Botox Q & A
What is Botox?
Botox is a drug prepared from botulinum toxin that temporarily stops muscles from contracting. The cosmetic form of Botox is used to weaken and relax muscles, which significantly diminishes or eliminates fine lines and wrinkles.
The team uses a precise dose of the drug; just enough to achieve the desired result while maintaining your ability to make natural facial expressions. The Botox effect lasts about 3-4 months, so you may choose to have another treatment as time goes on.
How does Botox fight the effects of aging?
Different types of lines and wrinkles develop on your face as you get older. One type, called dynamic wrinkles, form as you use the muscles responsible for facial expressions.
These muscles are attached to skin so they can change your features to smile, frown, squint, scrunch your forehead, or make any of the numerous possible expressions.
As constant muscle motions are repeated, skin becomes creased. The crease is temporary at first, but it becomes permanent as aging skin loses strength and elasticity.
While other procedures designed to diminish signs of aging can improve these deep, muscle-caused wrinkles, they will reappear quickly as you continue to use the same muscles.
This means that Botox is the best way to improve the appearance of crow’s feet, frown lines, forehead furrows, and deep bands that form on the neck.
How will Botox help you achieve optimal results?
