Injections of botulinum toxin block certain nerve signals that control muscle contraction. Unwanted wrinkles are reduced as the muscles relax. There is a three- to six-month duration to this effect. Afterward, the muscles begin to move again, which causes wrinkles to appear.

An anesthetic cream may be applied to the area prior to botulinum toxin injections to make it numb. An injection of medicine will then be administered into specific facial muscles. Only a few minutes are needed for this minimally invasive procedure, and it can be completed right in the office as an outpatient procedure. Consult your practitioner about what activities should be avoided after the treatment.

After your first week of treatment, you should notice that your muscles begin to relax and that your facial lines and wrinkles are less prominent. The effect lasts for about three to six months. It is recommended that you retreat at this time. It is possible, however, for your muscles to train themselves to contract less and less over time. This allows longer intervals between treatments. Depending on your unique needs, your healthcare provider can recommend how often you should get Botox.

The goal of every treatment at Keep Glowing Medical Spa is to give you the subtle look you desire without altering your appearance or paralyzing any of your muscles.

There are several brands of botulinum toxin injections, but Botox is the most widely known. As neurotoxins, botulinum toxins cause the weakening of muscles and affect the nerves. There are medical and cosmetic reasons to get botulinum toxin injections. The injection of Botox into specific muscles smoothes wrinkles, prevents migraine headaches, and treats a range of other health conditions.

Botox is most commonly used to either reduce the appearance of existing wrinkles or as a preventative measure to maintain a youthful appearance. There are primarily two main types of wrinkles, these are called static and dynamic wrinkles, Botox is most effective for treating the latter.

Face wrinkles caused by muscle movement, such as smiling, laughing, concentrating, squinting, etc., are called dynamic wrinkles. Crow’s feet, forehead lines, and frown lines between the eyebrows are some of the most common dynamic wrinkles. This neuromodulator contains botulinum toxin, which temporarily paralyzes muscles. As a result, it reduces the appearance of dynamic wrinkles by blocking nerve signals to the targeted muscles.

You can achieve a more youthful appearance, without surgery, with Botox, a safe, fast, and effective treatment for wrinkles and creases on your face. In most cases, Botox is used to reduce the appearance of lines around the eyes and on the forehead.
