Have you been curious about trying Botox? Are you interested in knowing if you would benefit from using Botox? Essential Aesthetics of Danville, CA would like to give you some information about Botox as well as a few guidelines that determine if Botox is right for you. Botox is a prescribed injection that will temporarily decrease the look and severity of frown lines. Once injected, Botox works by blocking the nerve impulses that cause frown lines. It is approved for people between the ages of 18 to 65 to improve the look of moderate to severe frown lines. Before beginning any Botox treatment, make sure you discuss your medical history and current medications you are taking with your doctor at Essential Aesthetics. Some conditions that may keep you from starting a Botox treatment are:
- If you suffer from a disease that affects nerves and muscles (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, myasthenia gravis and Lambert-Eaton syndrome.)
- Are allergic to or have had side effects from any botulinum toxin products
- Suffer from a breathing problem like asthma or emphysema
- Suffer from swallowing or bleeding problems
- Have had, or have plans to have surgery
- Pregnancy or plans to become pregnant
- Breast feeding or plans to breast feed
- Have had abnormal facial changes (weakness of forehead muscles, trouble raising eyebrows, drooping eyelids, etc.)
Remember that only your doctor can assess you and let you know if you qualify as a candidate for Botox treatment. Make sure to talk to your doctor and ask all the questions you may have about the treatment. It is your treatment so make sure to communicate with your doctor to achieve the best results.
