Throughout earth’s history, it has always been a given that people always want to look better. Even the early humans looked for ways to improve their appearances. It is but practical to say that we all would want to look younger, more vibrant, and wrinkle-free. A lot of creams, cosmetic products, and surgeries are out in the market to help us with that. One of the most popular medical advances that will more conveniently help us attain out younger-looking, feeling more confident goal is the Botulinum Toxin or what is commonly known as Botox. This innovation technically softens wrinkle lines caused by muscular actions usually found between the eyebrows, in the forehead, and the laugh lines. Many people worry about these facial creases because over the counter creams don’t seem to yield the result they are actually looking for in the span of time they want it. But now that Botox is here, we can all say goodbye to what used to be the only solution to this common dilemma — extensive surgery.

Botox is derived from Clostridium Botulinum, a bacterium that can cause health hazards when eaten. But since it is used as an injectable created in a laboratory and not ingested, it is very safe. Botox tends to “freeze” muscles or relax tight muscles that cause the wrinkles. This leads to minimization, if not total removal, of superficial wrinkles when injected in the affected area. Because the muscles seem to have frozen, the movement is minimal, thus, eliminating the existence of creases.

This procedure only takes 10-15 minutes, which is very convenient even for the busiest people. All the patient has to do is sit down comfortably and force a smile so as to help the doctor identify which area to inject the Botox in. As simple as that, the unwanted creases in your face are practically removed.

This non-surgical treatment has proven to be effective and because of this, it rapidly became widely accepted worldwide. The effect of Botox has convinced a lot of people to try it out.

What Botox Does

The male brow is typically flatter than a woman’s, which has a natural middle arch. Knowing good brows is the key to knowing good Botox. Trends also change but facial beauty remains the same over the centuries. Another interesting study showed men to accept the same parameters of what is considered to be female facial beauty whether it is in a niteclub in downtown Santa Barbara or a village in China.

From a doctors point of view it is always better to begin the procedure in the middle of the upper face. It’s a bit like a teacher in front of a class, weighing things up, thinking ahead, waiting to place your next question, or in this case needle. A doctor should always ask the leading question “what way do you want your brows to look next week?” From a patients point of view consider the doctor is like a man with a tranquilliser gun looking at a tug-of-war team. If he shoots some of the players in Team A, then Team B will fall over the line without even trying. It is exactly the same with Botox® or Dysport®. Your brows will end up in a final position dependent on the doctor with the needle. Now there are a few variations on that theme. If you are short sighted and squinting for years then you will have beefed up the muscles that pull the eye down. Let’s call them the “Orbies” because you better get to know the muscles if you want to get ahead in this game. They are actually called the Orbicularis oculi but leave that to the young student doctors trying to impress their anatomy teachers. The orbies pull down and cause wrinkles, crows feet to be exact. They are like Team A pulling away at the brow to bring it down and make you look tired. Now, I hear you think..if I do look tired and want to look more awake could the doctor tranquillise these and waken me up.

You see, you are getting the hang of it already. If the doctor is heavy handed on the orbies or else does not inject the muscle above it, them the eyebrow will rise. Let’s get to know the muscles above the brow. These muscles are called the “Fronties” or frontalis and they are responsible for the expression of surprise whenever we open up our eyes in amazement. Of course, you see the problem whenever Hollywood actresses lose this movement: no expression, blank stare etc etc. They are also responsible for causing the ‘Vulcan’ look whenever the outer edge of the brows goes up in true Star Trek fashion. But don’t panic, this is easily corrected by giving a little more tranquilliser to the outer fronties.

The outer side!!. Just when you were getting the hang of it, there I go and spoil things. Well yes, the brow has an inner and an outer side and we actually have control of both .Thankfully the new fresh wide open eye can easily be achieved by giving Botox to the outer orbie and a little to the inner orbie. Beware, you cannot put Botox® or Dysport® underneath the eye or the bottom eyelid will droop. These lines are better left to the bigger doctors with expensive laser toys to sort out. By the way, the inner brow muscles have two main players: the “Super Sillies” and the “Corries” . No, not from Beth Lynch at Coronation Street but from the medical student word corrugators.

The “Super sillies” and the “Corries” are very important muscles and hold the key to a good aesthetic effect. The “Super sillies” are named after the Depressor supercilii but enough of that medical student jargon for now. Just, let it be known they are on Team B and the pull your brow downwards. The other group the “Corries” are much more interesting as they lie at a forty five degree angle and the outer bit is really difficult to know where it is and the doctor without a special piece of electronic equipment has to find its location. Now, remember, no self respecting Botox doctor worth his business salt in this day and age is going to starting wiring up his Botox patients (but they once did!) to find the corries so the eventual position of your brows (or your eyelid) is dependent on his skill at figuring out where the end of the muscle are. You see, just when you thought this was getting easy.

This frown area has in fact six injection points, the corries, the super sillys and the prossies. The prossies are called after the procerus muscle group and this is why it takes the doctor a bit longer to do your frown area when he can quickly speed through the muscles on your forehead. Oh, and the reason it’s sore is that two little nerves run right through the area he is targeting.

