Smooth Fine Lines and Feel Confident in Your Skin with Botox®
Whether you’re noticing more wrinkles as you age or wish to receive preventative injections to keep your skin youthful, Botox can help. Botox injections act as muscle relaxants, serving both cosmetic and medical applications. Many of our patients use Botox to turn back the clock on wrinkles and frown lines..
Botox can improve the following:
- Wrinkles
- Dimpling
- Poor skin definition
- Facial asymmetry
- Gummy smiles
- Downturned lip corners
What Is Botox?
Botox® is an FDA-approved cosmetic treatment for reducing forehead lines, though as you can see from the list above, it does much more. Botox includes a purified form of botulinum toxin type A. Injections of botulinum toxin cause temporary muscle weakness at the injection site, which relaxes facial muscles and inhibits wrinkles.
We can administer Botox to several areas of concern at once since the procedure requires little to no downtime. The effects typically last a few months, and we can continue re-treating as needed.
How Does Botox® Work?
Wrinkles form as you contract and flex your facial muscles over time. Decades of smiling, laughing, and raising your eyebrows require a lot of muscular movement, which stretches your skin, creating folds and wrinkles. Botox softens and prevents wrinkles by reducing your face’s muscular activity.
The injection contains neurotoxins that safely weaken facial muscles and affect your nerve responses. By preventing specific facial muscles from contracting, your existing wrinkles can soften, and you can prevent additional lines from forming.
The injection itself requires a single, tiny needle in the targeted area. Avoid taking blood thinners before your appointment, as they can increase bruising. Most of our clients feel minimal pain from the injection, though you may feel slight discomfort that quickly wears off.
After your appointment, you won’t need to worry about any healing time, and the results typically last for around three to four months. The amount of Botox we use and your general muscle strength can impact how long your injection lasts.
For the best results, we can continue with follow-up treatments. If you’re unsure about what you need, schedule a consultation with our team, and we can discuss your options.
