Why Botox?

Because we all want to look as young as we feel. While there is nothing wrong with wearing our wrinkles with pride, there are many ways to reduce their appearance. This is especially good to know whenever wrinkles and age marks start to negatively affect the way we feel about ourselves.

For all your crow’s feet, smile lines, creased foreheads and other age markers, there are tried and widely used methods of reducing their appearance. Chief among these is botox and other botox-related solutions.

What Exactly Is Botox?

The word botox is probably not new to you. It is a solution injected into your face that works to relax your facial muscles and lower the appearance of wrinkles.

Botox contains a neurotoxin that blocks the signals your nerves send to your face. Its use renders your muscles incapable of contracting and forming wrinkles. The results leave your face looking much smoother and younger for months after the treatment.

What having Botox involves

The process is very straightforward and can be pleasant as well, even for those who have a bad relationship with needles. Botox’ing will first see your face being cleaned before botox solution is injected into your facial muscles. This is done using a very fine needle.

You’ll probably need to have injections in a number of different places around your face. This, of course, depends on the area of the face being treated. The specialist treating you may also ask for you to pull faces or move certain facial muscles. This will help your specialist find the best places for the botox to be inserted.

Better yet, the whole process rarely takes more than 15 minutes to complete.

Where can Botox be applied?

Interestingly, Botox isn’t just for the face, but it’s mostly used for facial treatments. If you’re wondering which area of the face you can treat with botox, we’ve compiled a helpful list. The details below will help you decide if your face wrinkles and marks can be treated.

Botox is most often used to target the primary wrinkles in the face. These include:

• The area around the outer corners of your eyes, better known as crows’ feet.
• The lines the form around the outer corners of your mouth, better known as smile lines
• The between your eyebrows and the creases that form on your forehead. These are commonly referred to as frown lines?

Can you undergo Botox treatment?

As a general understanding, botox is safe to use by anyone between the ages of 18 and 65.  For our Marina Del Rey visitors, we prefer that those who plan to undergo botox be in good overall health. You should definitely consider Botox if you’ve tried other skincare products without much success.

That being said, there are certain groups of people that should avoid Botox treatment. These are:

• Pregnant women
• Women who are currently breastfeeding
• Those who are allergic to proteins
• Those who are diagnosed with skin allergies or conditions that render their skin easily irritated.

How Long Does Botox Last?

A Botox session at our clinic rarely takes more than 30 minutes. The effects of the treatment, however, can last several months. The true effects of the treatment can be seen after a week of the treatment.

This is only a general time frame. Some people with stronger facial muscles may only enjoy the results of botox for just 3 to 4 months. Thereafter the wrinkles start to show themselves again as the muscles start to overcome the injected neurotoxins.

While this may seem like a drawback, it is actually the best thing about opting for our botox treatment. Botox is a non-surgical and non-permanent solution to looking just as young as you feel inside.
