Nowadays, an increasing number of people are resorting to the services of cosmetologists and plastic surgeons. Most of all, of course, they are among actors and pop stars. This is because these people are always in sight and they want to keep their attractiveness longer. And even simple "mortals" resort to the use of Botox as the most affordable method of rejuvenation. What is Botox and how is it used in the empire of beauty?
In fact, Botox, or dysport, has been known for a very long time. Initially, it was recognized as a substance that can cause butulism. Doesn't sound very tempting, right? But, nevertheless, the thing is very useful and successfully used in medicine. In the 80s, it began to be used in world cosmetology, and at the end of the last century - in Russia. It is not very popular with us yet, but ask, for example, in the USA the question: “What is Botox?” - and even a child will answer you.
How does this magic tool work in the experienced hands of cosmetologists? The fact is that Botox, introduced into the muscle, blocks it, the skin associated with the muscle and located directly above it, restores elasticity and is smoothed. In addition, a person begins to control his facial expression, so there is a kind of double action. The Botox administration procedure takes 5 minutes on the strength and is almost painless. In rare cases, with an overestimated pain threshold, a local anesthetic cream is used.
Many of our beauties have long found the answer to the question "What is Botox?" and continue to successfully maintain their beauty. With Botox, wrinkles on the forehead, between the eyebrows, on the nose, on the back of the nose, as well as “crow's feet” are eliminated. In addition, Botox is indicated for use in a large age period - from 18 to 60 years. Beauticians believe that it is most preferable to do Botox injections at a fairly young age, starting at 30. At this time, skin elasticity decreases and facial wrinkles begin to appear.
Despite the fact that the procedure is quick, its consequences do not appear immediately. Usually, it may take from 3 days to two weeks until the effect of the drug appears. The effect lasts up to six months, although if a person constantly resortes to such services, its duration can be extended even up to one year. At the same time, the habit of excessive facial expressions, which leads to the creation of wrinkles, also disappears.
For those who decide to experience for themselves what Botox is, it is also necessary to remember that after the procedure you will have to infringe on yourself in something. After Botox, you can’t drink alcohol, go to the bathhouse and sauna, take antibiotics, do not touch the places on the face where the injections were made, you need to bend less. It should be noted that Botox is also successfully used by people with increased sweating. Introduced into the armpits or palms, it relieves a person of this problem for a period of up to one year.
In fairness, the drug has its drawbacks, and Botox victims, alas, exist. Inexperienced hands can turn a patient's face into a frozen mask and more than once one has seen the consequences of unsuccessful procedures on the faces of screen stars. Sometimes it looks, it must be said, creepy. But an experienced specialist is able to do miracles and many women, and men retain their youth and beauty in this way.
There is also sad statistics confirming the relationship between children and Botox. More than once, the press has already identified cases where mothers of girls participating in beauty contests took them to Botox procedures in order to remove even the smallest wrinkles from their faces. Parents claimed that they were doing this so that their children retained their youth longer. In America, laws are already being considered prohibiting the conduct of Botox procedures for persons under the appropriate age.
