There are a number of reasons you might want to consider Botox injections near Oldsmar. You might be experiencing crow’s feet, lines on your forehead, or lines around your brows. These lines and wrinkles are from repeated facial expressions and the lack of collagen and elastin, which decrease as you age. Botox corrects these lines and wrinkles and helps you look younger.
What Is Botox?
Botox is a neuromuscular blocker. It is a neurotoxin, but don’t let that scare you. Botox is completely 100 percent safe, FDA approved, and has been used for decades in over 80 countries. The active ingredient in Botox is the neurotoxin botulinum toxin type A. Botox is injected under the skin, sometimes using lidocaine to decrease injection site pain.
How Botox Works
When Botox is injected under the skin, it stops the facial muscles from contracting for a period of time. As the first couple of weeks after your injection pass, the lines and wrinkles on your face caused by facial muscles will begin to relax and smooth out. Within a few weeks, the lines and wrinkles simply melt away.
How Long Does It Last?
Results from Botox last about four months, although individual results may vary. You will begin to see your results almost immediately, and more so over the first two to three weeks after your session. When you start to see the lines and wrinkles coming back, simply make an appointment for a booster session.
