What is Botox®?
In the United States, Botox® is the number one selling non-invasive cosmetic enhancement treatment, with over 7 million Americans receiving Botox® or similar injectables every year. The main ingredient in Botox® is OnabotulinumtoxinA, more commonly referred to as botulinum toxin type A. It is a popular aesthetic treatment for men and women of various ages who are looking to benefit from its anti-aging properties.
How Does Botox® Work?
The neurotoxin in Botox® is a carefully diluted strain that works to targets the muscles and neurological systems in the injected site. Rather than treating the skin, like dermal fillers, Botox® works to relax the muscles and temporarily freeze them to soften wrinkles and prevent them from forming deeper. When performed by an expertly trained aesthetic medical professional, Botox® can leave you looking refreshed and youthful, without a “frozen” or “stuck” look.
What Are the Benefits of Botox® Injections?
Botox® injections offer patients powerful benefits. When administered correctly by a licensed professional, there is little to no side-effects or risk involved. Typically, Botox® is injected into areas that are displaying wrinkles, fine lines, or deep furrows in the skin. Many patients also opt for smaller Botox® injections to help smooth over fine lines and prevent deeper wrinkles from forming later in life. The revolutionary effects of Botox® can help patients reverse visible signs of aging, sun damage, and lost volume in the skin.
What is Baby Botox®?
The amount of Botox® needed for correction in a certain area is measured in units. This determines how much product is needed to help achieve the desired result. Typically, this can range anywhere from 20 - 40 units and can be administered in various areas of the face. Baby Botox®, however, is an increasingly popular form of treatment that allows patients to receive a smaller amount of Botox® either as a preventative method or to help maintain their natural look with subtle enhancement. Baby Botox® is an excellent option for first-time patients, and typically uses anywhere from 5 - 20 units to tighten the skin and temporarily provide a smoother, blemish-free result.
Who is a Good Candidate for Botox®?
Botox® is an excellent solution for patients who want to find a minimally-invasive way to temporarily correct or reduce unwanted facial blemishes like wrinkles, fine lines, lost elasticity, or sagging skin. It can help to prevent or reverse the natural signs of aging that are visible in our face. Botox® is also FDA proved to treat certain medical conditions. If you suffer from any of the following, you may be a good candidate for Botox® treatments:
● Crow’s feet
● Marionette lines
● Glandular lines
● Forehead furrows
● Bunny lines
● Lipstick lines
ThE Botox® Process
Botox® is sometimes nicknamed the “Lunchtime Treatment” because it is a fast and virtually pain-free procedure that can be completed in as little as 30 minutes. During your consultation, you will be able to discuss your areas of concern, and our aesthetician will examine your skin to determine the best approach. You will also discuss the type of result you would like, whether you are hoping for dramatic results or a more conservative approach.
Your treatment is performed in-house at our luxurious medical aesthetic facility and will be administered using an ultra-thin needle that will inject the Botox® solution directly below the skin. Once the procedure is completed, you will be asked to avoid bending, lifting, or exercise for at least four hours following treatment. There is no recovery or downtime necessary, however, and you can return to your regular schedule immediately after leaving our facility.
