Adult Acne: Blasting Zits Into Oblivion

My name is Jamie Turner and when I turned 22, I started to form a horrible case of acne. I used every cleanser and lotion I could find and I even asked my physician for a topical steroid cream to clear up the zits on my face. After six months of treatment, my physician completed a blood test that concluded that a hormone imbalance was causing my acne. I started on therapy to control the amount of estrogen my body produced. The therapy along with a good diet and exercise regimen helped to clear up my acne. I am sharing my story, because acne is not just a condition that affects teenagers. It can affect adults at any age, and it can cause a great deal of embarrassment. Don't let your acne go untreated. Read my blog instead and learn about both natural and medical treatments that can help you.

New To Botox? Here's All The Places You Can Use It

Health & Medical Blog

Botox is a popular anti-aging solution that many people use for fine lines, wrinkles, and other treatments. However, if you aren't familiar with Botox injections and are curious about how to use them, here's a closer look.

Facial Botox

The most common place to use Botox injections is your face, including:

  • Forehead. Facial Botox helps to erase horizontal lines on the forehead. Unfortunately, forehead wrinkles can cause a person to look older than they actually are. With small Botox injections, forehead furrows and wrinkles can be softened or erased altogether.
  • Eyebrows. Another popular use of Botox is for arched eyebrows. Botox can be used to lift eyebrows to create a more youthful and alert look. Downturned eyebrows can be corrected, bringing them to their ideal original position.
  • Frown lines. Frown lines are vertical lines between the eyebrows (often referred to as the 11s) and are known to make people look unapproachable or angry. Botox can smooth out the frown lines and give you a relaxed appearance. Over a short period of time, the area becomes less tense, and the appearance of wrinkles is reduced.
  • Crow's feet. Whether you affectionately call them 'smile lines' or, less affectionately, 'crow's feet,' the fine lines around your eyes tend to show up first as you age. Fortunately, Botox can minimize their appearance and smooth out the wrinkles while still maintaining a natural appearance.
  • Lip lines. Facial Botox injections can even work around your lips to decrease wrinkles and fine lines. Bunny lines on the nose and mouth corners may also benefit from Botox, creating a lifted look in the lip area.

Botox for Other Areas

In addition to facial Botox, this 'magic eraser' can also be used in other parts of your body to relax muscles and help you achieve the results you want, including:

  • Armpits. When Botox is injected into your armpits, it can reduce excessive sweating by causing temporary paralysis of the muscles that open the pores. 
  • Trapezius. Often called 'trap-tox,' injecting Botox into your trapezius muscles will relax the muscles and make your neck appear elongated.
  • Bladder. Botox injections are one treatment option for an overactive bladder. Injections are used at the base of the bladder to block signals from nerves that tell your bladder muscle to contract, helping reduce urinary incontinence. 

From arching your eyebrows to eliminating wrinkles around your lips, Botox can help you achieve the youthful appearance you desire. Contact a professional for more information about Botox injections.
