Botox, An Option For Anti Aging

Botox is the brand name for Botulinum toxin, a protein that exploded onto the anti wrinkle treatments market in the early 1990s. However, the protein is rumored to have been used as early as the 1950s by US President, Ronald Regan. Since the 1990s Botox has become a standard treatment in many Day Spas in the US and internationally.

Botox blocks nerve impulses to allow contracted muscles in the immediate area to relax. It is usually administered in localized injections – most often to the face. The results of an injection typically manifest after 2 – 4 days and can last for as long as 6 months. The treatment also has the added bonus of causing the severity of the wrinkles to decrease.

Because Botox does not require surgery and illustrates results within a couple of days it is often seen as an excellent alternative to surgery. The procedure is quick and painless, so it's easy to get done at a local Day Spa. It also works well in conjunction with other rejuvenating procedures you may be having at the spa.

Botox is almost always associated with cosmetic surgery. The face is the place that shows aging the most and for this reason Botox is most often used on the face. It successfully removes forehead wrinkles and frown lines. Botox is a wonderful choice for a brow lift.

Getting your lines smoothed out can take as little as 15 minutes to get done in a Day Spa. The procedure isn't painful and there is no need for an anesthetic. Your skin care professional will probably advise you to avoid alcohol for a week after the injection.

Whilst Botox is most successfully used in wrinkle reduction, if you want to achieve fuller features you should choose a derma filler such as collagen injections. Derma fillers work by plumping up the skin that has become saggy and is causing wrinkles. This form of treatment is usually used for lip augmentations too.

Collagen is perhaps the most famous type of derma-filler, but it is by no means the only one. Different skins require different fillers, depending on age, skin-type, and sun damage. Going to a Day Spa to get this treatment performed will ensure that you get the best derma filler for you.

Most Day Spas offer a variety of anti aging treatments, including non-evasive surgery. If you don't like the idea of lip injections you can a lip plumper. These oils and gels usually include cinnamon oil but only provide temporary lip enhancement. It's best to explain your needs to your Day Spa attendant so that they can advise you from their experience and professional knowledge.

Whether you are looking for Botox, or another kind of anti aging treatment you'll be able to improve the success of your treatment and take years off your appearance by booking your treatment at a Day Spa in your local area.
