Mature adults begin to experience dynamic wrinkling on the face and wonder what they can do to reduce this visual sign of aging. Our skin becomes more brittle as we age, and the hot Miami, FL sun only exacerbates the problem by causing the skin to lose moisture more rapidly. We often recommend BOTOX® as a convenient and easy fix for patients experiencing these types of issues. BOTOX® doesn’t treat the skin directly; rather, it allows the surface to remain smoother by relaxing the upper-level facial muscles.
Dynamic wrinkles are the small, thin lines that appear around the corners of the mouth and eyes, above the nose and across the forehead. When the muscles responsible for making facial expressions remain relaxed, the skin doesn’t get pinched, and these dynamic wrinkles don’t appear. Those who are wary of more aggressive approaches such as surgery can often greatly benefit from this treatment.
A Simple Fix for Dynamic Wrinkles
The simplicity of a BOTOX® treatment is one of its greatest benefits. We do want to consult with the client first so that we can examine their facial features. We may ask the client to perform certain expressions such as pouting, pursing the lips and frowning. This allows us to determine where to administer injections and how much of the product to use.
BOTOX® is injected just beneath the skin and into the upper-level facial muscles. The active ingredient works by relaxing these muscles to the point that they do not contract quite as harshly, thereby preventing them from forming wrinkles on your skin.
A typical treatment session usually takes just minutes to perform. Once injected, the solution settles into the muscle tissue, and results become visible after 3-5 days. Most clients get to enjoy their full results after about two weeks.
After Treatment
The client will still be able to perform all the same facial expressions they could before, but because the muscles that lie directly beneath the skin no longer fully contract, the skin isn’t pulled or stretched. This means that dynamic wrinkles don’t appear when the client smiles or frowns.
The muscles that lie more deeply aren’t affected. This means that the face won’t feel numb, and rapid muscle contractions that control eye blinking and mouth movements will perform their job just as effectively as they did before treatment. There is no downtime for the client following treatment, and they are free to go about their daily routine as soon as their injections have been completed.
Advantages of BOTOX® Injections
BOTOX® doesn’t contain acids or other compounds that affect the skin tone. This gives the treatment an advantage over treatments that might have an adverse effect on a client’s skin tone or type. This treatment also remains one of the quickest and easiest ways to help a client look refreshed, relaxed and rejuvenated.
Repeat treatment sessions are as simple to perform as the initial procedure. In fact, the muscles become trained to stay relaxed, so subsequent treatments often require less of the BOTOX® solution, and the results may begin to last longer and longer.
