Botox for fine lines
Frustrated by the appearance of forehead wrinkles and creases around your eyes? Then it’s time to discover the wrinkle-reducing powers of Botox injections. This tried-and-true anti-aging treatment – which uses botulinum toxin as a main ingredient – helps smooth away common aging symptoms like forehead wrinkles, frown lines, and even crow’s feet.
With a single injection, patients can erase years from their appearance – and all in less than 15 minutes.
How Does Botox Work?
Botox contains botulinum toxin, a nucleoprotein that interrupts the brain’s signals to the injected nerve endings. As a result, skin in the injected area becomes smooth and relaxed, which leads to significant wrinkle reduction. The effect is temporary, with most clients seeing results last between three and four months.
Am I a Good Candidate for Botox?
You’re a good candidate if you have mild to moderate wrinkles, creases, and fine lines on your forehead region. Botox is also effective at treating frown lines between the eyebrows and crow’s feet.
How Long Does a Typical Treatment Take?
A typical injection takes about 15 minutes to administer, making this a highly convenient anti-aging solution for even the busiest clients.
What Results Will I See?
Results include smoother skin with minimized forehead wrinkles, frown lines, and crow’s feet. These results last between three to four months for most clients.
Is There Any Downtime?
There’s no downtime associated with Botox injections, although you might experience minor and very temporary swelling and slight bruising at the treated site.
- Avoid dental work or vaccinations 2 weeks before & after.
- Avoid taking aspirin, vitamin E, garlic, alcohol, Ginko Biloba, fish oil, or any blood thinners for 5 days before treatment as these can increase the risk for bruising.
- You may have small pink spots after the injections that can last several hours.
- There is a slight chance of bruising.
- Most people will return to work immediately following the treatment.
- Wait 4 weeks after injections for any Med Spa service on the face.
