14 Dec What’s So Great About Botox?
It’s just a fact: no matter how hard we try to stop it from happening, aging is inevitable and things like Botox and dermal fillers actually really do stave off those proverbial hands of time.
Yes, indeed cosmetic surgery offers the option to reverse the signs of aging when over-the-counter treatments and healthy skin care regimens have failed. Presently there are so many advancements and technologies in the field of plastic surgery that patients can achieve beautiful results that are tailored to their individual needs. However, there are many people who are much more interested in the new, less invasive options to avoid the incisions, the downtime, anesthesia and everything else that is involved with having surgery.
At the very minimum, patients are willing to try injectables such as Botox and dermal fillers before they opt for surgical intervention. It’s really a question of “why not?”
Why Botox?
Botox is a name that we are familiar with and has definitely stood the test of time. Botox was approved for use on frown lines in April of 2002, and since then has been approved for use in other areas. Botox or Botulinum Toxin Type A injections are the fastest growing cosmetic procedure in the industry. And it is so, because of all that it can offer. Botox advantages include:
• Smoothes fine lines and wrinkles: BOTOX® Cosmetic can target dynamic wrinkles such as forehead lines, crow’s feet, and furrows between the brows.
• It can smooth these upper facial lines to provide a more youthful appearance.
• Little to no downtime: After Botox treatment, patients can immediately return home and resume regular activities. However, patients should refrain from touching or applying any pressure on the treatment area and avoid sun exposure for the first few days.
• Minimal pain: Most patients will feel very little pain during their Botox treatment. Swelling and bruising is minimal and will subside within a few days. Some patients may experience bleeding from the injection site that will cease within a short time.
• Quick results: Although there may be some swelling and redness following treatment, most Botox patients will see immediate results with reduced signs of aging and smoother skin.
• No anesthesia: Most surgical procedures require intravenous (IV) sedation or a general anesthetic. Botox injections do not require any anesthesia or sedation and can be performed in the office well within an hour’s time.
If you are at the point where you feel as though Botox might be worth a try, rest assured that you will most likely be very happy with your results. Botox combined with dermal fillers can potentially do a great deal to give you the younger, fresher look you desire.
