Botox boost for acne-scarred teenagers
Acne has long been one of the biggest bug-bears of teenage life for millions of people around the world. Whether you were lucky enough to get away with a few pimples or were left with huge blotches on your face during your younger years, most people suffer the typical adolescent ailment to some degree. It’s mostly a hormonal thing, but new research seems to come out all the time, blaming everything from a person’s diet to their environment.
While some teenagers are lucky enough to wave goodbye to their acne as they enter their 20s, for many the scars can live with them for many years afterwards. However, help is at hand with Botox, which is being increasingly used to treat the scars left behind by teenage spots. Speaking to 9News, Professor Greg Goodman from Monash University explained that these non-surgical botox injections can help to smooth pitted skin. This is because Botox is used as a muscle relaxant, he said. “If it happens to be that you’re contracting a muscle that is pulling the scar apart a bit, Botox can help to ease that, so it doesn’t have as much stress on the existing scar tissue,” he commented. In many treatments, Botox is used in combination with dermal fillers to further smooth the skin and scar tissue, the expert added.
Acne treatment is just one of the latest uses that’s been found for the cosmetic surgery world’s favourite modern-day wonder cure. In little over a decade, the injection has transformed the way clinics deal with a whole range of skin-related conditions. It’s perhaps best known for its anti-ageing properties, which see it used by people with a range of skin conditions. Often used to soften lines and crow’s feet, it’s particularly popular with those who have overdone it a bit in the sun and need to perk up their skin.
However, not all Botox treatments relate to a person’s appearance. One of the fastest-growing uses is for excessive sweating, an embarrassing condition that affects thousands of Britons. Injecting the substance into the hands or underarms can greatly reduce perspiration, which can take a great weight off a patient’s mind.
Perhaps one of Botox’s biggest strengths is just how quickly it can be applied. With no need to have surgery, a treatment can take as little as 15 minutes, meaning it can easily be squeezed into a busy lunchtime or weekend afternoon. So whether you’ve got acne scars to deal with or simply want to refresh your face, there’s likely to be a Botox treatment to suit you.
