subject: Botox Treatment [print this page] Most practitioners prefer to use Botox for wrinkles caused by hyperactive muscles such as crow's feet, the vertical lines between the eyebrows, and the horizontal lines on the forehead. Botox can be used under the eyes by very experienced practitioners. Some practitioners have tried other areas, but generally with marginal success.
There are rare but documented cases of Botox resistance. However, the most likely explanation is either under-correction (so a patient does not note the improvement), improper expectations (the look that shows no emotion is not ideal), or improper storage or handling of botox.
If the Botox was stored properly, freshly opened and mixed properly, you may need additional units to obtain optimal results. You just need to ensure that you are not receiving too many units in order to avoid possible side effects.
If a photo was taken prior to treatment, you may want to see if any improvement occurred. If you did receive some improvement, you may need to repeat the treatment after a few months. The muscle is generally easier to treat after a couple of treatments. Prior to having a treatment, it is important that a patient discuss her or his expectations and any prior experience that he or she has had.
The most popular Botulinum Toxins alternative to Botox is Dysport. Botolulinum Toxins work by stopping nerve transmission signals to the muscles, which produce frowning, and wrinkles. Dysport is considered a lower cost alternative but it is harder to apply, and many practitioners prefer Botox for a more natural and complete treatment. For longer lasting alternatives, eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) and brow lift (forehead) surgery accomplish a similar goal as Botox as these procedures interrupt the nerve transmission.
