Facial lines and wrinkles can be caused by frowning, smiling, squinting, and excess sunlight exposure or are otherwise an inevitable effect of aging. Relieve the stress and relax your wrinkles with Botox for a younger-looking, refreshed complexion.
About Botox
Botulinum toxin type A, also known as Botox, is an injectable formula that blocks nerve signals to the muscles at the injection site. In the hands of a capable plastic surgeon, it can be used to smooth facial wrinkles as well as address other medical concerns.
Botox treatments are commonly used to eliminate the look of crow’s feet, frown lines, forehead lines, and furrowed brows that appear when making certain facial expressions. These are known as dynamic wrinkles, which are different from lines that are always present when your face is at rest.
Am I a Good Candidate for Botox Treatment?
Most generally healthy adults are eligible and good candidates for Botox injections whether they have severe concerns or more moderate ones at a younger age. Botox may even be helpful in preventing the inevitable appearance of more severe frown lines and crow’s feet when used preemptively, but it is also effective when these have already appeared. You must be over 22 and a non-smoker for Botox injections.
How are Botox Injections Performed?
Prior to any Botox Cosmetic treatment, Dr. Basile will first perform a thorough evaluation of your medical history, skin health, and concerns before deciding whether Botox is right for you.
For the procedure itself, Dr. Basile will carefully select the injection spots based on your target areas. In less than fifteen minutes, the botulinum toxin formula will be injected with a small needle, weakening the muscles that are causing your fine lines and wrinkles.
Results and Recovery After Botox
Smoothed wrinkles can be seen within a few days of your initial treatment, but may take up to one week. The longevity of your results may vary, but most patients’ injections last between three and four months. Some patients may experience some bruising, swelling, minor discomfort, temporary facial drooping, headache, or nausea.
