Looking younger is the mantra of Baby Boomers. This generation and the subsequent generations have greatly contributed to the gold-filled pockets of plastic surgeons everywhere. The Botox and Restylane craze has never been more evident than in today’s society. Aging just isn’t what it used to be; now there is a plethora of anti-aging products for every price range that make lots of promises. What happened to aging gracefully?

Over and over again, the phrase “non-invasive” is touted but having injections, whether they’re in your arm, your buttocks or your face is invasive. An injection requires a needle and when it is shoved into your skin, it is an invasion.

Yes, having an injection rather than a full-blown surgical procedure is non-surgical. There are many, many doctors and other practitioners who want consumers to believe that little doses of cadaver material or botulism injected in the forehead, the outer eye area and around the mouth, is not invasive but let’s tell it like it is.

On a recent network morning show, two women, moms in their 40’s, were willing to undergo “non-invasive procedures” to look younger. While the noted dermatologist took her black marker and began drawing on the faces to demonstrate how Botox and other material would be injected into certain areas to fill out and alleviate visible signs of aging, it was striking to see just how desperate these housewives have become. These injections would have cost at least $1500 - $2000 for a procedure that will have to be repeated at least twice during a one-year period of time if they want to maintain their results.

The quest for slowing down the aging process has become a multi-billion dollar business and in 2004, over 9 million cosmetic procedures were performed. Even though the effects of injections are gone in a short amount of time and plastic surgery requires updating, patients, particularly women, may have fallen into a trap believing that these procedures are the only avenue of preserving their looks.

There are other ways to turn back the clock without surgery or invasive injections and one is exercise, facial exercise. Exercising your face will restore the tone and firmness that you thought may have been lost forever. There is no recovery time, no risks of any type and you won’t end up with the face of a stranger.

Crow’s feet are a major concern because eyes look tired when these pesky little lines are apparent. The reason they form is because the forehead muscle has elongated due to gravity and life; when this happens, the muscles surrounding the eyes become compressed by the gravitational weight on them.

There is an easy remedy to alleviate the look of crow’s feet: Place the three middle fingers of each hand underneath each eye brow. Push the eyebrows up and slightly outward. Hold your eyebrows high and begin to use your forehead muscle to push down into your fingertips. (Make certain you are not creating lines between your eyebrows; push outward towards the temple area after pushing up) Count slowly to five. Remove your hands, take a deep breath, and again position your fingertips underneath your brows. Push the eyebrows up and slightly outward. Hold them high and begin to use your forehead muscle to push down into your fingertips. Count to ten – at count 7, close your eyes. (This action forces oxygenated blood to the eye lids) Remove your hands and repeat this two more times for a total of thirty-five seconds of exercise. If this exercise is performed once a day for six days in a row, in less than three weeks, the eyebrows will have lifted and crow’s feet will be less noticeable.

See how easy that was and you saved $3500! You can lift your entire face and neck with simple isometric/resistance exercises that require thirty five seconds for each movement. No pain, no anesthesia, no risk and great results – at home and in hardly any time at all.

Which wrinkles and lines bother you the most? Are these lines and wrinkles the type that are best eliminated using Botox?

If you choose to eliminate only the wrinkles that can be treated with Botox, will any of the remaining ones still leave you unsatisfied with your appearance? For example, if you want both your frown lines and marionette lines removed, you will likely need a different cosmetic procedure to have the marionette lines eliminated.

It should point out that Botox injections work best on crow’s-feet (wrinkles radiating from the outside corners of the eyes), worry lines (horizontal forehead lines), and frown lines (vertical lines, also called glabellar lines, that appear be­tween the eyebrows). These are wrinkles that are typically caused by chronic contractions of the muscles under or adja­cent to these areas of the face. Laughing, smiling, frowning, and squinting are some of the common facial expressions that can cause these lines. If you have lines and wrinkles on other parts of your face that concern you, you may need other types of cosmetic procedures to eliminate them. With that in mind, consider these questions:

Which wrinkles and lines bother you the most? Are these lines and wrinkles the type that are best eliminated using Botox?

The followings are the types of lines and wrinkles:

From the top of your face down, bothersome facial wrin­kles have the following names and locations. Notice that Botox is not the best choice for all types of wrinkles and lines.

