What Is BOTOX® And How Does it Work?
BOTOX® is FDA approved to temporarily reduce the appearance of moderate to severe crow’s feet (wrinkles around the eyes), frown lines, and forehead lines. BOTOX® is a drug made from a neurotoxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. The toxin produced is called botulinum, and when used correctly by a medical professional, it can have both cosmetic and medical benefits. It comes in a powder form, and your doctor dilutes it with saline to make it an injectable. The botulinum toxin, once injected, kicks into action by blocking nerve transmission in nearby muscles, effectively freezing the area. The injected muscle can no longer contract, causing the wrinkles and fine lines to soften while preventing new ones from forming. BOTOX® stays only where it is injected, so no need to worry about the effects showing up in other areas of your body.
Adding BOTOX® To Your Beauty Routine
BOTOX® injections are safe, minimally invasive, and quick, so it is easy to integrate into your beauty routine. You can easily come in for an appointment during your lunch break and head back to work without discomfort or requiring any downtime. The effects of this cosmetic treatment will last 3-4 months, at which time you visit your dermatologist for another quick fifteen-minute appointment to receive more injections.
To maintain the youthful glow provided by BOTOX® injections, it is highly recommended that you take extra precautions to incorporate a skincare regime that protects your skin from environmental factors such as the sun and pollution. To ensure your BOTOX® results are long-lasting and to maintain optimal results, here are some tips to incorporate into your beauty routine:
