If you want to instantly get rid of fine lines and wrinkles, Botox may provide an effective treatment.
Botox is an injectable substance that often used to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It comes from Botulinum toxin, a neurotoxin created by a bacterium found naturally in many environments.
The toxin itself is very poisonous. However, using an incredibly small dose helps to relax or paralyze nerves and muscles. The neurotoxins block nerve signals used to make muscles contract.
By targeting specific muscles in the face and neck, we can noticeably reduce the signs of aging.
The entire process does not take long. Getting a Botox injection takes a few minutes. However, it may take 7 to 14 days before you notice the full effects of the treatment.
Cosmetic Botox injections are considered safe and effective for minimizing wrinkles. The effects are temporary, allowing nerves and muscles to resume working as normal.
Botox treatments are non-surgical. They involve injections directly into the neuromuscular tissue. Within several days, you should start to notice the gradual reduction of fine lines.
The injections are well tolerated by most patients. However, a small number of patients may experience minor side effects. These potential issues include temporary numbness, nausea, and headaches.
You may also notice the relaxing of muscles near the injection site. The side effects are rare and typically short-lived.
To help reduce the risk of some of these side effects, we advise patients to avoid rubbing or massaging the treated parts of the face and neck for at least 24 hours.
While results vary, the effects typically last four to six months. Many factors influence the efficacy of the treatment, including:
Those who use Botox regularly may notice that the effects last longer with each treatment. As Botox paralyses facial muscles, the muscles get shorter. Over time, you may not need as many Botox treatments to get the same results.
In fact, recent studies suggest that Botox treatments may increase the elasticity of your skin. This provides long-lasting benefits for combating the signs of aging. After the neurotoxin wears off, existing fine lines may not return to their previous state.
