A popular non-surgical facial rejuvenation treatment for both men and women, Botox is a purified protein that is injected into the small muscles of the face or neck to temporarily cease movement at the nerve endings. Often the first lines, creases, and wrinkles we see in the face are created by repetitive muscle movement under the skin. Botox temporarily reduces these wrinkles in the face and is administered in just a few minutes. Botox results can last for three to four months on average and repeat treatment can flatten the muscle to keep the unwanted tension from reemerging. Patients can see some results immediately after the treatment and there is no downtime required for recovery, so you can get right back to you day.
If you are looking for an improvement in the age-related wrinkles, Washington DC Botox Cosmetic may be for you. For those interested in relaxing the muscles that cause wrinkles, regardless of age, it can be an excellent option that provides a refreshed look to rid you of the tired or angry appearance. Patients are often very satisfied with the subtle improvement that it provides. Many will say that their friends and acquaintances comment on how they look well-rested. Even in younger patients, Botox Cosmetic can be preventative and stops lines from forming and creating deeper creases that become more difficult to soften with age.
Botox is most often used to treat unwanted frown lines between the brows, as well as vertical lines in the brows and crows feet. Some patients may opt to combine the botox treatment with other facial rejuvenation treatments.
