There are many skin enhancement treatments available easily in the market these days. Due to the increasing level of pollution and stressful working schedules our skin develops signs of ageing, the most common being wrinkles.

Due to the ageing process of the body, our skin produces lower levels of Hyaluronic acid. This acid is responsible for keeping our skin rejuvenated, plump and youthful. With diminished levels of this acid, our skin starts sagging, wrinkles appear and our skin looks dull. However, to take care of all your wrinkles problems there is an effective cosmetic treatment: Anti-Wrinkle Injection treatment or also known as 'Botox' treatment.

About Anti-Wrinkle Injection Treatment:

In this treatment an injection containing active ingredients is injected into the wrinkled areas, like area around the mouth or area between the eyebrows. These active agents help in relaxing the muscles in that area, which causes wrinkles. This treatment helps in improving your overall appearance and gives you a youthful look.

Procedure:

Botox injections are generally given at two areas: around the eyes and between the brows. However, consulting a dermatologist before the procedure is highly advisable, as he/she can advice you better and give you better options too.

Small amounts of the active ingredient are injected into the desired areas. This material relaxes the muscles and reduces the wrinkles to a considerable extent. The amount of the ingredient to be injected depends on various factors: your skin type, sensitivity of the skin, areas where it is injected and the results desired.

The procedure is least painful, as compared to other skin enhancement treatments, and just takes 15 to 20 minutes. The results starts showing in 4-5 days post the treatment and the results can last up to 4-6 months.

Advantages:

• The biggest advantage of this treatment is that it is a non-surgical method to attain youthful skin, without getting any scars. It is different from other plastic and surgical treatments. It is much effective in reducing wrinkles; it is less expensive and faster than other treatments.
• The active ingredient, when injected, paralyses the muscles responsible for wrinkles and sagging of the skin. The ingredient used is generally safe, but its effects are temporary.
• This Anti-wrinkle injection therapy is used for various purposes and for various desired results: to reduce wrinkles, to enhance your bust lines and cleavage and to block over active sweat glands to lower the sweat secretions.

Disadvantages:

• The general side effects observed in patients post-treatment are problems related to swallowing, speaking and breathing. This happens because the facial muscles become weak due to the active ingredient injected. This problem usually persists only for few hours or in some cases for few days.
• In few cases, the toxin used, called Botulism Toxin, spreads to other areas of the body. This can cause a symptom called Botulism in some cases. This can cause: Dropping eyes, blurred vision, diminished control over the bladder, etc. It is always recommended to let your dermatologist know of any such problems with your body well in advance
