In the quest of ageless beauty there are many remedies to help fight the signs of aging. For years the only way to fight the signs of aging was through plastic surgery. Plastic surgery is not only painful but expensive and recovery times can be up to 6 weeks. So now there are alternatives to help you rid yourself of wrinkles, frown marks, and crows feet. Botox injections are typically made into the face and neck area with a brief visit to the Dr. The procedure normally takes 30 to 40 minutes of brief injections, and an anesthetic cream is applied to the injection areas. Botox injections typically last 3 to 6 months, and if you don't continue the injections the area eventually returns to its original state. So once you start the injections it is imperative that you continue them in order for the process to work. Botox can be administered by some certified nurses but are typically performed by a dermatologist or plastic surgeon. The costs are associated with the procedures depends on who administers them. If a nurse administers the injections the costs can range from $200 - $600 for a treatment. If a dermatologist or plastic surgeon administers the treatment the costs range from $600 - $1200. As with any medical treatment there maybe side effects or allergic reactions to the procedure. Monitor the injection sites after your procedure and notify a doctor immediately if you notice any abnormal signs that could signal a reaction.
