Below, we break down everything you’ve ever wanted to know about Botox and how it can boost your confidence.
Botox is certainly not a new cosmetic treatment. In fact, the name has been synonymous with wrinkle reduction for decades. But there’s a reason Botox remains the most popular injectable for wrinkles: it works.
Botox is one of many neuromodulators designed to disrupt nerve signals. These medications prevent nerves from telling muscles to contract. When the muscle can’t move, the skin on top relaxes, causing it to smooth out. In this way, Botox treats existing wrinkles and stops new ones from developing at the injection site.
One reason Botox’s popularity has stood the test of time is its efficiency. It only takes a few minutes to inject Botox, and there’s almost no downtime after the procedure. Aside from some minor bruising and swelling at the injection site, you can typically resume your normal activities immediately after treatment.
Dynamic wrinkles are no match for Botox. These wrinkles are the direct result of repeated muscle movement, meaning they tend to deepen over time as you smile, frown, or squint. Botox works by relaxing those underlying muscles, helping to smooth out the lines and prevent them from becoming more pronounced.
Here are just a few wrinkles Botox can treat:
A single session takes about 20 minutes at Dr. Smith’s office, so you can treat several areas during your visit.
The beauty of Botox is that it’s temporary. Results typically last about 3-4 months. After the medication starts to wear down, you can choose to return for maintenance treatments or allow your muscles to regain movement at your injection site.
Some people choose to maintain their results every few months, while others may get Botox once or twice a year. Either way, Botox allows you to control your appearance without the permanency of surgery or long-term injectables like fillers or collagen stimulators.
