INTRODUCTION
Everyone today is working hard to keep themselves beautiful and youthful-looking. This has resulted in a rise in the market for cosmetic products and treatments. There have been certain surgeries as well in prevalence for cosmetic means and Botox among these is the most popular one. Its popularity and availability have been increasing with leaps and bounds. When it was introduced, Botox was really exclusive and only available to a certain class of people but now it has been a part and parcel of many people's cosmetic routines. Botox is equally popular in both men and women.
WHAT IS BOTOX?
Let's talk about Botox that what exactly is it and how it helps to prevent aging signs on the skin? Botox is a muscle relaxant that reduces wrinkles of the skin and helps in treating muscular conditions. These injections block the nerve impulses that are sent to a muscle to contract and hence preventing the muscle contraction. It is a protein made up of botulinum toxin which is produced by the bacteria named Clostridium botulinum. It is a sort of toxin which causes botulism and paralyzes muscles.
This toxin when used in small doses and correctly have many cosmetic properties. Botox injections are known to treat skin wrinkles, eyelid spasms, crossed eyes, bladder issues, and excessive sweating. Now the question arises how Botox works? It prevents the collagen breakdown which usually breaks during expression and speech and this breakdown of collagen leads to sagging of skin and hence skin wrinkles. In simple words, it works by freezing the muscle found in the face and therefore preventing loosening of skin.
Its popularity is due to the results which are fast however it is not permanent you have to go for the next sitting after three to four months. Also, Botox is not effective in the case of wrinkles caused by sun damage or after injury. Even after its huge popularity, people hesitate to opt for it because of the long term damage that it does to the body. The initial side effects that can be noticed just after having a Botox injection are drooping of eyelids and swelling, tiredness, fatigue, headache, pain in the neck, double vision, stomach troubles, flu-like complaints, numbness, malaise, unwanted weakness of surrounding muscles, dry eyes and allergic reactions like itching, rashes or respiratory troubles.
One should contact the cosmetic provider immediately who has given the injections. Also, the Botox injections can be really heavy on your pockets are the averages charges of these cosmetic injections are really high and non-affordable by many of us. It can charge you up to thousands of dollar per year which keep of increasing with your age.
In case a person receiving Botox injection develops antibodies against it then the further injections given prove to be ineffective. One more big reason not to go for Botox is that it doesn't make you look younger but puffy, artificial, and too fake smooth. Botox takes aging gracefully from you away as one day with or without it getting old is inevitable and not any injection or surgery can stop it but taking Botox arouse a sense of insecurity in you for your wrinkles and skin.
