subject: Botox Treatment Process In Perth Clinics [print this page] The use of Botox for the treatment of facial wrinkles is becoming an increasingly popular phenomenon. Nearly every face in Hollywood above the age of 40 has had some kind of romance with this substance. But what exactly is Botox?
Botox is a commercial preparation derived from the Toxin type A of the bacterium known as Clostridium botulinum. A Botox injection exerts a localised effect on the muscle it is injected into, and by blocking the transmission of nerve impulses to the muscle, it relaxes them. This is a beneficial effect for a person who wants to get rid of those lines and facial furrows that are associated with aging.
While this may sound appealing (who wants to look old?), it has to be recognised that Botox treatments are not for everyone. Breastfeeding mothers, pregnant women and those with neurological disease such as myasthenia gravis are not to receive Botox treatments. Those who have infections in the muscles targeted for Botox treatments also do not qualify.
Once a suitable candidate for Botox treatment is determined, an appointment is made and the injection treatment carried out. Injections are not usually painful. Only a mild discomfort is felt. Botox effects start to show after 24 hours and generally last six months before the effects wear off. Re-injection can be performed with repeated treatments making the smoothing appearance last longer. At Absolute Cosmetic Medicine centre, the cosmetic surgery team provide Botox injections as part of their wrinkle treatment procedures. Botox injection treatments can be applied to the following:
1) Forehead Lines : Targeted at the Frontalis Muscle.
2) Glabella/Frown Lines: Targeted at the Corrugator supercili and Procerus muscles.
3) Crow's Feet (Lateral Orbital Lines): Targeted at the Orbicularis Oculi and Procerus muscles.
4) Bunny Lines (Transverse nasal)
5) Peri-oral Lines (Smoker's Lines): Targeted at the Orbicularis Oris Muscle.
6) Marionette Lines: Targeted at the Depresssor Anguli Oris and/or Trangularis Muscles.
