Have you begun noticing lines and wrinkles around your eyes, forehead, or brow line? Many people discover that as they age, they begin to get these lines and wrinkles due to decades of repeating the same facial expressions. One of the best ways to erase those lines and creases is with Botox. Ultimate Image near Largo has experienced aestheticians available now for Botox treatments.
How Botox Works
Botox is a neuromuscular blocker. When it is injected under the skin on the face, it stops facial muscles from contracting for a period of time. When the muscles and skin of the face relax for a long period, it allows those lines and wrinkles that have formed to simply smooth out and melt away.
Is It Safe?
Botox is completely safe and FDA approved. In fact, Botox has been used for over 20 years in aesthetics and other uses, and it has been used and studied extensively in over 80 countries. Although it is a neurotoxin, Botox is 100 percent safe and easy to use. There are usually no side effects, although you may have some irritation for a few hours at the injection site.
What to Expect
When you first get your Botox treatment, you may not see immediate results. It takes about two weeks after the initial treatment for real results to show. After the treatment, the facial muscles are not able to contract, and over the course of about two weeks, the lines and creases that those muscles have caused will begin to fade and melt away. Results from Botox usually last about four months, although individual results may vary.
