What Is BOTOX?
BOTOX is the brand name of a diluted form of botulinum toxin, a type of neurotoxin. While that might sound intimidating, BOTOX is actually a very effective and low-risk way to address wrinkles. When it is strategically injected into the facial muscles, it limits their movements and forces them to relax. Therefore, the skin on top of those muscles takes on a much smoother appearance. Within 5 – 10 days of BOTOX injections, you should start to notice that you look younger.
Who Is a Good Candidate for BOTOX?
BOTOX might be suitable for you if:
- You are bothered by the appearance of movement-based wrinkles. BOTOX can help to reduce issues like crow’s feet, horizontal forehead lines, lines between the eyebrows, lines around the mouth, and more.
- You are in your late 20s or older. The minimum legal age for BOTOX is 18, but most people wait until their late 20s to start treatment.
- You do not have any contraindications for BOTOX. Individuals with certain allergies or medical conditions might not be good candidates. Our team will thoroughly screen you before approving you for treatment.
The Benefits of BOTOX
BOTOX offers several outstanding benefits:
- Fast and easy treatment. A BOTOX appointment usually takes less than an hour, and no downtime is required afterward.
- Natural-looking results. We are careful with injections so patients do not look overdone.
- Results that last for months. Many patients choose to return every 3 – 6 months for additional injections.
- Cost-effective treatment. BOTOX is an affordable choice for many patients who are not ready to spend thousands and thousands of dollars on invasive cosmetic procedures.
