While
BOTOX® injections have been commonly used to treat patients
with eye spasms and central nervous system disorders
for
many years, the cosmetic use of BOTOX® in the reduction
of facial wrinkles and lines is more recent.
What
is BOTOX® and
How Does It Work?
BOTOX®
is actually a natural, purified protein from the bacterium
Clostridium Botulinum and acts as a muscle-contraction
blocking agent. When used cosmetically, BOTOX® eliminates
frown lines between the eyebrows, wrinkles around the
eyes and horizontal lines on the forehead that are caused
by contracted muscles. BOTOX® blocks the chemical signal
from the nerve endings that produce the muscle contraction.
When
administered by a skilled physician, the final result
is natural and pleasing to the majority of patients
and the phenomenon of "frozen" facial appearance
is avoided. Although experts have observed that BOTOX®
injections are most effective in the upper third of
the face (eyes and forehead), other areas on the face
and neck can be treated as well.
The
BOTOX®
Injection Procedure
BOTOX®
comes from the manufacturer as a white powder sealed
in a vial. Dr. Schusterman will add saline solution
to the vial just before he treats you. It is important
that the BOTOX® be freshly reconstituted to be most effective.
The more concentrated the BOTOX® (the less saline added)
the stronger it will be and fewer injections will be
needed.
With
great care and precision, Dr. Schusterman will inject
the BOTOX® into the facial muscles that are causing
your lines and wrinkles. Dr. Schusterman prepares the
sites for injection by applying a topical anesthetic
and then cools the skin with an ice compress. He uses
a tiny microneedle, so that a small amount of
BOTOX®; is precisely injected into several locations
on the face. As the muscles weaken, the skin overlying
the muscles also relaxes causing the wrinkles to soften.
Pain is minimal and results can be immediate. Many patients
compare the sensation to a bug bite.
