Get Rid of Undesired Lines with Botox
Although people come up with all kinds of affectionate names – laugh lines, crow’s feet, smile lines – at the end of the day, they’re still unwanted wrinkles. Fortunately, we offer Botox in Livingston that can help both men and women reduce these common signs of aging without downtime.
Dynamic Wrinkles
Not all wrinkles are created equal. Some of them are caused by the action of your facial muscles. These are known as dynamic wrinkles. The more expressive and animated your expressions are, the deeper these wrinkles become.
Botox is a safe neurotoxin that can be injected at the site of these dynamic wrinkles, reducing the activity of the facial muscles that cause them, leading to noticeably smoother skin and a more youthful appearance.
How Botox Works
Botox is an injectable form of botulinum toxin, which is produced safely in a medical laboratory under controlled conditions. Your provider can inject Botox into target areas to minimize the movement of certain facial muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles, such as those commonly found on the forehead and between the eyebrows.
After injection with Botox, the nerve impulses from the brain to the treated muscles are blocked. As a result, no dynamic wrinkle will form in that location while Botox is active. Learn the answers to the common questions people ask about our Botox in Livingston below.
FAQs
Is Botox the same as fillers?
No. Botox and fillers contain different ingredients and work differently. Most fillers contain hyaluronic acid, which works by adding moisture to the skin to fill in lines and wrinkles. Botox reduces facial muscle movement in the targeted areas to eliminate dynamic wrinkles.
What areas can Botox help me with?
Dynamic wrinkles like forehead lines, frown lines, and crow’s feet are all helped by treatment with Botox. For static lines and wrinkles, dermal fillers are recommended.
How long will my Botox appointment take?
The answer depends upon the size of the treatment area. Generally, Botox injections take around 15 minutes to complete.
How long before I notice results?
Each person is unique, but most people notice results in anywhere from three to 14 days. At that time, you’ll begin noticing minimized lines and wrinkles at the injection sites.
Does Botox involve any downtime?
No. You can resume your normal daily activities immediately after your Botox injections.
Will my face look frozen after Botox injections?
Many people have concerns that Botox will freeze their facial expressions. The reality is that, in the hands of a skilled practitioner, Botox only affects the immediate area where it is injected. Botox should not travel systemically to other parts of the body.
How long will my Botox results last?
The answer varies by individual, but most people find that their Botox anti-wrinkle injections last anywhere from three to six months. To maintain your results at that time, you would need a follow-up Botox session.
