What To Know About Botox
When you hear Botox, know that this is just a brand name. This injection is a neurotoxin that you may have heard at some point in the past called botulinum toxin. This toxin is safe when used in minute, diluted quantities, such as through injections by certified professionals.
Botulinum, approved by the FDA for use in dermatology, is a popular and widely used anti-aging injection treatment. Aesthetic Dermatology in Media & Paoli, PA, explains that results may take ten to 14 days. The effect on wrinkles and fine lines is remarkable as it relaxes facial muscles in the forehead, around the eyebrows, and eyes.
Other uses include blepharospasm of the eyelids, for those with excess sweating and chronic migraines.
We tell you that you must have reasonable expectations when wanting to look younger and that this treatment does not erase every fine line and facial wrinkle. However, you will see a significant difference.
There is no specific age to start these injections on wrinkles and fine lines. Botulinum does not affect other facial muscles, which is important in defining your unique facial expressions. However, this toxin affects your facial muscle movement; most say it feels odd.
You need to be aware that it is best to avoid any OTC or prescription medications that tend to thin the blood, like NSAIDS, after your injections. It is advisable not to lie down for at least two to three hours after your injections. Our doctors can review all pre- and post-treatment instructions at your anti-aging consultation appointment.
We are here to give you quality skin health care and are sure you will be happy we connected. Whether you come to us for anti-aging injections to look a bit younger or have some other skin condition, you are in excellent hands with our experienced dermatology doctors.
