Botox Warnings and Precautions: Final Thoughts

Botox is used for fine to deep wrinkles around the eyes, also known as Crows Feet. Botox blocks signals from the nerves to the muscles. The injected muscle cans no longer contract, which causes the wrinkles to relax and soften. A lot of people use Botox to smooth over wrinkles that are in the forehead and in between the nose. Usually, the procedure takes 10 to 15 minutes, and can last anywhere from 3 to 6 months-depending on each person.

Like many other cosmetic procedures, Botox comes with risks. You need to be careful in choosing Botox therapists to lessen the risks. You also need to know more about the Botox precautions so you can avoid problems in the therapy. Learn about these factors by reading the items found below

Before subjecting yourself to a Botox procedure, know about some precautions first. You need to inform your doctors about some things to make the procedure safe for you. Be sure to know about these conditions and report them to your doctor before having the procedure. Detrimental changes may result from Botox therapy if you presently have these conditions.

The medication used in Botox injections may cause allergic reactions. If you notice unexplained rashes, redness on the skin, difficulty swallowing, itchiness, or some other manifestations, it is important to report to your doctors immediately.

Swallowing problems may interfere with Botox. Because the toxin causes paralysis of the muscles, you might experience further difficulties if a Botox toxin is absorbed by your body.
Telling your health care provider of heart problems is also very essential before the therapy.
Botox contains certain amounts of albumin. This element may cause infections or viruses which can be transmitted during a Botox procedure.
The medication may also cause your blinking reflex to slow down. You have to be aware of this and rest for quite some time before resuming your daily activities. You only have to rest for a couple of hours to avoid these occurrences.
Visual changes may also happen during a Botox therapy. Because botox toxin can cause paralysis of the eye muscles, your eyelids can close involuntarily. It’s necessary to stay upright after the procedure to avoid experiencing these side effects.
Botox also has a few drug to drug interactions. You need to avoid having the therapy if you have been taking alcohol or aspirin for the past two weeks. These substances have to be avoided weeks before the procedure so you can avoid some effects like bruising.

Certain medicines may react negatively and can increase the risk of Botox side effects. Discuss your medical history and the list of medicines that you are taking with the doctor prior to the Botox treatment.
- Antibiotics such as tobramycin, clindamycin, lincomycin and gentamicin can increase the risk of Botox side effects.
- Medicines for Alzheimer’s disease, myasthenia gravis and heart disease (such as quinidine), have certain reactions with Botox that can increase the risk of side effects.
- Over-the-counter and herbal medicines have no known chemical reactions with Botox, so it is important that you discuss the medicines you are taking prior to your treatment of Botox Cosmetic.

Pregnant Women are not a candidate for the Botox procedure. Because a toxin is induced, it could be detrimental for your baby. You have to tell the physician if you’re pregnant or lactating to avoid any detrimental changes.
After the Botox procedure, you have to carefully follow the doctor’s instructions to avoid experiencing the side effects. You will be asked to rest for four hours and avoid certain body positions like bending over.

Blackheads Treatment

What are blackheads?

First of all, you might wonder what the difference is between a blackhead and a whitehead. A blackhead is a comedone formed when the opening of a hair follicle becomes wider than normal. Because the follicle opening is wider, the sebum (sebaceous glands produce a substance called sebum, which is responsible for keeping the skin and hair moisturized) and the sloughed off dead skin cells react chemically with the air, resulting in the oxidation of melanin, which in turn causes the dark coloration of the blackhead.

What is Acne?
Ultimately acne results from infection of the oil gland due to the blockage by the blackhead. Therefore preventing and removing blackheads helps to control acne.

What are whiteheads?
On the other hand, a whitehead is a comedone formed from a hair follicle that is not open to the air. It is also clogged with sebum and sloughed off dead skin cells, but the lack of exposure to the air does not lead to the oxidation of melanin, so the clogged matter stays white.

Reasons

Blackheads are caused by many reasons including stress, hormones, using the wrong skin products, and pollutants in the air. The bestblackhead removal technique is prevention, and listed below are several ways you can take care of your skin to keep blackheads from forming.

Tips on battling blackheads

Steam your face daily. Warm steam from a steamer or a warm cloth is a good way to open the pores and clean out the oily gunk.
Be gentle with cleansing. When cleansing the face, avoid harsh soap and rough cloths. Instead, use a mild non-comedogenic cleanser twice a day. Also, take care not to scrub the face as you may cause more harm to your skin.
Do not pop your blackheads. Popping that huge blackhead may be tempting, but you should avoid doing this at all costs. Popping and squeezing may not only make blackheads multiply, but it can also lead to skin infection and bad acne scarring.
Take caution when shaving. Make sure that you shave with a sharp, clean razor and prep by softening the hair first with soap and water. Any cuts and nicks from shaving may make a blackhead outbreak worse.
Use oil free cosmetics. All cosmetics including cleansers, lotions, shampoos, conditioners, and body washes should be oil free and labeled as non-comedogenic. These types of products are less likely to clog the pores.

