MORE ON WRINKLES AND BOTOX INJECTIONS WORKS ON FACIAL WRINKLES SIDE EFFECTS OF BOTOX YOUNG WOMEN AND MEN APPARENTLY WORRIED ABOUT WRINKLES
More about Botox wrinkle removal. Apparently men as well as women are concerned about wrinkles. The top cosmetic procedure performed in 2006 was Botox injection for both men and women with a total of 4.1 million procedures. Wrinkles seem to be an issue for younger people too as these reports about Botox attest.
A thirtyish woman journalist concerned about wrinkles wrote about her experience with Botox." I decided to try Botox, a toxin that temporarily paralyzes the facial muscles that cause wrinkles...It is typically used for wrinkles on your forehead, between your eyes or around the outer corners of your eyes. There is no downtime (after the Botox injection), and the reduction of wrinkles should begin in a few days and last from three to six months. The most common Botox injection side effects are temporary eyelid droop and nausea".
Botox (Botulinum Toxin Type A) a nerve blocker, is applied for wrinkles on the forehead and to reduce crow's feet wrinkles near the eyes. Many wrinkles are caused by repeated contraction of muscles in the face. Botox is used as as anti-aging treatment to block the nerve impulses for muscle contractions in the face. Botox is also being used to shut down sweat production in the skin.
How does Botox work? What is it? Botulinum Toxin Type A (Botox Cosmetic) is a chemical produced by a bacterium called Clostridium botulinum. Botulinum toxin is one of the most potent toxic substances in nature. When used in a medical setting as an injectable form of sterile, purified botulinum toxin, small doses block the release of a chemical called acetylcholine by nerve cells that signal muscle contraction.
Botox is injected into the muscles, reducing muscle contraction for a period of three to six months. The treatment is designed to break the habit of frowning or squinting and so reduce the appearance of the lines and also reduce the development of further facial lines. After Botox treatment it takes 2-3 days for the effects to start to be seen reaching its maximum effect at 7-10 days. The treatment can last from to 3-6 months, on average 4 months.

Possible Side Effects and Complications from Botox Injections:
Although there is no chance of contracting botulism from Botox injections, there are some risks associated with the procedure. There is a small risk of eyelid drooping (ptosis) and slight puffiness following treatment. The incidence of ptosis is about 5% but always ask your doctor what problems they have had with treatments as this will differ between doctors.
If too much toxin is injected, for example (which has happened in the past) it can cause problems or if it is injected into the wrong facial area. Rarely, according to the drug insert, people have had allergic reactions including anaphylaxis (life threatening allergic reaction). Aminoglycoside antibiotics and other chemicals that interfere with neuromuscular transmission can interact with Botox. Pregnant women and people with neuromuscular disorders are advised to avoid Botox.