Forehead lines: horizontal lines, often called worry lines. These lines form mainly because the underlying frontalis muscle, which stretches across the forehead, moves when you make facial expressions. When you lift your brow—sometimes referred to as the "aha" or surprised look—the muscle contracts, which causes the skin that is covering the muscle to pull, wrinkle, and then return to its original position when you relax the muscle. Now consider the countless number of times you’ve used these muscles. As you age, your skin be­gins to lose its elasticity, it suffers from sun damage, and the constant contracting and relaxing of the muscle results in forehead lines. These can be eliminated using Botox or filler injections such as collagen or fat.

Frown lines: vertical lines, also known as glabellar lines, that appear between the eyebrows. These linescan make you appear serious, angry, or stressed even when you’re not. It is for the removal of these lines that the Food and Drug Administration gave approval for Botox in April 2002. These lines are best removed with Botox. If you’ve frowned a lot over the years and the lines are very deeply etched, you may also need wrinkle fillers (e.g., collagen, fat) to eliminate these lines. Your doctor will discuss your options with you.

Crow’s-feet: lines that radiate from the outside corners of the eyes. They’re also known as periorbital lines. If you have these lines, they’re most likely the result of smiling and squinting. If you look in the mirror ands mile or squint, notice how your muscles contract and cause your eyelids to nearly cover your eyes and how the muscles contract at the corners of your eyes where the lines appear. Crow’s-feet are best eliminated with Botox, plus adjunctive treatment such as collagen, chemical peels, or laser resurfacing.

Laugh lines: also known as smile lines or nasolabial lines, they are the two vertical lines that run from the out­side corners of the nose down to the top of the outside of the upper lip. Even though they are called laugh lines, gravity and aging are also factors in their development. They can best be eliminated using wrinkle fillers (e.g., collagen, fat, AlloDerm, Cymetra, Gore-Tex, or SoftForm).

Lipstick or smoker’s lines: the tiny radiating lines that appear above the upper lip and below the lower one. It seems as though everyone has a different name for these annoying wrinkles, which are best removed using laser resurfacing, chemical peel, microdermabrasion, or wrinkle fillers—tissue augmentation (e.g., collagen in­jections, AlloDerm, fat)—in addition to Botox.

Marionette lines: the often deep lines that run down from the outside corners of the mouth toward the chin. These lines develop from a combination of factors, in­cluding gravity (the cheeks tend to sag from the force of gravity) and thinning of the supporting tissue that comes with age. These wrinkles are best eliminated using wrinkle fillers or laser resurfacing. Another option is a face-lift, a complex surgical procedure.

If you’ll still be bothered by the remaining lines and wrinkles, are you willing to have other cosmetic procedures done to correct them? Naturally, you will need to discuss all your options and prices with your doctor, but you should be aware that other procedures may be needed for you to get the look you desire. You also should know that while Botox injections don’t involve any recovery time, some other cosmetic procedures do.

Yes, your favorite Hollywood star just got herself a botox treatment again. And from the looks of it, she’s sporting a face ten years younger it actually is. With results like these, how can people ignore botox any longer?

Botox is the cosmetic treatment of choice for most of today’s beauty conscious individuals. Due to its incessant popularity, plastic surgery and other ‘bloody’ treatments available are steadily being outhustled by botox. Botox’s tagline reads :safe, fast, and effective – more often than not, it lives up to its promise.

The most attractive thing about botox is that its effects show relatively quick and are sometimes so dramatic, people can’t believe their eyes. Botox treatments are fast. They last about ten minutes. They are also easily administered through multiple injections around the face. After treatment, the effects of botox will last about 6 months. These factors add to its growing popularity.

In fact, botox injections are so popular that in 2001 1.6 million people underwent treatment for their faces. This is a steep increase of 46 percent as compared to 2000. People are now calling botox the ultimate fountain of youth.

But what is botox, anyway? Some sort of medicine? An operation? Some ancient herbal secret?

The truth is, botox is a poison.

Botulinum Toxin Type A (the scientific name of botox) is produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. It is a protein complex that produces a toxin that causes food poisoning.

The botulinum toxin, when given in a medical, injectible form, blocks the release of the chemical acetylcholine by nerve cells. Acetylecholine is the chemical that signals muscle contraction.

