hello tf people,
as i was asked by one of our tf members about botox injections, i would like to share my views with you. here's how it went.
to give you an idea on Botox, it is actually a brand name of a certain drug which is "botulinum toxin A". it is taken from a bacteria (Clostridium botulinum) that causes temporary paralysis of muscles that you inject it to. it was originally used for other diseases such as anal fissures, certain eye muscle diseases,etc. it was later tried on muscles that cause wrinkling of the skin, such as frown lines and forehead lines. eureka! thus came the era of botox for wrinkles.
there are two kinds of wrinkles; the passive and the active wrinkles. active wrinkles are those wrinkles that are seen when you make facial expressions such as lifting your eyebrows causing forehead lines, pati na rin ang pag "kunot ng noo". try it. :( ::mad:
passive wrinkles are those that you see even without doing your those facial expressions. pag hindi mo pa tinataas ang kilay mo o kinukunot ang noo mo may wrinkles na, passive wrinkles yan.
the point is, botox is used basically for active wrinkles, para di na ikaw magform ng wrinkles. sa passive wrinkles, dermal fillers ang ginagamit dyan, although pwede pa rin ang botox dyan to prevent deepening of wrinkles.
botox lasts for about 4-6 months pero the more often you do it, the longer is the effect. yung iba 1 year.
importante dyan ay yung nagi-inject cause may side effect yan, kung hindi marunong ang nagi-inject.
napahaba ata kwento ko ah. anyway, about the dermal fillers, i have an article about it sa website ko. visit ka na rin doon to learn more about it.
again, thank you miles and more power to you.
