For years, Botox® has been trusted as one of the most popular and effective dermal fillers on the market. This solution, which contains botulinum toxin, is praised for its ability to take years off the face, without needing to go under the knife. So if you are wondering how Botox® fights aging, here is what you need to know:
Botox® Relaxes Facial Muscles
The short and sweet summary of how Botox® works is that it relaxes the dynamic facial muscles that contribute to the formation of lines and wrinkles. Through the process of relaxing these muscles, Botox® works to diminish the appearance of wrinkles and prevent new ones from developing. Containing botulinum toxin, Botox® is effective on a variety of facial aging concerns.
Botox® Benefits are Nearly Endless
Botox® is such a highly effective, versatile injectable, the question should not be what can Botox® do, but rather, what can’t it do? Of the many benefits of Botox®, we find its ability to smooth wrinkles, firm up the skin, create a more youthful appearance, treat migraines, address an overactive bladder and combat excessive underarm perspiration to be the most impressive. Additionally, since Botox® is injected in a simple, efficient treatment, there is no required downtime. You can get back to your daily routine just as soon as you leave our office.
Length of Results Will Vary
As with any procedure, the length of your Botox® results will vary, depending on the rate at which your body metabolizes the product. However, many patients can enjoy their Botox® results for four to six months before scheduling a maintenance procedure. This means that with just a few brief appointments a year, you can maintain your youthful, vibrant glow.
