments available, most people don’t actually know anything about it beyond its distorted portrayals in contemporary sitcoms. Technically, Botox is a safe to use toxin which, if administered to a desired area in tiny amounts, can relax muscles. Botox can be used to treat a variety of issues, including chattering teeth and problems stemming from motor neuron disease, but, in a cosmetic context, it tends to treat facial wrinkles.
So how does Botox help your face’s appearance?
Wrinkles are caused by muscle movement. If you minimise muscle movement you less wrinkles and, as discussed before, Botox reduces muscle movement.
Will it be painful?
Some small discomfort is possible during treatment, but the needle used is very small and the amount of ache it causes should be negligible.
What does treatment entail?
Well, what it does entail is done quickly: A typical Botox administration takes roughly 10 minutes. Essentially, Botox is just injected in to a place where you desire its effects. Once administered, the effects should be noticeable after a few days and continual improvements should then continue to appear for about a month after that. The effects will sustain themselves for roughly 4 months, after that you will require a Botox top-up if you want to maintain your new look.
Will my face be paralyzed by it?
That is a myth, plain and simple: Botox minimises, it does not freeze, muscle movement. You know that extreme look of relief on your face? You’ll still be able to do that after Botox. The worst you’ll get is a little stiffness for a few days after treatment has been completed.
