Botox® Cosmetic
What is Botox® Cosmetic? Botox® Cosmetic is a prescription medicine that is injected into muscles to temporarily improve the look of moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines in adults. It works by blocking nerve signals in the muscles where it is injected, reducing muscle activity and smoothing the overlying skin.
Benefits of Botox® Cosmetic:
Smooth Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Botox® effectively reduces the appearance of frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead wrinkles, giving your face a smoother, more youthful look.
Quick and Minimally Invasive: The procedure is quick, often taking just 10-15 minutes, and involves minimal discomfort with no downtime.
Preventative Aging: Regular Botox® treatments can prevent the deepening of lines and wrinkles over time, helping you maintain a youthful appearance longer.
Natural-Looking Results: When administered by a trained professional, Botox® offers subtle, natural-looking results that enhance your features without looking overdone.
What Can Botox® Cosmetic Do?
Frown Lines: Botox® softens the vertical lines between the eyebrows, also known as “11 lines,” for a more relaxed and approachable expression.
Crow’s Feet: It smooths the fine lines around the eyes, commonly known as crow’s feet, which develop due to squinting and smiling.
Forehead Lines: Botox® reduces the horizontal lines that appear on the forehead, creating a smoother appearance.
Brow Lift: Botox® can subtly lift the eyebrows, providing a more open and youthful look to the eyes.
Gummy Smile Correction: Botox® can reduce the appearance of a gummy smile by relaxing the upper lip.
Jawline Slimming: By relaxing the masseter muscles, Botox® can help to slim the appearance of the jawline, giving the face a more contoured shape.
Masseter Muscle Relaxation (Teeth Clenching/Bruxism): Botox® can be used to treat bruxism (teeth clenching and grinding) by relaxing the masseter muscles, which helps to relieve tension and prevent jaw discomfort.
Neck Bands: Botox® can smooth the appearance of vertical neck bands, giving the neck a more youthful look.
Lip Flip: A small amount of Botox® can be injected into the upper lip to create the appearance of a fuller lip without the need for fillers.
Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis): Botox® is also used to treat excessive sweating in areas like the underarms, hands, and feet by blocking the nerve signals responsible for sweat production.
What to Expect During Your Treatment:
Consultation: Your practitioner will discuss your aesthetic goals and determine the appropriate areas for Botox® injections.
Procedure: The injections take only a few minutes and involve minimal discomfort, often described as a slight pinch.
Results: You’ll begin to see results within a few days, with full effects visible in about two weeks. The results typically last 3-4 months.
Before and After Care:
Before: Avoid alcohol and certain medications like blood thinners before your appointment to reduce the risk of bruising.
After: Avoid massaging the treated areas, and refrain from strenuous exercise for 24 hours.