As an injected treatment for wrinkles, botox selectively paralyzes some of the underlying muscles in the face. This leads to a smoothing out of wrinkles, and lines making the face look younger.

Botox, as a medical treatment, was first approved for use in 1989 to treat eye muscle disorders. In 2000, it was approved to treat neurological disorders that affected the back and neck muscles. The researchers noticed, however, that these treatments had a desirable side effect – the patients’ face seemed to look younger due to the muscle paralyzing effect of botox. This lead to its development as a cosmetic treatment.

Botox is not without its side-effects (It’s ironic though, since Botox as a treatment for wrinkles started out as a side effect.). The treatment may cause headaches, and flu-like symptoms. The patient may also suffer from droopy eyelids, facial pain, minor inflammation and vomiting.

Those who wish to undergo botox treatment should, however, make sure that the person who does the procedure is a qualifed doctor. That doctor should also be qualified in cosmetic treatment. Patients will also be advised to avoid alcohol for a few hours. They may be asked to remain in an upright position too.

You may be wondering if it is possible to contract botulism or food poisoning symptoms from cosmetic botox treatments. The answer to that is no. The medical form of botox does not carry significant risk of poisoning a person. However, if too much botox is used during a treatment, it may cause drooping eyelid muscles and a generally flappy facial appearance. This may also happen if the injection is made in the wrong spot.

Ah, yes, vanity, vanity. But at least it’s safe. Botox looks to be the cosmetic treatment of the next generation. And into that generation, even those who are aging will look like they have found the fountain of youth.

What is Erbium Laser Resurfacing?

The Erbium laser is a one of the latest tools employed in the treatment of wrinkles, acne scars, aged and sun-damaged skin. The Erbium laser provides a method of skin resurfacing this utilizes the cool light of the Erbium laser. The results of this method are less post-procedure redness, less swelling and a greater turn around in healing time than with other laser skin resurfacing methods. All of this culminates in the Erbium laser being a more accurate and less painful method of restoring one’s skin to its more youthful appearance.

Length and details of the Erbium Laser resurfacing procedure

In the Erbium Laser Resurfacing procedure a small area of the skins surface is heated with the cool Erbium laser which in turn vaporizes superficial damaged skin cells and resulting in the thickening of the skins collagen. Laser Resurfacing is sought after for its ability to aid in reducing the surface damaged caused by acne, facial scars, fine or emerging wrinkles.

The length of the Erbium laser procedure varies from 15 minutes to slightly more than an hour depending on the individuals needs.

To minimize on discomfort a local anesthetic may be employed, for some erbium laser resurfacing procedures.

As this procedure is performed in an outpatient environment, almost all patients can return home the same day.

Healing is more rapid because the Erbium laser results in decreased redness, swelling, and bruising associated with laser resurfacing.

In most procedures, patients are able to fully recuperate within 7-10 days. Make-up can be worn after the first week. At this point patients may return to regular activities with consideration kept in mind of the skins ongoing healing. The use of sun block on treated areas is recommended when in the sun. Over the next several weeks, the pinkness of the exposed skin will lighten to reveal the normal tone, yet with a softer, smoother, and younger appearance.

Risks and/or complications related to Erbium Laser Resurfacing

The Erbium laser resurfacing procedure produces a smaller number of undesired effects and complications than other laser resurfacing procedures. With this in mind some adverse effects are to be anticipated and should be misconstrued as complications. Some minor adverse effects of laser resurfacing may consist of transient erythema, edema, and pruritus. Prior laser resurfacing treatment may also prolong the healing process.

What is the cost of Erbium Laser Resurfacing?

The price of an Erbium Laser Resurfacing will depend on your individual needs. It will also very on your geographic location. The national average cost of an Erbium Laser Resurfacing procedure runs from $1500 for a single area of focus to $3300 for a full facial treatment.

Will my insurance cover an Erbium Laser Resurfacing procedure?

Because an Erbium Laser Resurfacing procedure is considered an elective procedure, insurance usually will not cover the operation.

The benefits of Botox injections are obvious to most of us. Reduced wrinkles, and crow’s feet. The disappearance of frown lines, and other markings around the neck. But at what cost are we putting ourselves through this? Is this the only way to reduce some of our aging appearances?

