Considering Botox Treatment San Jose? Here Are a Few Things to Know

July 31, 2018

If you are considering botox treatment San Jose specialists recommend that you do a little bit of research first. There are thousands of articles online about Botox, and many of those spread information that is simply incorrect. It is vital, therefore, that you think critically about what you are reading so that you can make an informed decision about whether or not to have the treatment.

Botox Treatment San Jose Facts

Botox is an FDA approved prescription medication that is able to smooth facial wrinkles and frown lines in both men and women.It is believed that there are currently some 19 million people who have not had botox but would have it if they were able to afford it. Many of those are men. One of the reasons why it is so popular is because it is virtually non-invasive, which means it also does not require recovery time. The industry itself is worth in excess of $25 million per year.

Botox is a medical treatments that was originally developed for acute underarm sweating, controlling muscle spasms, and migraines. It was quickly found, however, that it also needs to minor facial improvements and it quickly became more popular for that. In most cases, people use Botox on their glabellar Lines, which are forehead lines that make people look angry or tired. However, botox is also used off label quite regularly.

Are You a Candidate for Botox?

Botox is not suitable for everybody and it is important that you consider whether or not you are even a candidate. Generally speaking, you must:

Be at least 18 years old.

Not have a known allergy to any of the ingredients used in botox.

Not suffer from any disease or illness that impacts the muscles or the nerves.

Not currently have any moons or infections in the area of the skin where you wish to have botox applied.

Not have any difficulties with swallowing.

Not suffer from any breathing difficulties, which includes asthma.

Not have any medical condition that is associated with thinning blood.

In many cases, positions will not agree to apply botox to those who are currently waiting to have major cosmetic surgery or who have recently gone under the knife. Additionally, good positions will not agree to administer botox on pregnant or nursing mothers. While there is currently no evidence that the product could be harmful to a foetus or nursing baby, there is no evidence to say it is safe either. You can be active and healthy, but if you’re undergoing surgery soon, you probably can’t have botox. 

Finally, it is important to have realistic expectations of the treatment. Botox is not a permanent fountain of youth, but rather a temporary fixture for aging skin. If you wish to maintain that look, you will have to have repeat procedures. Usually, the effects last for between 4 and 6 months, with the effects lasting longer the more often you have the treatment. The injections themselves are relatively painless and it usually takes only about 20 minutes for the full treatment to be completed. Results should be visible after about three days with full effects noticeable after about two weeks.
