Target Acne with Botox

By Cam A. Lennot


For over twenty year, Botox has been approved and vigorously utilized for cosmetic purposes. Most people are familiar with its safety and effectiveness in reducing facial lines and wrinkles. But there's a new treatment area where there seems to be a promising solution. The treatment of acne and the reduction of pore size are two areas where Botox is now being actively used.

It's not surprising, for anyone with teenagers, that one of the most commonly occurring skin conditions is acne. An occasional acne breakout seems to be the norm these days, with estimates as high as 100% for the teen population. The more surprising stat is that, of those teenagers that have some acne issues, a whopping forty percent seek doctor treatment due the severity of the acne. There are very severe forms, like cystic acne. In this instance, the scars can affect an individual for the remainder of their lives. The exact cause of acne is not known, but it is thought to result from a combination of factors including excess oil or sebum production and ineffective exfoliation resulting in pore clogging, bacterial overgrowth and inflammation.

Botox has shown some great results in the treatment of people suffering from acne. Botox is injected just under the skin to get at the source of the oil producing glands. Pore size should be reduced and the overall impact of the acne should be severely diminished. The secret of Botox pore shrinking is a very shallow injection placed at the depth of the sebaceous glands. This is unlike the normal Botox treatment for wrinkles, which tend to target the muscle tissue under the skin.

What you Should Ask your Physician

- Are you certified in Botox injections?

- How long have you been performing Botox and what is the average volume of treatments you perform every year?

- Are there other procedures I should consider rather than Botox?

- Is there another treatment that can enhance my Botox procedure?

- Are there any promotions that could benefit me?

- Can you tell me exactly what will happen on the day of my treatment?

Choosing an injector based solely on price can be a gamble. Sometimes, you get what you pay for. Looking for the most competitive price is not always a bad thing. But be sure to do the proper research when selecting a physician.

The No Pain Solution

In contrast to going under the knife, these injections are virtually painless, as is their recovery. The actual injection is sometimes described as a small pin prick or a mosquito bite. Most patients experience no discomfort at all. Post Botox, there is no downtime needed for the recovery period. Patients can proceed as if nothing had occurred. You can even schedule an appointment on your way from home to work.