While unknown to some there are risks associated with receiving Botox Injections. Botox is closely related to botulism, and some of the side effects can be quite dangerous. Side effects as simple as bruising or nausea can occur but more serious events such as Dysphasia—a verbal impairment or Ptosis—an abnormal paralysis in various muscles near and around the injection site can occur.

The other downside while not dangerous from a medical standpoint but more a financial one is that Botox injections do not last a long time. More over the positive effects of the injection will begin to wear off after a three or so months. Meaning you may find yourself receiving Botox three or four times a year. Is this a painful procedure you actually want to go through that often?

The good news is there are alternatives, and guess what they don’t involve needles or injections. Cosmetic and skin care product manufacturers are progressing leaps and bounds in research and development of new products. They’re learning to deliver collagen and other nutrients directly into the skin. These procedures are yielding benefits similar and equal to botox over time.

The advantages of considering a product over a Botox injection are of course the obvious one, you don’t need to get the injection any longer, but also the cost and medical risks associate with injections. Purchasing a skin care product once every three too six months isn’t as expensive as booking an appointment with your local cosmetic surgeon to receive botox. Nor are there the same medical risks associated with cosmetic products as there is with the injections.

With this information it’s obvious that Botox is not the only alternative to reducing wrinkles and other marks of aging. The social and financial costs associated with Botox can be traded in for safer cosmetic product solutions to anti aging. Of course if you have any questions or concerns about a particular product or procedure be sure to consult your family doctor, but you can rest assured that the pain savings alone using a skin care product rather then receiving an injection will be well worth the switch.

A consultation is mainly a time for communication between the patient and surgeon. The patient must be given time to express what is bothersome. For example, a patient may have hanging and excessive upper eyelids, bags under their eyes, and droopy eyebrows. From the patient’s perspective, it may only be the upper eyelids that are bothersome. Dr. Ebroon feels very strongly that a patient should only work to address what is bothersome to them.

After listening to the patient’s concerns it is time to review the medical history. What other medical conditions does the patient have? What surgeries has she had in the past? Does she have any particular eye conditions? Is she allergic to medications? What family history exists? Does the patient smoke? What else is going on medically?

Once these questions are answered, then Dr. Ebroon can perform a comprehensive examination of the eyes, eyelids, and face. This includes taking vision, taking ten separate measurements of the eyelids, assessing for dry eye with two different dry eye tests, looking at the eye with a microscope, assessing the position and strength of the eyelids, checking for droopy eyelids, measuring eyebrow position, looking for normal eye reflexes, testing the nerves around the eyes, and taking eyelid photographs.

Once the physical examination is completed, Dr. Ebroon can give his recommendations. He discusses what surgical technique he would advise, if any. He also discusses any special circumstances of the surgery given a patient’s unique medical history and physical examination. For example, a patient with dry eyes might be told that their surgery needs to be more conservative so as not to exacerbate the dryness.

Finally, Dr. Ebroon tries to answer any remaining questions. He tries to anticipate common questions that are asked during the consultation. Nevertheless, patients always have unique concerns that are best addressed at this point after a thorough history and physical examination. Dr. Ebroon recognizes that patients feel much more comfortable when they have been given enough time to ask questions.

Patients meet Dianne, Dr. Ebroon’s surgical coordinator, after the consultation is completed. Dianne is happy to review “before and after” pictures of other patients who have had surgery. (These pictures are all from patients who have given our office permission to show their pictures to others.) It can be quite helpful to see examples of others who have benefited from blepharoplasty.

Dianne can also go over possible surgical dates. Dr. Ebroon performs most of his surgery on Fridays so that patients can incorporate the weekend into the healing process. Dr. Ebroon’s surgical schedule is often booked for a at least a few weeks. Sometimes a cancellation will open up a sooner date.

Dr. Daniel Ebroon is an Ophthalmic Plastic Surgeon which means he specializes in plastic surgery of the eyelids. Cosmetic eyelid surgery (also called blepharoplasty) is cosmetic surgery that rejuvinates tired looking eyes.

You knew it had to happen. Eventually the whole world would be looking at every Hollywood star and trying to figure out the one burning question in the back of their mind, "Did she or didn’t she?" or, he as the case may be. We of course are referring to the stars who have gone and gotten themselves a bit of Botox injected into their faces.