The doctor should now move into your forehead to look at Team B. in general this is much easier as the whole muscle involved: the frontie, is large and flat and covers all of your forehead. It spends its life holding up your eyebrows and making you look surprised when your wife tells you how she spent the credit card. Your doctor should know never to treat it on its own as everything will fall. This look is known as the FRED: forehead right eyebrows down.

In general the fronties are easy to treat as long as the doctor stays at least 3 to 4 cm above the brow and goes all the way up to your hairline. If there are lines close to your brow this is a bit like sailing a hip too close to a rocky shoreline and it is advisable to leave them alone rather than chance sinking the ship. If the doctor needs to go a little closer to shore, he can compensate by keeping his ship in safe waters by giving a little more Botox® or Dysport® to the prossies, which are located at the top of your nose in the centre of your forehead.

When treating the crow’s feet area, you have to be careful of puffiness underneath your eyes. These orbies hold in your fat pads as well as letting you wink at strangers. If your doctor is heavy handed in this region you may find out quickly that you have acquired a new look, the PENAL: puffy eyes, no adjacent lines. It would be no use winking if the stranger sees those tired looking eyes.

Now, a few golden rules for doctors

Men generally need more Botox® or Dysport® than women

Women with strong muscles may require more Botox® or Dysport® than men

Women with arched brows need a little extra corrie Botox® or Dysport® to avoid flattening the brow.

Men need a little more Botox® or Dysport® in the super sillies and corries than women but they same in the prossies.

Never treat the fronties on their own as this is akin to shooting all of Team A and everything including your brows will fall down

How to administer Botox

Botox is a brand name for Botulinum toxin-A, a neurotoxic protein produced by the bacteria Clostridium Botulinum. Despite being one of the most lethal substances known to science (one teaspoon can kill 1.2 billion people) it has become number one non-surgical cosmetic treatment in Britain and US because of the ability to temporarily erase wrinkles and restore youthful looks.

It is extremely sad to believe that some mothers would buy Botox as a birthday present to their 18 years old daughters believing that this could boost their self-esteem and could help them to deal with self-image issues.

An English mother said that her 18 years old daughter’s forehead is like hers and she believes that Botox is the answer to this problem.

This one example should be a wake-up call for every parent. Most importantly, do we as a society want to send a message to other young and beautiful girls that taking Botox at 18th is cool?

Cosmetic surgeons do not recommend the use of Botox injection under the age of 30. The skin of a young person is not wrinkled enough to be injected with Botox so it could lead to a loss of facial expression.

A mother, age 49, who has already spent around £45,000 on cosmetic surgery including tummy tuck, nose job, facelift, two breast enlargement and years of taking Botox is happy that her  daughter is inheriting her habit.

The young girl admitted that her mother has always looked so glamorous because she uses cosmetic surgery and Botox to keep her looking young so she plans to follow in her mother’s footsteps.

The Botox treatment is sky-rocking, even though the Canadian government and the FDA are warning that Botox could cause muscle weakness, swallowing difficulties, pneumonia, speech disorders and respiratory failure due to its ability to spread to areas distant to the site of the injection.

So, how far would we go to restore our youthful look? Should we happily go to a cosmetic surgeon for the poisonous injection to our face to look like a porcelain doll? Or should we leave the nature to take its own course and age gracefully with a natural smile on our faces?

Should we close our eyes to cases where mothers are injecting their young daughters’ mind with the idea of a need for cosmetic surgery and Botox?
Or should we start to educate the young generation of the physical and mental health complications of the surgical and non-surgical cosmetic treatments?

Botox Toxic Injection in Fashion to Young Girls

Cosmetic doctors are specially trained to evaluate a patient’s facial expressions and precisely determine where to inject Botox to relax wrinkles. Done properly, this treatment can relax the wrinkles while still allowing the patient to make facial expressions.

People who are considering having Botox procedures should make sure to choose a doctor who has plenty of experience with it, preferably a cosmetic surgeon who specializes in minimally invasive procedures.

When done improperly, Botox can result in the face taking on a waxen “frozen” look, and can lead to what is colloquially called “batwing” eyebrows that make the person look surprised all the time. Improperly placed or measured Botox can cause eyelids to droop, and the effects will take several months to wear off.

Clients who have treatment with Botox have to follow special instructions for the four to eight hours after the procedure. They are advised not to lean forward or look at the floor, not to lie down, and not to do any kind of aerobic exercises or other fast moving activities.

Once those few hours are over, there are no special procedures to follow. The effects of Botox usually last for three to four months, gradually wearing off during that time period.

One happy side effect of repeated Botox treatment is that while the wrinkles won’t permanently relax, they will relax enough that less Botox is needed for subsequent treatments, or that the intervals between treatments can increase.

Botox has revolutionized cosmetic procedures, allowing patients to experience facial rejuvenation without significant downtime.
