Addicted to Botox


Posted by Boxtox
Jay Nichols has spent £3,000 on Botox for the past two years. The 32-year-old model and dancer from Battle, East Sussex, England, gets the shots every three months to maintain her looks.

“I hated my wrinkles and didn’t want to look old before my time. I’d already had a **** job and went for regular saline injections to plump up my lips at £500 each, so having Botox wasn’t such a big deal,” she told the Daily Mail.

Lisa Jeynes, 37, a TV presenter and former Big Brother contestant, has been very critical of the lines and wrinkles on her face. So she reinvented herself with a little help from Botox. She spends £1,000 a year for the procedure.

“Once you start having Botox, it’s very hard to stop as you get used to the way your face looks. I am terrified that if I stop now, all my frown lines and wrinkles will return,” she said.

Victoria Leighton-Clark, 45, of Haughton, Cheshire, began her Botox treatments after her husband died of a heart attack. The operations director has three injections a year at £190 a session.

“I didn’t want a facelift or invasive surgery – this is a much more subtle way of enhancing the way you look,” the Daily Mail quoted her.

Nichols, Jeynes, and Clark are but a few of the faces in the growing list of people who are addicted to Botox. For these people, beauty has become an obsession that is pursued regardless of the cost. For them, cosmetic procedures like Botox have become a quick fix to their daily problems and unreasonable insecurities.

“People can become addicted to the anticipation, the excitement and the attention they receive. There is a short-lived result of feeling fabulous, but after the post-procedure high, life goes back to normal and all the mundane problems return, so you need to go for another fix,” explained Dr. Eileen Bradbury, a consultant psychologist at the Alexandra Hospital in Cheadle near Manchester.

Adam Searle, president of the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons, said four in 10 people who use Botox are compelled to do so repeatedly. He believes that many patents are suffering from imagined ugly body syndrome (also known as body dismorphic disorder), where they become obsessed at improving their appearance even though nothing is wrong with them.

Searle’s suspicions were confirmed in a recent survey of 10,000 British women aged 25 to 60 made by the makers of Botox. The survey revealed that 60 percent of the respondents were willing to have injections owing to the pressure to look beautiful. Moreover, only four percent of the women felt they were attractive.

If looks are important to you but you don’t want to be a Botox junkie, get all the help you need from the Rejuvinol AM/PM Botox Alternative Age-Defying System. This powerful anti-aging formula has two components: the Rejuvinol morning moisturizer that nourishes and tones the skin; and the Rejuvox night cream that reduces fine lines and wrinkles.

Botox®


Posted by Boxtox
Strength of toxicity depends on size of the dose. The botulinum toxin is the most poisonous protein in the world if given in a large enough dose, and can paralyze muscles throughout the body. But when Botox is injected in a cosmetic treatment, the dose is so miniscule that it affects only the specific muscle it was injected into. That tiny “toxicity” is the beauty of a Botox injection, and the reason it works.

How Botox Works

Botox injections temporarily paralyze the muscle. It prevents the nerve impulse from connecting to the muscle, so in effect, it makes the muscle deaf, unable to respond to neural messages.

If you have frown lines, it’s because over the years, for whatever reason, the muscles in the forehead have been contracting, and have formed those vertical wrinkles. They tend to make the face look cross or upset when you don’t feel that way. You might have been frowning all those years simply because some lighting was too bright, but the resulting lines cause people to form an inaccurate impression of your feelings.

By paralyzing the muscle, Botox prevents it from contracting. So for the four to six months that the injection is effective, you do no frowning. This tends to smooth out your forehead lines. When you have repeat Botox injections, the muscle starts to unlearn its habit of contracting. So you would end up frowning less often even if you stopped having injections.

Any side effects?

There have been over 200 studies done and over a million people have had Botox injections, but systemic allergic reactions have been extremely rare. You might have some bruising or tenderness at the injection site. This is not because of the Botox itself, but because of the injection. A very fine needle is used, but it can still leave you with bruising for a few days, depending on how easily you tend to bruise. Some people experience some temporary nausea, headache or neck pain, but again, this is very rare.

Botox was originally used to treat crossed eyes and uncontrollable blinking. There are ongoing studies to determine its usefulness in treating other medical conditions that involve muscle spasms.

Its cosmetic effect was discovered accidentally and in 2002 the FDA approved its cosmetic use. It is now the most popular cosmetic procedure in the U.S. and used widely for people aged between 18 and 65.