While none of the rumors can be confirmed, except by the few stars who have actually admitted to having Botox injections, these rumors are still flying around the Internet and magazines. Some may surprise you. Others, you probably would have bet your life that they were getting pumped up.

We’ll start the rumor mill off with probably two of the hottest stars today because of the show "Desperate Housewives". We’re of course referring to the very hot Nicolette Sheridan and Teri Hatcher. In an actual interview, Hatcher admits to having had some work done on her face. She said, and I quote, "In the past I’ve had Botox and collagen". She then went on to deny that she and Nicolette Sheridan have had any plastic surgery and didn’t know if Sheridan had had Botox injections. Sheridan herself would not offer any comment but if you take a good look at her face, as many plastic surgery experts have pointed out, and compare it to her days on Knots Landing, it is painfully obvious that she has had work done on her face and most likely has had Botox as well.

Hatcher went on to say that she stopped the Botox injections, not for any health reasons but simply because she finally decided to let herself age naturally. She said that the last time she had an injection was over a year ago.

Another big name in the rumor mill is Cher. She has always publicly admitted to having work done on her face as well as many other parts of her body. However, she admits to some surgeries but when asked about other surgeries she denies them. As for Botox, she has never actually said she has or hasn’t. The question probably just never came up.

Of course, one of the most famous names in history for plastic surgery is Joan Rivers. She is one of the few people who has admitted to having so much work done on her face and her body that she incorporates jokes about these procedures into her comedy routine. She has made Botox a running joke in her life and it has paid off.

The men are not exempt from the Botox craze. Ryan Seacrest, it has been reported, has been forbidden by doctors to have anymore Botox treatments for certain undisclosed health reasons. These reports have not been confirmed but they are all over the Internet.

And the list of stars goes on and on. Famous celebrities on the rumor mill also include Sylvester Stallone, Elizabeth Taylor, Madonna and Phyllis Diller.

With millions of people getting these shots each year, according to statistics, somebody is getting them and let’s face it, some of these people shouldn’t be looking as good as they do.

There is an old story about a town of people who were running for their lives from an approaching asteroid. They ran to the edge of town and were confronted with a cliff and a long drop. Seeing the asteroid behind them, they all jumped off the cliff. On the way down, one person shouted out, "Do you think we’re going to survive the fall?"

Such is the case with people and less extreme circumstances, such as when they look in the mirror and see they have wrinkles on their forehead, crows feet and heaven knows what else. They scream in horror saying, "My God! Where is my Botox?" and they head straight for the doctor. Then, after getting the injection, they ask the doctor, "Um, doc, is this stuff safe?"

The truth is, up to the present, nobody has proven that Botox is harmful in any way. But one has to ask oneself a few questions and compare the situation to other things in medical history that at first appeared to be perfectly safe and then turned out to be total disasters, resulting in massive lawsuits. To illustrate an example of this one needs to go no further than Vioxx. The lawyers are having a field day with that one.

Given that Botox is made from botulism, albeit a purified form, one has to wonder just how safe this stuff really is, especially if taken for a long period of time. To start our suspicions we need go no further than some studies that were done on doctors who perform such procedures as Botox injections.

Research shows that many doctors fail to take a person’s medical history before even administering these injections. That is something that should be standard procedure. Then there are the so called "lunch time treatments" where patients just pop by a doctors office for an injection with no appointment, much like getting an allergy shot. Currently there are attempts to make tighter restrictions on these pop in treatments.

Then there are those reports of actual botched treatments where the doctor injected the wrong area of the patient in spite of the fact that it was clearly indicated in the patient’s chart which areas were to be injected for that particular visit.

While none of this actually proves that Botox itself is dangerous, it does tend to make a person wonder. If treatments involving Botox are so lax and regulations are so weak or non existent, then certainly there is too much room for abuse by money-hungry doctors who have no concern for their patients’ well being. The simple answer of "It’s perfectly safe" just doesn’t wash with all that is going on and reported everyday.

The only thing we do know for certain about Botox is that it can cause side effects such as bruising, headaches, double vision or temporary drooping of the eyebrow or lid. Also, it can leave the face without expression. And the medical profession has admitted that if more than 2000 units are injected it can be toxic. A normal session is about 50 units.

