Have you noticed fine lines, wrinkles, or facial creasing when you look in the mirror? All of these are natural signs of aging, and they can appear as early as your 30s. Most people try skincare products to combat these age-related concerns, but those aren’t always effective. A better solution to wrinkles and fine lines may be Botox injectables.
Premiere Aesthetics provides Botox injections for clients looking to resolve signs of aging like fine lines and wrinkles. This treatment can help reduce the appearance of your age-related changes and prevent further ones from developing. Learn more about how Botox works and find out whether you are a good candidate below.
Botox is a minimally invasive cosmetic treatment that aims to reduce fine lines and wrinkles while preventing more from forming. The main ingredient in Botox injections is a substance called botulinum toxin, which provides neuromodulation effects that can create a more youthful appearance.
When you’re younger, collagen and elastin can be found in abundance in your skin. These two components help your skin stay smooth and elastic, even with continuous facial expressions.
As you age, collagen and elastin production decreases. Your skin loses its elasticity and becomes more susceptible to changes with constant movement. This means that the natural facial expressions you make, like smiling or frowning, can lead to fine lines, wrinkling, and creases.
Neuromodulators work to reduce these signs of aging by limiting facial movement. When neurotoxins like botulinum toxin are injected into the skin, they temporarily subdue the nerves and muscles that control your expressions. This makes the skin smoother and tighter, with reduced wrinkles or fine lines.
Botox is a popular treatment because it can benefit a wide variety of people. Many clients who seek Botox injections are in their mid-30s and older. It’s typically in your 30s when age-related changes become more visible in the skin.
Younger clients can also seek Botox injectables as a preventative treatment. Botox’s neuromodulation effects can limit excessive facial movement and prevent wrinkles, creases, and fine lines from developing.
If you’re new to Botox treatment, it’s common to have questions and concerns about the procedure. The following are some of the most frequently asked questions about Botox injections.
Patients seeking Botox treatment for the first time will need to have a consultation with a cosmetic medicine provider. We need to assess your skin and evaluate the age-related changes you’re looking to resolve. This is simply to confirm that Botox is the right treatment for you.
Some patients may have aesthetic goals that can be resolved with other cosmetic treatments, such as dermal fillers or microneedling. If we find that another procedure better suits you, we will advise you on your alternative options during this consultation.
One of the biggest benefits of Botox is that there is no real preparation required. On the day of your Botox session, you will need to wash your face with a gentle cleanser. Withhold from applying anything to the skin. This includes makeup, serums, creams, or other skincare products. No further preparation is needed for your Botox treatment.
Botox is a simple outpatient procedure. This means you can receive treatment and return home immediately after your session is complete. During your session, you will be able to sit back comfortably in a reclined position while one of our providers administers your injections.
A topical anesthetic may be applied to your skin to provide optimal comfort. We will carefully administer Botox injections beneath the skin in your desired treatment areas. These injections are usually made in the forehead, eye area, or around the mouth.
Administering Botox injections is a relatively quick procedure. It only takes about 20 to 30 minutes to complete.
Botox injections begin producing results almost immediately. In the hours following your session, you will notice that your skin feels tighter and smoother. Wrinkles and fine lines should be reduced, and the movement of your skin will be more restricted. Over the next few days, these results will continue to develop.
Botox injections will not produce permanent results. The neuromodulation effects of Botox treatment can last anywhere from three to six months.
After a few months, you will notice movement gradually being restored to your skin. Existing wrinkles may begin to re-emerge. Once these effects have completely disappeared, you will be able to have Botox injections readministered.
While most clients who seek Botox treatment are in their 30s and older, Botox injectables are suitable for patients who are at least 21 years old. Those in their 20s can benefit from using Botox as a preventative measure to stop wrinkles and fine lines from developing.
If you have age-related changes like fine lines, wrinkles, and facial creasing, Botox treatment could be the right fit for you. Botox injectables work beneath the skin to resolve signs of aging and prevent more from developing.
