The Beauty of Botox
Botox is one of the most popular FDA-approved nonsurgical cosmetic treatments in the United States. It works by reducing the activity of the muscles that cause forehead wrinkles, crow’s feet, frown lines, and the horizontal lines between eyebrows, often called “Elevens.” When you smile, frown, look puzzled or angry, the muscles under your skin contract, creating grooves that fold the skin.
Botox is a liquid treatment that contains a neurotoxin produced by Clostridium botulinum. Once injected in small amounts , it diminishes muscle movement or blocks nerve signals thereby reducing, and in some cases, eliminating the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The result is a more youthful appearance.
What Does Botox® Treat?
Botox can be used to treat and correct a variety of beauty concerns, including:
- Vertical lines between the brows
- Horizontal forehead wrinkles
- Droopy eyebrows
- Frown lines
- Neck wrinkles
- Pebbled chin
- Down-turned mouth
- Bunny lines on the nose
- Crow’s feet
- Undefined jawline
- Wrinkles around the mouth
How Does Botox Work?
Once injected, Botox relaxes the muscles that cause wrinkles and fine lines by blocking the nerve signals that otherwise result in contraction. Muscles and nerves are not damaged as wrinkles appear lighter and skin smoother.
The effected facial muscles start to relax a few days after the injection, and wrinkles will begin to “vanish” after about seven days.
When Will I See Results?
In general, patients can expect to see results as early as 3 to 4 days after being injected. However, it typically takes 10 to 14 days for the full effects of a Botox treatment to take hold.
While the results of Botox injectable treatments will vary by patient, the area treated, dosage, and injection frequency, patients can expect each treatment to last about 3 – 4 months. As such, TruZen Med Spa recommends quarterly follow-up Botox treatments to maintain your desired results.
