The unwanted signs of aging, including fine lines and wrinkles, begin to start on the face for most patients around the age of 30. At this point, most men and women gradually lose their natural collagen and elastin stores, causing skin laxity and the formation of imperfections on the skin associated with the natural aging process. Fortunately, you do not have to let fine lines and wrinkles win! Instead, our team at the L.A.B. med spa in Southlake, Texas, provides solutions to turn back time and slow the process: Botox Cosmetic injections.
Botox Cosmetic is a popular and effective aesthetic injectable treatment that can improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on the face. It is formulated from a purified form of botulinum toxin and works by temporarily relaxing the muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles–the wrinkles caused by repeated facial movements and muscle tension. This allows the skin to smooth out and gives a more youthful appearance.
When injected into specific areas of the face, Botox Cosmetic blocks nerve signals that cause muscle contractions. Without these contractions, the overlying skin stays smooth instead of creasing, preventing new wrinkles from forming and reducing the appearance of existing ones. The effects typically last for three months or longer, depending on how the body metabolizes the toxin.
The Botox Cosmetic injectable is most commonly used to treat fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes (crow’s feet), on the forehead, and between the eyebrows (commonly known as “11” lines). It can also be used to soften a dimpled chin, lift sagging brows, and even reduce excessive sweating in certain areas.
Compared to other anti-aging treatments, Botox Cosmetic injections offer numerous benefits. It is a quick and relatively painless procedure that requires no downtime, making it a convenient option for those with busy schedules. Results are typically seen within a few days and can last months before reinjection is needed. The injections are fast, easy, and affordable for most of our patients, making them a less expensive alternative than invasive plastic surgeries that carry additional risks of complications.
