Botox treatments naturally soften facial lines caused by repetitive expressions. Opting for a conservative approach ensures you’ll appear more youthful and at ease, a transformation appreciated by others without revealing the secret behind your rejuvenation.

Botox vs Fillers

Unlike getting fillers in areas where aging leads to diminished volume of skin, fat, and bone structures, Botox specifically addresses facial wrinkles resulting from active muscle movement. As we grow older, reduced skin elasticity permits recurring muscle contractions to form noticeable lines on the skin’s surface. By diminishing muscle activity, Botox obstructs the emergence of these lines, and often, it even has the potential to alleviate pre-existing wrinkles.

Best Uses of Botox

Some of the best uses of Botox include a carefree smile without the concern of accentuating crow’s feet and retraining the muscles of the forehead and the areas between the brows, allowing them to appear more relaxed and less tense. Botox is also used for lip lines, to flip up the top lip, to improve gummy smiles, on chin dimples, bunny lines, corner of the mouth and neck lines.

For optimal results, Botox is the most effective in the prevention of wrinkles but also can help with wrinkles that appear at rest. Deeper wrinkles that become noticeable even at rest, may need more than one treatment to improve their appearance.

What Are the Risks of Using Botox?

Cosmetic Botox has an exceptional safety record. It’s important to note that Botox treatments are not recommended during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. They are also not recommended for individuals with neuromuscular disorders or those with a first-degree relative who has such a disorder. Receiving Botox while sick is discouraged. If you are on blood thinners or NSAIDs, discuss with your provider options to minimize bruising.

How Long Does Botox Last?

Botox treatments typically maintain their effects for around 4-6 months in muscles with greater mass, such as those found between the brows and on the chin. In contrast, Botox gradually diminishes within 2-4 months in slimmer or more active muscles, like those around the eyes and forehead.

Brands of Botox

Since the launch of Cosmetic Botox, there are many other brands of Botulinum Toxin Type A that are FDA approved for cosmetic use including Dysport, Xeomin, Jeuveau, and Daxxify. All have slightly different formulations and actions of effect.
