Do you have wrinkles, fine lines, or creases around your eyes and mouth? These are common areas around the face where age-related changes occur. While signs of aging are natural and normal, many people wish to resolve them quickly.
Countless topical products claim to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, but few of them make a noticeable difference. One of the most effective ways to reduce age-related changes and prevent further ones from developing is Botox treatment.
Botox injections work beneath your skin’s surface to combat wrinkles and creasing at the source. Vanitas Medical Group in Orlando, FL, provides Botox wrinkle treatment for clients looking to achieve a more youthful complexion. Read on to find out why Botox is so effective for reducing signs of aging.
The Cause of Fine Lines and Wrinkles
While you may accept that fine lines and wrinkles are to be expected with age, you may not know exactly why they develop. Wrinkles and creasing in the skin are not just a simple part of the aging process that pop up overnight. Instead, they develop gradually over time due to two different factors.
As you age, collagen and elastin decrease within the layers of your skin. These two components help your skin maintain elasticity and smoothness throughout the years. When they decrease, your skin becomes much looser and more prone to creasing or wrinkling.
Cosmetic neuromodulator injectables like Botox contain a neurotoxin called botulinum toxin A. When administered in various areas of the face, Botox temporarily paralyzes the nerves and muscles, limiting the skin’s ability to move during facial expressions. This also causes the skin to appear very smooth and tight.
The overall result is a reduction in wrinkles and fine lines as more are prevented from developing.
Who Are Botox Injections Best for?
Botox injections are designed for those struggling with age-related changes or those looking to prevent them. If you already have fine lines, creases, and wrinkles, Botox can reduce their appearance and create smoother skin.
Younger clients who are concerned about wrinkle formation can seek Botox as a preventive method. When you receive Botox injections in your mid to late 20s, it will subdue your facial movement and help prevent wrinkles from developing.
If you are wondering whether Botox is right for you, seeking a consultation with us can help. We will examine your skin and assess any age-related changes to confirm that Botox is the best course of treatment.
What Is Botox Treatment Like?
Botox wrinkle treatment is a simple procedure. The client is able to sit back and relax while we administer their injections. We use a marker to mark the areas around the face where injections will be administered. We then carefully place the injections in these designated spots. This entire process takes only 20 to 30 minutes to complete.
How Quickly Does Botox Start Working?
Your skin will gradually become tighter and smoother in the days following treatment. Final results will be noticable 7 to 10 days after injections are administered.
What Should I Avoid After Botox Injections?
One of the reasons that clients enjoy Botox is because there is no downtime afterward. You don’t need to avoid anything after your treatment, and you are free to resume your normal activities.
Will My Botox Treatment Be Permanent?
Botox injections are not permanent. The effects of your Botox injections will last about three to four months after your session. Over time, the neurotoxin effects of the injectables will begin to wear off. Movement will gradually return to your skin, and you will see your wrinkles and fine lines return.
Once this happens, you can have your Botox treatment repeated.
