If there’s one non-invasive treatment that has consistently topped the list of preferred wrinkle reduction treatments around the world, it’s Botox. Botox treatments are simple and straightforward, and can be done in as little as ten minutes; but more importantly, they’re effective. BOTOX® Cosmetic is a popular brand made by Allergan. It has the FDA seal of approval so you know it’s safe and effective for its intended use, which is to reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles and fine lines. Also because Botox has been used for over thirty years it has a long track history of being safe and effective.
Botox treatments for dynamic lines
First-time patients should know that Botox treatments do not address every line and wrinkle on the face. BOTOX® Cosmetic and other Botox brands for cosmetic use are designed for dynamic line and wrinkles only, which are the lines and wrinkles that appear on the face every time you laugh, frown, smile, or do other facial expressions. These appear as a result of muscle contraction when these facial expressions are made.
Botox is administered by injecting the solution onto the target areas. Once the medication has taken effect, the muscles underneath the target areas will be temporarily softened thus preventing them from contracting, which will in turn prevent the wrinkles and fine lines from appearing.
BOTOX® Cosmetic and other Botox brands primarily target forehead lines, lines between the eyebrows, and the lines around the eyes (crow’s feet). It can also be used to lift the eyebrows, soften the smoker’s lines in the upper lip area, lessen the “gummy smile,” and decrease neck bands.
When results will appear vary from one individual to the next, depending on their reaction to the treatment. Typically, patients begin to notice an improvement between Day 3 and Day 5 after treatment. Optimal results are usually achieved about one to two weeks following your treatment. Again, the exact timeframe for when results will become visible depend on the body’s reaction to Botox.
Subtle yet noticeable changes
Once optimal results are achieved, people will start to notice that there’s something different about you. You somehow look more youthful, and you have this radiant glow about you, but they can’t exactly tell why. This is the subtle yet noticeable change that Botox treatments provide patients. You’ll have that certain glow without looking like you’ve had a cosmetic procedure done.
