Get
rid of Wrinkles, Get BOTOX!
Botox became an
instant hit when it was introduced in the cosmetic industry in the
early 2000s, referred by many as the wrinkle eraser. Aside from its
non-invasive approach, the procedure is fast, easy, and affordable,
plus there is no healing period involved.
Men and women can
benefit from botox, as the procedure corrects facial
wrinkles such as
frown lines, crow's feet and forehead wrinkles.
“Botox
causes temporary weakness when it is injected into the muscles of the
face. As the muscle weakens, the skin overlying the muscle, relaxes
which results to wrinkles gradually disappear. Most patients say that
they look ten years younger after the procedure,” explains
Dr. Alonzo.
Procedure is done
in the clinic and takes only 45 minutes or less to perform. The patient
can go back to work right after the treatment. Result is quick too, as
in a matter of minutes, you will notice that your wrinkles are gone and
your skin gradually becomes tighter, smoother and younger looking.
But Dr. Alonzo is
quick to add although proven effective, the result of botox
treatment
is just temporary. “Its effects last for 4 to 6 months. To
maintain its result, you have to go back for another treatment, so on
and so forth.”
Candidates for this procedure include those who are 30 years and above,
specifically those who have facial wrinkles. “That's why
Botox is called wrinkle eraser. Although there are
patients who are in
their mid 20s who already have moderate frown lines between the
eyebrows and side of the eyes that make them look tired and older than
their age. I normally conduct skin analysis during the consultation and
then I advise the patient if botox is right for him
or her. If it's not
necessary, I advise him or her to try other skin rejuvenation
treatments suited for them, which are also
non-invasive.”
