Everyday facial expressions such as smiling and frowning are a natural part of life, but they can strain an aging face. Over time, repeated facial movements create lasting lines known as dynamic wrinkles. These include frown lines and crow’s feet. Botox®, the #1 most popular non-invasive cosmetic treatment in the world, is the most effective injectable treatment to temporarily improve the appearance of these unwanted wrinkles.
Botox® is a brand name for botulinum toxin, a protein derived from Clostridium botulinum. There are several brands of this neurotoxin, but Botox® is the most popular botulinum toxin injection and has been safely used for decades. This product has many medical uses as well as cosmetic ones. It works by blocking signals between the nerves and facial muscles. The signal to contract and wrinkle no longer reaches the muscle, preventing repetitive facial movements and keeping the skin smooth.
With real, noticeable results that require no surgery or downtime, there are many reasons why Botox® Cosmetic remains the top brand for patients seeking to smooth eye and forehead wrinkles. The injections work by temporarily blocking signals from the nerves to the muscles, which works to prevent and reduce facial expressions that cause wrinkles and fine lines. It also prevents new lines from forming, and small amounts are often used preventatively by younger patients.
One of the benefits of Botox® is the simple, convenient treatment. The injections often take just 10-15 minutes, with little to no discomfort and no downtime. One of our aesthetic experts at Albuquerque Vein & Laser Institute will make several small injections to strategically relax facial muscles that cause wrinkling.
We offer a complimentary Botox® consultation so that you can discuss your problem areas and ensure that Botox® is the right option for your needs. This treatment is perfect for men and women of all skin types seeking to improve the appearance of dynamic facial wrinkles and fine lines in the following areas:
Almost anyone seeking a convenient wrinkle treatment is an ideal candidate for Botox®. However, it may not be suitable for patients with certain medical conditions, an active skin condition, or who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Botox® doesn’t require any downtime. You may experience some soreness or redness at the injection sites, but this goes away quickly. After your appointment, you can go back to normal activities without discomfort. Any redness or swelling should fade within a couple of days. We may advise you against strenuous exercise during this time, and you will need to avoid touching the treatment area for a few hours after your injections.
Following treatment, the most common side effects include redness, slight bruising, or swelling around the treatment areas. After your injections, we recommend that you avoid exercising or lying flat for four hours after treatment.
Patients will begin to notice improvements slowly over the course of a few days as the neurotoxin takes effect. As repetitive muscle movements decrease, your skin will smooth out. These results will continue to maximize over the next two weeks. Botox® typically lasts three to four months. Some patients enjoy longer-lasting results with repeated Botox® injections, and we typically recommend maintenance treatments every few months to keep your skin smooth and wrinkle-free. You can also have your Botox® injections paired with dermal fillers for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
