Nearly 75 percent of all skin cancer deaths are from melanoma. Advanced melanoma spreads to internal organs and may result in death. One American dies from melanoma almost every hour.

Although I must admit that I was a little nervous, the procedure itself only took an hour and I only experienced minimal discomfort during the first few days.

An alarming and adverse national trend has caused millions of consumers to turn to unqualified providers triggering the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery (ASDS) to educate consumers.

Botox

Botox Cosmetic is one of the most popular aesthetic procedures being performed in the U.S.A by Dermatologists and plastic surgeons today.

Gathering or pulling of tissue between the eyebrows result in those undesired frown lines. These unattractive folds and furrows are caused by the repeated action of underlying muscles associated with facial expression. Years of squinting and frowning tend to leave deep wrinkles in the skin between the eyebrows and on the bridge of the nose, across the forehead, and at the corners of the eyes. Frown lines produce an angry or sad look that can detract from a pleasant facial appearance. Dermatological surgeons can now remedy these wrinkles and lines by a simple injection of botulinum toxin that can last up to four months.

What is Botox?
Botulinum toxin type A (BOTOX®) and botulinum toxin type B (MYOBIOC™) are purified substances derived from bacteria that block the nerve signals from the brain to the muscle. By injecting very tiny amounts into a specific facial muscle, only the impulse of that muscle will be blocked, causing a local relaxation and weakness. In this way, botulinum toxin acts as a muscle blockade to immobilize the underlying cause of the unwanted lines and prevent "wrinkly" expressions.

Botulinum toxin type A (BOTOX®) has been used since 1980 to treat many muscle disorders, such as lazy eye, and uncontrolled blinking. It was then pioneered by dermatological surgeons for cosmetic use in 1987. The FDA has granted approval to botulinum toxin type A (BOTOX® COSMETIC) for the temporary improvement in the appearance of moderate to severe glabellar vertical lines in adult men and women 65 or younger.

Studies have also suggested that Botox is effective in relieving migraine headaches, excessive sweating and muscle spasms in the neck and eyes. Botox injections relax the muscles that create wrinkles thereby lessening the appearance of frown lines, laugh lines and crow's feet. After a Botox injection, for example, you are no longer able to frown so the lines created by frowning are eliminated.
