Botox Beverly Hills
Originally developed to aid in a nerve-muscle disorder affecting the cervical-neck and shoulder area causing pinched nerves and over active muscle spasming and off balance tilted head positioning, botox was accidentally injected into areas showing deep lines and creases of skin. Remarkably, the deep lines and creases began to dissipate due to the effect of botox on relaxing the underlying muscles, thus removing the tension which had caused the outer skin to be held taut in unnatural and unforgiving poses resembling a permanent scowl or frown or look of tension, even where the person felt normal and OK.
In effect, botox relaxes the muscle, blocking neuro-chemical transmission past the site. The result? Muscles such as around the forehead brow area or cheekbone and mouth areas suddenly relax, resulting in a dramatic smoothening of the surface skin, with folds and creases and furrows reducing substantially after initial treatment. Naturally, due to body metabolic processes, the effect of botox injection can not be held permanently, therefore a treatment plan of successive injections every few months is required in order to sustain the results and appearance that men and women seek. Appearance, sense of self and vitality, professional appearance can all be transformed beneficially through the selective use of botox, which has proven to be a safe and effective.
Natural factor give rise to the skin conditions treatable by botox such as family genetics where certain wrinkle forming tendencies are expressed, sun and wind damaged skin reflecting lifestyle choices, poor diet and nutritional standards resulting in unhealthy skin and body, use of tobacco products and ingesting foreign chemicals, plus absorption of to environmental or industrial toxins. Adding to the skin’s appearance decline are the forces of time and aging, where skin naturally loses its youthful elasticity, where pigmentation abnormalities begin to spread and brown spots and large freckle masses occur, where naturally occurring fatty deposits which previously created a full fresh and youthful countenance diminish to leave bags under the eyes and volume deficits which worsen our looks, and where underlying facial expression muscles lose tone and resiliency thus impact the outer skin surface area and the natural sort of balanced tension that occurs in youth, but declines as we age, contributing to the adage that “youth is lost on the youth”.
