Ready To Tackle Those Fine Lines And Wrinkles? How To Prepare For Your Botox Injections

by Joann Dunn

So you're ready to get rid of all those fine lines, and signs of aging that are all over your face. If you've decided that Botox is way to go, you're in good company. Many people are now turning to Botox to get rid of the signs of aging. In fact, many young people are using it as a way to prevent wrinkles altogether. By starting their injections before their first wrinkles appear, they're able to slow down the appearance of aging, and retain their youthful appearance. If you've chosen Botox injections, it's important that you be prepared for the process. Here are four steps you can take to enjoy the best outcome from your Botox injections.

Be Open and Honest

Now that you've decided to begin Botox treatment, it's important that you be as open and honest with your doctor as you possibly can. This should include providing as much detail about your medical history as you can. The more information you provide your doctor with, the less chance of complications you'll be exposed to. Some of the things you should tell your doctor about include allergies, recent surgeries, medication use, including over-the-counter, and prescription. You should also tell your doctor if you're pregnant, trying to get pregnant, or breastfeeding. This information will help your doctor plan the right treatment for you. It's also important to note that you should talk to your doctor about blood thinners. If you're taking any, your doctor will need to know about them.

Aim for the Same Goal

When it comes to Botox, there are many different goals. For some, they just want the fine lines to disappear. For others, they're looking for that smooth, "frozen" appearance that can come with Botox injections. When discussing treatment options with your doctor, it's important that you both aim for the same goal. If you just want to see those fine lines disappear, be sure to let your doctor know that's what your goal is. That way, you'll both be pleased with the results.

Ask Plenty of Questions

While you're in the planning stages of your Botox injections, you may have lots of questions. If you do, make sure you ask them. Bring a note pad with you to every appointment so that you're prepared to ask your questions, and jot down the answers. Asking questions will help you prepare for your injections. You should also be prepared to ask plenty of questions once you begin treatment. If you develop any symptoms you weren't expecting after injections, such as increased redness or itching, be sure to contact your doctor as soon as possible.

Pregnant? What You Need to Know About Your Pregnancy

During my first pregnancy, I spent a lot of time pushing pillows behind my back trying to find comfort. As the size of the baby grew, so did my discomfort. By the time she was born, I was more than ready to give birth. When I found out I was pregnant again, I was determined that I would not suffer through the same discomforts. I started researching ways to ease the symptoms of pregnancy, including back pain. I created this blog to help other expectant moms find remedies to deal with those symptoms that can be emotionally and physically draining.