Well, at least it’s a start. Now the world just sits and waits for the other shoe to drop just like with Vioxx.

With all the hype and insanity over people getting Botox injections for everything from a sagging chin to a droopy eyelid, one has to wonder just what it is that Botox does and how exactly does it work?

To understand exactly what Botox is and what it does, we first have to look at just how this amazing miracle of modern science came to be.

Botulinum toxins, which are what Botox basically comes from, were first researched back in the good old 60s during the hippie era. Originally the purpose of this was to treat neurological disorders. In 1989 Botox was finally approved by the FDA to treat eye muscle disorders like blepharospasm, uncontrollable blinking, strabismus, crossed eyes and even wrinkles. In the year 2000 it was approved to treat cervical dystonia. This is a disorder that causes severe neck and shoulder contractions and also a very unusual side effect of eye disorder treatments. In their research, doctors discovered that Botox softened the frown lines between the eyebrows. It was after this discovery that Botox officially came into existence and was FDA approved on April 15, 2002.

So what exactly does Botox do? How does it work? Well, when Botox is injected into the muscles of the forehead, it blocks nerve impulses which results in the weakening of the muscles that cause frowning. Eventually over a period of several months, given enough of these injections, the frown lines start to get softer and in many cases eventually disappear completely. Botox can also be injected into the muscles of the face that cause crows feet, forehead lines and frown lines.

Botox injections themselves are actually a diluted form of botulism. Yes, the same botulism that can make us very ill. Botox cosmetic is a purified form the Botulinum toxin.

The next question is, how exactly does it work? Well, to put it simply, every time you laugh, smile, frown, or for that matter do just about anything with your facial muscles, wrinkles are caused by the underlying contractions of these muscles. After years of making these expressions the wear and tear on your face begins to be noticeable and the lines start to become permanent. When these creases become permanent, no kind of skin cream can get rid of them. That’s where Botox comes in. After being injected into the effected area, it temporarily paralyzes these muscles so that you can’t make these expressions. That’s why people who have had Botox injections literally look like mannequins. You’ll still have enough movement to look semi human (a matter of opinion) but not enough to cause these wrinkles. So in fact by taking these Botox injections they make you look younger.

So what’s the price for this "fountain of youth?" Botox is not cheap, my friend. The average cost of just one Botox injection in the United States is about $350. This also depends on what area of your face is getting the injections. The area near the eyes is more expensive, costing between $400 and $900 per injection. For large surface areas such as the forehead, injections can be between $600 and $1300 a pop.

And with all the fuss about simply looking younger, one has to wonder how safe these injections are. That is probably best left for another time.

Women who wear makeup and want to apply a treatment method for wrinkles are limited in the products available. Many products on the market are oil-based. Using these products with foundation can be messy at best. Most products formulated to treat wrinkles are oil based. It can be difficult to apply foundation over products that are oil based. In addition, the oil can eventually seep through the foundation, giving the skin an uneven appearance. Instead of having to go without foundation, women who use foundation should use an alternative treatment.

The good news about DermaPro is that not only allows women who wear foundation to treat their skin for wrinkles, but it actually facilitates better foundation application. It actually prepares the application process to be smoother. DermaPro is an alternative wrinkle treatment for women who use foundation, but it is also a Botox alternative in general. DermaPro works similar to Botox in that it is formulated to relax the muscles so that wrinkles and fine lines become smoother and less visible to the eye. When you apply DermaPro prior to using foundation, your skin will also appear smooth. So, you can treat you skin while looking beautiful. DermaPro goes a step further and actually improves the way your foundation looks.

It takes a powerful product to treat wrinkles. Most products of this type have a particular ingredient that does all the work. In relation to DermaPro, the active ingredient is Thalassine. There are many chemicals available that can smooth skin afflicted with signs of aging. Although the Thalassine in DermaPro works similar to Botox, it is not a toxin. Dermapro is so light that you can apply it along with a moisturizer, sunscreen and foundation. A 1-ounce bottle of DermaPro costs nearly 100 dollars, which may be considered expensive. However, you won’t use but a minimal amount of the product.

Detailed information about botox alternatives, including tips on wrinkle reduction, are available at Botox alternative.
