As we age, we go through wonderful life experiences that help shape who we are. And while we’re grateful for all that life brings, it can be frustrating when those experiences are visible on our faces in the form of wrinkles, creases, and fine lines. When it comes to combating aging and maintaining a youthful look, Botox is a time-tested tool many plastic surgeons and aesthetic professionals turn to.

What is Botox?
Botox is an FDA-approved, non-invasive, injectable procedure that reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines on the face. It works by injecting a small amount of botulinum toxin, a neurotoxic protein, into the muscles of your face. This protein temporarily blocks the nerve signals that tell your muscles to contract. Without Botox, the contractions of these muscles cause wrinkles and creases to form on the face, but with Botox, they do not receive the signal, and your face stays relaxed and smooth. Botox doesn’t inhibit your ability to express yourself or move your face, and the results will be natural and restorative, rather than giving you a frozen look.

What are the benefits of Botox?
Botox has a number of rejuvenating benefits, including:

• Reducing the appearance of wrinkles – As we age, our skin loses collagen and elasticity, which can lead to the formation of wrinkles. Botox can help to temporarily reduce the appearance of wrinkles, giving you a more youthful appearance.
• Improving skin texture – In addition to reducing the appearance of wrinkles, Botox can also help to improve the overall texture of your skin.
• Preventing new wrinkles from forming – By relaxing the muscles in your face, Botox can also help to prevent new wrinkles from forming.

How often do you need to receive Botox?

It is advised that you get a touch-up every three to six months to maintain your desired results. If you receive regular Botox injections, your skin will stay smoother and tighter. If you do not keep up with receiving Botox touch-ups, you don’t need to worry about suddenly developing wrinkles or aged skin. Your skin will stay looking younger depending on how long you received Botox treatment.

What can you expect from your Botox procedure?

When you come in for your procedure, your doctor will first clean your skin and then inject the Botox into the desired areas. The injection itself is relatively quick and easy. You may experience some redness and swelling at the injection site, but this should resolve within a few days. You may begin to see some results a couple of days after receiving your injections; however, it typically takes up to two weeks to see the full results of the treatment.Why choose J SPA Medical Day Spa to receive your Botox treatment?
