Laser Hair Removal Sydney

Botox treatment is becoming a popular remedy for wrinkles. More and more folks are discovering (and becoming somewhat addicted to) Botox injections to get rid of wrinkles between the eyebrows and at the corners of the eye (crow's feet). Botox treatments are often considered safer than more radical types of wrinkle treatments, such as a facelift, although the effects of Botox do not last as long. The Cosmetic Matching Service can help you locate up to three clinics in your area that offer Botox treatment and that have been reviewed by people just like you for their professionalism and services rendered.

How Does Botox Treatment Work?

Botox serum is made from the same toxin that causes botulism or food poisoning. This toxin causes the effective area to become paralyzed. Is this dangerous? Not in the case of Botox, as the toxin is diluted and the paralytic or relaxing effect wears off after a period of time. It is only strong enough to relax the muscles that are causing the frown lines, creases, or crow's feet. The full effect of Botox treatment is felt within five to seven days and wears off or diminishes within three to four months, although in some individuals, the results can last for six months.

How Much Does Botox Treatment Cost?

Botox treatment costs can vary by clinic, doctor, and region. Some clinics charge a fee for each area that you have treated. Other clinics figure their fees based on the number of units of Botox serum that is used during your treatment. On average, you can expect to pay anywhere from $300 to $1000 for Botox treatment, depending on where you get the treatment and the severity of the wrinkles being treated.

How Safe is Botox?

Botox was approved nearly a decade ago by the Australian drug regulatory agency (The Therapeutic Goods Administration) for safe use in treating wrinkles. There are some side effects that you should be aware of when undergoing Botox treatment. One of the most common side effects is bruising at the injection site. This effect can be reduced by avoiding rubbing the injection area for several hours after the injection. Some people complain of a headache following Botox treatment. Typically, acetaminophen or other pain reliever is all that is needed to counter this side effect.
