Botox has come into the world and reshaped how many people approach facial rejuvenation. Over time, we have “frowned” ourselves into a place of no return, and Botox is the only way out.
For many of us, it is a step we want to take. We’ve seen results from our friends and colleagues, but that nagging question remains…”Is it right for me? For many prospective patients, Botox confidence comes from knowing all the facts about the treatment. Let’s get the “wrinkle-free” lowdown on Botox and then you can decide if this injectable is the right choice for you.
How Does Botox Work?
Wrinkles on the skin are a direct result of repeated facial muscle movement, like frowning, squinting, or smiling. When Botox is used, the muscles are prevented from contracting. When these muscles are less active, the overlying skin has a chance to smooth and the wrinkles are softened or eliminated.
With regularly scheduled Botox injections, many patients notice that their lines become less pronounced. This happens because the muscles aren’t contracting as strongly or frequently as before.
Botox can improve the appearance of your expression lines, but it doesn’t address skin laxity or volume loss. If you’re concerned about sagging or other signs of aging, other treatments like a facelift may be what you’re looking for.
