If you dream of taking years off your appearance, Botox® treatment is perfect for you. The effective cosmetic anti-aging procedure helps patients achieve a more youthful look by reducing the appearance of wrinkles.
Botox in Philadelphia can change your outlook on life by helping you achieve your aesthetic goals. Botox treatments can easily fit into your skincare routine and hectic, active lifestyle. Botox treatment is FDA-approved and non-invasive. It is a good alternative to risky anti-aging surgeries like facelifts.
As the skin begins to lose its elasticity and starts to sag naturally, wrinkles form due to repeated muscle contractions for many years. Botox treatments allow you to reduce the appearance of crow’s feet, forehead lines, and frown lines.You can combine Botox treatment with other procedures to accomplish your aesthetic goals and lifestyle needs.
What Is Botox?
Botox or Botulinum toxin is a purified protein derived from a neurotoxin. Injecting small amounts of botox into specific facial muscles blocks the communication between those muscles and the nerves. These muscles no longer contract while making facial movements such as smiling or frowning.
Botox relaxes the muscles responsible for contractions and stops these muscles from activating. Existing wrinkles relax and soften. New creases do not form due to the lack of activity in these muscles. Botox treatment doesn’t require any recovery time. Botox injections are painless, safe, and offer natural-looking results that enhance your appearance within a few weeks.
What To Expect During A Botox Treatment Procedure?
Botox is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures for women and men.
It is normal for patients to be nervous before their first Botox treatment. The Botox injection procedure requires a sense of artistry, an in-depth knowledge of the facial anatomy, and a skillful touch to achieve the desired outcome.
A very thin needle is used to inject small amounts of Botox into the targeted areas. The dosage and number of injections depend on the size of the targeted area, whether you had treatment before, the depth and extent of wrinkles, and other factors that the doctor will consider.
After their first procedure, most patients love their new look and decide to incorporate Botox into their regular beauty routine.
Common signs of ageing that Botox can treat include:
- Forehead lines
- Brow lines
- Crow’s feet
- Wrinkles around the eyes
- Lines around the mouth and lips
Botox is a minimally invasive procedure and requires no downtime. Most patients can tolerate the insignificant discomfort without any topical anaesthetic or numbing agent. Patients can drive home, go back to work, or continue with their daily lives immediately after treatment.
Botox treatment results become apparent in three to five days after the procedure.
Botox is affordable and one of the least expensive facial aesthetic procedures in the United States. Most patients can expect results to last about three to five months before requiring treatment again.
