Many adults find themselves battling wrinkles and fine lines as they age. Facial skin rejuvenation is a rather general term that can mean abrasive resurfacing, nutrient infusion, chemical peeling, or plumping fillers. These treatment methods may help certain individuals reduce the visual signs of aging, particularly the appearance of smile lines, crow’s feet, and other forms of dynamic wrinkles. BOTOX® is considered a skin rejuvenation treatment. What it does is reduce the appearance of wrinkles by preventing facial muscles from fully contracting. This is a simple cosmetic treatment favored by millions of people because it doesn’t involve surgery or harsh skin resurfacing.
How BOTOX® Injections Work
BOTOX® uses a purified protein solution. In its diluted form, it acts as a nerve-relaxing agent. Properly injected just beneath the skin, the serum relaxes the facial muscles. Only those nerves that connect to the facial muscles are affected. The individual can still smile and frown, but the muscles stay relaxed, and the skin above them is no longer stretched. This keeps dynamic wrinkles such as smile lines from becoming visually noticeable.
During and After Treatment
Treatments can be done in the comfort of our office. BOTOX® injections take only 10 to 15 minutes. We will ask the client to make several different facial expressions so that we can see where the dynamic wrinkles form.
If you do not like the results you have received from treatments, there’s no need to fret. The solution is naturally eliminated from the body in a natural way after about six months. However, if you do like your results repeat injections on the six month mark will be needed.
Advantages of BOTOX® Treatments
This is a popular treatment for smile lines and crow’s feet because it doesn’t involve surgery or harsh abrasive procedures. With simple injections, the treatment can give your skin a more relaxed and wrinkle-free look. BOTOX® doesn’t treat the skin directly, so there’s no need to worry about skin discolorations or skin texture problems.
