You have probably heard a lot about Botox, how it works, and how it can help your skin look smoother and younger than ever before. Some might even say that a botox treatment is as good as a miracle cure. The great thing about botox is that it is safe, non-invasive, and helps you temporarily remove those facial wrinkles that makes you look older. In 2005 it had been recorded that approximately 3.3 million people around the world had made use of botox cosmetic reasons. Today, Botox® is available in South Africa, and as one of South Africa’s leading aesthetic clinics, The Melrose Aesthetic Centre is pleased to announce that we have had the privilege of helping both men and women improve or maintain their appearance.
In 2008 The Times newspaper in Capt Town reported on one of South Africa’s leading politicians and world mayor of the year, Helen Zille, who turned to Botox® to help her get rid of frown lines, only to turn the page to a new chapter of a fresh-faced appearance. Zille, who once thought it to be superficial, stated that “the results seemed worth it”. Today many people make use of botox treatment to help them regain their confidence in their physical appearance. What’s even better is that is probably one of the most affordable treatments available, starting from as low as R400 per treatment, with the quickest results. It has little to no side-effects and everybody can make use of this. So if you are constantly looking tired, or people often ask you why you are angry, when all it is is frown lines, then why make yourself suffer so when all it will take is 15 minutes of your time to look and feel young again?
Botox Injections For Wrinkles And For Convenience
When contemplating facial cosmetic surgery, Botox injections for wrinkles could offer a highly effective alternative that has several distinct advantages. Although not confined to treatment of facial areas, it is probably best known for its effect on so-called laughter or expression lines that may be inclined to make one look overly severe.
Also, an over-abundance of these expression lines can create the unfortunate impression that those who may be more prone to them are, in fact, somewhat older than their birth certificates would suggest.
How Does it Work?
Botox injections for wrinkles are based on an understanding of the mechanism that causes them. Repeated smiling and other pronounced facial expressions can, over time, give rise to sustained muscle contractions that lead to the formation of those folds in the skin that we refer to as frown lines or crow’s feet.
The treatments use injections of a powerful muscle-relaxant to target those tensed muscles that are causing the wrinkles, relaxing them and restoring the former smooth appearance to the attached skin surface.
Low Pain and Instant Gain
Beyond a mild discomfort, Botox injections for wrinkles are applied in an essentially painless procedure, and in sharp contrast to the surgical approach, the results can be seen and enjoyed shortly after the procedure has been completed. Compare that with the weeks taken for bruising and scarring to subside before the final results can be judged.
In addition, any risk that could arise from the use of anaesthesia during conventional surgery is eliminated. In fact, many of those that choose to undergo the simpler and quicker route of having Botox injections for wrinkles do so in order to delay the need for a more invasive procedure until it becomes absolutely unavoidable.
Affordable and Repeatable
The procedure is quick, taking less time than an average manicure, and the materials used are inexpensive, making it affordable to most. Like surgery, its effects are not permanent and repeat treatments will be necessary to maintain wrinkle-free skin.
Often the extremely high cost and attendant discomfort alone makes patients reluctant to repeat lengthy cosmetic surgical procedures. The effects of Botox injections for wrinkles will normally last for around 3 to 4 months before the expression lines start to gradually return. However, the greater convenience, lack of pain and instant satisfaction typical of these treatments, combined with their affordability, makes repeat sessions highly practical and thus the benefits may be enjoyed on an ongoing basis.
No one wants to look older than their years. It can sap confidence and create false premises by which others may be inclined to judge us.
Safe, quick and affordable Botox injections for wrinkles can change all that.
