Minimize Lines and Wrinkles with BOTOX Cosmetic
BOTOX® is currently one of the most popular and effective treatments for minimizing fine lines and wrinkles across the face. This purified, injectable relaxes the facial muscles that are responsible for causing wrinkles to produce impressive results without the need for cutting or tissue removal. Best of all, this procedure produces noticeable results in mere days and takes just minutes to complete. Moreover, given the few after-effects that these treatments entail, BOTOX® injections are short and simple enough to be completed on a person’s lunch break.
How BOTOX® Works
BOTOX® works by targeting muscle contraction; the primary cause of facial wrinkles. Frequent and repetitive muscle contractions such as those that are made by smiling, frowning or making other facial expressions, gradually cause the skin to loosen. This solution temporarily relaxes the muscles that it is injected into by blocking the messages sent from corresponding nerves. Once the muscles are immobilized and relaxed, the surface skin can take on a smooth and youthful appearance.
The Benefits Of BOTOX®
There are countless reasons why BOTOX® is one of the most highly preferred treatments for the common signs of aging. Foremost among these, however, is the fact that these procedures require absolutely no downtime. There is no cutting or tissue removal involved in a BOTOX® procedure and thus, there are few risks.
What to Expect
During a BOTOX procedure, the provider will assess the condition of your skin and the severity of your fine lines and wrinkles. A topical, numbing solution may be used to alleviate the discomfort of BOTOX® injections and to ensure optimal comfort throughout this procedure. BOTOX® will then be injected into several, targeted sites. After your treatment is complete, you must remain elevated or sitting up for a minimum of four hours. You must also avoid facials and massages for 24 hours following treatment. Otherwise, you can resume your normal activities.
Some patients may experience facial redness or moderate headaches after receiving BOTOX® injections, but these effects are generally moderate and normally abate on their own within just a few hours.
BOTOX® Results
The full measure of BOTOX® results will not be immediately apparent. However, some people may see noticeable changes in their appearances within a couple of hours after their treatments are performed. As the targeted muscles gradually attain a deeper state of relaxation, these results will be greatly enhanced. It typically takes about one to two weeks for BOTOX® to take full effect. BOTOX® treatments can least between four and six months and the procedure can be safely repeated several times per year.
