Botox is capable of treating facial wrinkles as well as other signs of aging. The two types of wrinkles are dynamic wrinkles and static wrinkles. Static wrinkles can be caused by a lack of elasticity and collagen in the skin and sometimes by skin damage caused by the sun or smoking among other potential causes.
Botox can be used to treat static wrinkles and is sometimes used in conjunction with other treatments to produce enhanced results. Dynamic wrinkles occur over time and result from facial movements like a laugh, smile, or squint. Lines arising because of dynamic wrinkles such as crow’s feet around the eyes or on the forehead are fairly common.
Botox can be an effective treatment option for dynamic wrinkles as the botulinum toxin temporarily paralyzes and relaxes muscle activity. Botox can generate a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance by smoothing wrinkles. Clients who undergo Botox procedures not only report the benefits of the aesthetic improvements they have noticed but the boost of self-esteem and confidence that comes with them.
Botox is approved for clients aged 18 years and older but for clients between the age of 18 and their mid-twenties, Botox may be premature as they are unlikely to have enough lines to cause concern prior to these. Clients in their mid-twenties and into their thirties can benefit from beginning to receive preventative Botox treatment.
There is no exact rule on which age individuals should begin to receive preventative Botox treatment; rather they should monitor their skin condition and pay attention to fine lines before they become full wrinkles. Some wrinkles occur genetically, so if clients notice wrinkles forming similar to those they have seen in relatives they may consider Botox. Consultation with a medical professional is an important step in determining the extent to which the client can benefit from Botox.
Botox can be used on a saggy neck. An injection of Botox into the neck paralyzes neck muscles and serves to reduce fine lines and wrinkles but it can also be used to target sagging jowls. Clients may see improvements in both the jawline and the neck itself with Botox.
Botox can change the shape of the jaw and the neck by tightening the skin around to produce a slimming effect with a noticeable reduction in sagging skin. Botox is a non-surgical practice which means it has no necessary hospital stay or long recovery times like alternative procedures. The results produced by Botox are also long-lasting and easily maintainable.
Botox is a highly popular injection treatment to combat facial wrinkles. Clients who receive the treatment report a more youthful appearance as well as feeling more rested and relaxed. Candidates for Botox treatment include those who want to reduce and manage dynamic facial wrinkles or are trying to prevent fine lines from turning into full-fledged wrinkles.
Ideal candidates for Botox are 18 years of age or older and generally, in good physical health, the ideal candidate is neither pregnant nor nursing. Clients should also have realistic expectations about what can and cannot be achieved. Overall, however, the procedure can be an excellent option for anyone looking to combat the appearance of aging and realize a rejuvenated, healthier-looking appearance.
Botox treatments can improve not only the appearance but the client’s self-confidence and mood.

What to expect
What are they?
Botox, Xeomin and Dysport are injectables that help target muscles that create wrinkles in the face and body.
How can they help me?
Neuromodulators such as Botox work by preventing contraction of the muscle which smooths out wrinkles over time. They are extremely safe and reliable to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on the face and body.
Am I a good candidate?
Clients who have wrinkles between their brows, on their forehead, around the eyes and mouth, and around the neck are typically good candidates for neuromodulators. Clients can start as early as their twenties to benefit from the preventative effects that neuromodulators can provide. The more often you receive neurotoxin injections, the less deep wrinkles will become and the smoother your skin will appear. Earlier treatment can prevent the formation of etched lines from developing. This treatment is not a one size fits all. Our experienced nurse injector will customize a plan based on her assessment of your facial anatomy, muscles, and appearance to target your concerns.
What to expect
Botox, Xeomin, and Dysport injections can be performed in under 15 minutes. There is virtually no down time with the procedure and results can be seen in 2 weeks with results lasting upwards of 3-4 months. The most common side effects are tenderness at injection sites, potentially small bruising, and a mild headache that typically resolves within 24 hours.
