What is BOTOX®?

Wrinkles and fine lines can form on your face over the years as a result of the unconscious movements of certain muscles. BOTOX® is meant to help put a stop to these movements, thus resulting in smoother-looking skin.

How does BOTOX® work? It makes use of botulinum toxin, which has properties that can prevent the nerves from sending signals to the muscles. This results in less of the muscle activity that contributes to wrinkles. It can take a few days for the effects of BOTOX® to kick in, and the results can generally last a few months before the treatment needs to be redone.

Who is a Good Candidate for BOTOX®?

BOTOX® tends to work best on dynamic wrinkles – that is, wrinkles that are the direct result of muscle movement. Some common examples of wrinkles and fine lines that can be addressed with BOTOX® include:

  • Wrinkles around the eyes, commonly known as crow’s feet.
  • Wrinkles on the forehead or lines between the eyebrows.
  • Smoker’s lines, which are vertical lines that form around the mouth.

You may not be able to tell just by looking whether BOTOX® is a viable option for dealing with your specific kinds of wrinkles. Additionally, you may not be eligible for BOTOX® if you’re pregnant or have deep scars on your face. As such, the first step of the BOTOX® process is to pay our office a visit; we can figure out whether the treatment is right for you by taking a close look at your face and considering your unique circumstances.
