As time goes on and we age, our natural facial expressions are repeated again and again, causing natural lines and wrinkles to begin to form. You may get wrinkles and lines in your forehead, crow’s feet, or brow lines. One easy and fast solution to these lines and wrinkles is Botox. Botox is a completely safe treatment that can relax and reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles.
What Is Botox?
Botox contains miniscule amounts of highly purified botulinum toxin protein. Although Botox is a neurotoxin, it is completely safe to use. The injectable has been extensively studied and approved for use in over 80 countries. The amount of Botox you need to get your desired results will depend on several factors. We can discuss your options and determine the right number of units for your treatment when you come into our office for a consultation.
How Does Botox Work?
Botox is a neuromuscular blocker. It stops your muscles from moving temporarily. During the first two to three weeks after your treatment, your facial muscles will be completely relaxed at all times. After the first couple of weeks of relaxation, the natural folds and lines that result from repeated facial expressions will ease and melt away.
How Long Does It Last?
You will only have difficulty making facial expressions for about two to three weeks after your treatment. After that, your results will be quite evident and things will return to normal. Most people find that their results last about four months. At that time, you can schedule an appointment for a booster treatment.
