Reduce Fine Lines and Wrinkles South Surrey
What is botulinum toxin type A?
This is the treatment to reduce Fine Lines and Wrinkles. The cosmetic form of botulinum toxin, also known as Botox, is a popular injectable that temporarily reduces or eliminates facial fine lines and wrinkles. The most commonly treated areas are frown lines, forehead creases, and crow’s feet near the eyes. Several other areas have been treated, such as thick bands in the neck, thick jaw muscles, lip lines, and gummy smiles.
Botulinum toxin (Botox) is a purified substance that’s derived from bacteria. Botulinum toxin injections block nerve signals to the muscle in which it was injected. Without a signal, the muscle is not able to contract. The end result is diminished unwanted facial wrinkles or appearance.
Botulinum toxin (Botox) can be used to:
- Reduce Fine Lines & Wrinkles
- Smooth crow’s feet, forehead furrows, frown lines, lip lines, and bunny lines
- Diminish neck bands
- Improve the appearance of skin dimpling on the chin
- Lift the corners of the mouth
- Soften a square jawline
- Correct a gummy smile
Procedure
Botulinum toxin (Botox) injections may seem like a simple procedure to you since it’s just a few shots. But it’s an art and science that only an experienced healthcare professional (Medical Doctor or Registered Nurse) should do.
There are 43 muscles in your face, and it’s vital that the person who performs botulinum toxin injections understands and pinpoints the correct spots to optimize your treatment.
A very thin needle injects small amounts of botulinum toxin into specific muscles. By carefully choosing specific muscles, your healthcare provider weakens only the wrinkle-producing muscles, preserving your natural facial expressions.
Botulinum toxin (Botox) treatment injections usually take less than 15 minutes.
The number of injections you need will depend on your facial features and the extent of your wrinkles. Crow’s feet, for example, usually demand two to three injections. Furrows above your brow could take five or more.
Recovery
There is no downtime or recovery time for botulinum toxin injections.
Results
You may notice results within a few days, but it can take up to a week to see the full effect. This improvement typically lasts about three to four months.
