The Benefits of Botox®
Imagine waking up up each morning to a refreshed, youthful reflection that matches how you feel inside. That’s the magic of Botox ®. People love how it makes them feel and the boost to their self-confidence.
Botox® is a non-surgical treatment that smoothes and rejuvenates the appearance of the skin. Using a very fine needle, a trained dermatology professional injects these naturally occurring neurotoxins just beneath the surface of the skin. Botox® acts locally at the neuromuscular junction to block the release of acetylcholine, the neurotransmitter that carries the signal from the nerve ending to the muscle. Without this, the muscle cannot receive the signal to tighten so it remains relaxed. By training the muscles to be more relaxed, continued treatment with Botox® can prevent the formation of future wrinkles.
Get Rid of Wrinkles Fast!
Over time, the repeated contraction of facial muscles causes expression lines to form. You may be experiencing one of the following common types of wrinkling:
- Glabellar lines: Frown Lines located in between your eyebrows (11s)
- Horizontal wrinkles on the forehead
- Crow’s feet: wrinkles on the corners of your eyes
Botox® injections are a great option if you are looking to eradicate these wrinkles on your face. These injections take only a few minutes to administer and are tolerated well by patients. There is virtually no recovery time, and results are immediate and last for three to fourth months. The cosmetic injections contain onabotulinumtoxinA, which has the ability to temporarily prevent muscles at the injection site from moving. Training these facial muscles to be more relaxed, reduces not only the appearance of current wrinkles but also the formation of new wrinkles.

The Right Age to Get Cosmetic Treatment
As we age, there’s no way to completely prevent wrinkles. For that reason, most dermatologists suggest that people consider getting botulinum type A injections in their 30s. Along with reducing existing wrinkles, it can prevent new ones from forming.
However, you need to consider other factors as well. For example, do your wrinkles bother you? If not, this treatment isn’t for you. Also, do you have the finances to continue receiving treatment? To reduce the formation of new wrinkles you will have to get injections every three to four months. As a result, you’ll need treatment between three to four times a year.