Using these preventative skin care techniques will improve any case of blackheads, from mild to severe.

When To See Your Doctor?

If you have severe acne, or it is leaving scars, you should see a dermatologist. They should be able to give you more information on how to get rid of blackheads.

Treat your Problems with Healthy Diet

“Your food is your grave,” wrote Bernard Shaw. This short, cryptic statement, tells you about the importance of the food you eat.

Notwithstanding lots of research done on the subject, cross sections of opinions, statements and explanations, I wish to tell you one thing very clearly. Acne is outer expressions on your skin, the inner impurities within the skin. It is believed that by changing the diet pattern, you can reduce the attacking force of acne. And it does not take a long time, for the changes to occur.

It is noticed that by switching over to a plant based, vegetarian diet, an appreciable reduction in the amount of sebum present on the skin is noticed. The level of sebum content in the skin is related to the arrival and presence of acne. Your vegetarian diet helps to defeat acne, within a month, even without medication!

But be sincere to the procedure of diet, and do not show even the slightest latitude. Even if you take a short break with the diet, the retreating acne is not going to condone you. It will find its opportunity to attack you with renewed vigor. Your acne condition will immediately worsen.

It is not enough that your diet is vegetarian, but you need to be a selective vegetarian. The foods that you normally consider healthy are not good for acne condition. In fact, they are taboo. The vegetarian foods that you considered excellent, like seeds, nuts, soyabeans.

Slim look for big fat wedding

Arranged marriage system and importance of physical beauty in selecting prospective partners, has played a big role in growth of cosmetic surgery market. Indian wedding market would continue to be a big driver in growth of cosmetic surgery in India in 2010 also. Breast Implant surgery and liposuction will be most popular pre-marriage surgical procedures amongst girls while large male breast(Gynecomastia) reduction surgery/ liposuction will be more popular among boys. ‘Lip Pout’ with filler injections and Botox for excessive sweating in underarms will be popular in non surgical cosmetic procedures among girls during preparations for marriage.

More women are choosing Cosmetic Surgery to try to look their best on their wedding days, according to Dr. Pritam, Senior Cosmetic Laser Surgeon, New Look Cosmetic Skin Laser Center. Only recently has it gotten to be almost like part of the wedding package. This is probably the day when you’re photographed more than any other in your whole life. Brides want their wedding photos to be flawless. Dr. Pritam said the most common pre-wedding work includes liposuction, breast augmentation, Rhinoplasty and facial procedures.

A NEW reality show featuring soon-to-be married women competing for the plastic surgery procedures of their dreams will premiere on US television in November. Former Playboy model Shanna Moakler will host the 10-episode series. In “Bridalplasty,” 12 engaged women will live in a mansion and compete in “wedding-themed” challenges to win the ultimate prize of a cosmetic surgery makeover, reported E! Yesterday. Winning bride will reveal her post-op body to her groom at the altar – in the series finale.

Planning surgery at least 3 -6 months before the wedding to allow plenty of time for scheduling and healing and be sure to pick a board-certified Cosmetic surgeon.

With an increasing number of minimally invasive treatments available, noninvasive, many procedures no longer require hospitalization.Cosmetic surgery in general, is much safer and more convenient. Cosmetic procedures require less time, and the payback period is also reduced considerably.

Due to the fact that cosmetic surgery centers are a luxury convenient alternative to traditional hospital surgery, cosmetic surgery now attracts people from all walks of life.

The Top treatments which Brides to be come up with:-

Fraxel – a laser skin resurfacing treatment that reduces wrinkles, removes age spots and can help rejuvenate the face
Botox – removes or reduces fine lines and wrinkles
Tooth Whitening – standard beauty treatments that enhance the smile
Microdermabrasion – a skin resurfacing facial treatment that can give skin that ‘inner glow’ and also reduce fine lines and wrinkles
Hair Reduction – removes body hair

Most cosmetic surgical procedures are inherently safe. But problems can arise when multiple procedures are done. Overall, the safety of cosmetic surgery has not changed over the last number of years. What has changed, however, is the public’s awareness of potential risks in cosmetic surgery. Cosmetic surgical procedures are invasive and can demand a lot from the patient. They should not be taken lightly, and full medical disclosure to your physician is necessary.

There are some common insecurities or questions our clients come up with. Following are the questions patient generally inquires about:-

Am I a good candidate for this procedure? Why or why not?
Are there treatments other than surgery that might work just as well or better for me?
How many times have you done this procedure? What were the results?
Can you share photos or diagrams to help me understand the procedure and the expected results?
Can the desired effect be accomplished in one procedure, or do you anticipate multiple procedures?
What are the specific surgical options? What are the pros and cons for each?
What type of anesthetic will be used? How will it affect me?
Will I be hospitalized? If so, for how long?
What are the possible complications?
How will my progress be monitored after surgery? What follow-up care will I receive?
How much will the procedure cost?
How often is “touch-up” surgery needed? Is it covered in the cost estimate?
