What is Botox and how does it work?
Botox is an injectable neuromodulator, which means it works by affecting the communication between your muscles and nerves. This aesthetic treatment is made using a botulinum toxin to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles that begin to appear starting in your late 20s.
As you age, you start to lose skin elasticity and tone, but you keep making the same facial expressions, like squinting, frowning, and smiling. Over time, wrinkles and lines form where the skin moves over these areas of repeated muscle contractions.
Since it’s a neuromodulator, Botox blocks the signal from the injected nerve to the muscle that contracts when you make certain facial expressions, preventing the muscle from contracting as deeply. The result? Your skin smooths and looks younger as wrinkles and lines soften after treatment.
Other neuromodulators, like Dysport® and Xeomin®, work the same way. Keep in mind that to get the best results possible, you should only get these types of injections from qualified aesthetic professionals, like the team at Chrysolite Aesthetics.
With Botox and the help of Dr. Abu-Zeitoon and the team, you can look and feel your best this upcoming holiday season.
What are the benefits of choosing Botox?
We know that you have many choices when it comes to aesthetic products and services that claim to turn back the hands of time and minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. But only Botox remains the most popular cosmetic injectable year after year.
One of the reasons Botox is selected over and over is because of the amazing benefits this injectable offers. Here’s a look at five of the most popular benefits you’ll enjoy with Botox:
1. Injections take only minutes but the results last
If you have 15-20 minutes, you have time to get started with Botox. But the results you get from Botox last for up to four months, making this treatment an effective way to look and feel your best this holiday season.
2. No post-treatment downtime required
One of the best benefits of Botox is that there’s no downtime required. You can get your treatment and get back to your normal activities immediately. There are also very few side effects, which include injection-site bruising, redness, or swelling, which can be avoided or minimized by following your provider’s pre- and post-Botox instructions.
3. Botox is safe, effective, and FDA approved
When you get Botox from experienced aesthetic providers, like the team at Chrysolite Aesthetics, studies show Botox injections are safe and effective. What’s more? This neuromodulator has been FDA-approved for use for many years.
4. You’ll get results you love
There’s a reason Botox is the most popular injectable: the results! With Botox, you’ll love the smooth, youthful appearance it brings. Just remember that the results from Botox are technique sensitive, so always go to an experienced aesthetic professional for treatment.
5. Botox can help stop deeper wrinkles from forming
Thanks to medical research, we know that Botox can prevent deeper lines and wrinkles from forming. When you get regular injections as wrinkles and lines start appearing, you can stop these signs of aging from progressing.
