Minimally-invasive cosmetic procedures continue to grow in popularity, with anti-aging treatments – injectables, such as Botox® leading the way. Both men and women of all ages are fueling that surge. People can’t get enough of Botox® injections to target fine lines, wrinkles, and so much more. Botox® injections are one of our specialties here at Body Rx Medspa.
Botox® is the brand name for a cosmetic injectable made from Botulinum toxin A that temporarily reduces or eliminates facial fine lines and wrinkles.
Botox® works by blocking nerve impulses. The most commonly treated areas are frown lines, forehead creases, and crow’s feet (lines on the outside corners of the eyes). It can also be used to target lip lines, as well as for the chin (skin dimpling), the corner of the mouth (lifts the corners of the mouth), and the neck (diminish necklines). It can also be used to soften a square jawline and to correct a so-called gummy smile.
Botox® injections for cosmetic reasons are highly effective. They are considered both safe and effective for helping to smooth facial lines.
For starters, the patient has to be over the age of 18 and should be in overall good health. However, it may not be the best option for pregnant, breastfeeding, or having a history of neuromuscular diseases. We can discuss your medical history when you come in for a consultation.
Besides cosmetics reasons, Botox® is also used to help with some medical conditions, including:
Excessive Sweating
Migraines
Muscular Disorders
Overactive Bladder
The length of time that Botox® lasts varies from person to person. But the effects of Botox®, Dysport, and Xeomin typically last 3 to 6 months. Many patients extend their results by regularly undergoing maintenance treatments. You will need fewer treatments over time to get the same effect.
