What Is Botox? Relax Wrinkles and Smooth Your Skin

Wrinkles and Smooth Your Skin

Wrinkles are a natural part of the aging process. You can take steps to avoid them, but most people get them anyway after a certain age. 

Fortunately, there is a solution: Botox cosmetic injectables. Botox is a wrinkle-relaxing treatment that has been popular for decades. Patients who want smooth, youthful skin should consider Botox injections, regardless of their age. 

How Botox Works

The active ingredient in Botox is a neuromodulator. Neuromodulators are substances that block nerve signals to your facial muscles. Your muscle contractions are less intense; as a result, your facial expressions do not create deep wrinkles. The neuromodulator formula wears off over time as your body metabolizes it. 

Natural Facial Expressions

With our skilled injectors at AURAE MD, you don’t have to worry about overinjection. This happens when too much of the Botox formula is injected, and it can lead to a stiff or frozen facial appearance. At AURAE MD, we use careful and precise injection techniques to allow for natural facial expressions and the display of emotions. 

Wrinkle Smoothing and Prevention

Younger patients often wish to get Botox to prevent future wrinkles and expression lines. This is a valid use of Botox treatments. Botox is effective at preventing facial creases from forming or deepening over time. With fewer intense muscle contractions, your face is less likely to form deep wrinkles. 

Patients as young as their 20s and 30s can benefit from Botox injections. If you want to prevent the visible signs of aging for as long as possible, this injectable treatment is for you. The temporary nature of Botox allows you to test out the treatment for yourself before committing to repeated Botox injections. 

What Botox Treats

Wrinkles can form almost anywhere on your face. So what can Botox treat effectively? The answer is almost any type of expression line and wrinkle. No matter how aged your skin is, Botox can reverse some of the visible signs by relaxing your wrinkles and giving you a smoother, more youthful complexion. 

Crow’s Feet

Crow’s feet are wrinkles that form on the outer corners of your eyes. These are often referred to as “smile crinkles” because they are exaggerated when you smile. Older patients often struggle with crow’s feet after a life full of joy and laughter. Botox smooths crow’s feet to give your eyes a more youthful appearance. 

Forehead Wrinkles

When you raise your eyebrows, you may notice that horizontal wrinkles appear on your forehead. Over time, these wrinkles become permanent no matter what expression you make. Botox is commonly used to smooth forehead wrinkles for a younger-looking appearance. Your skeptical raised eyebrows don’t have to show your age anymore. 

Smoker’s Lines

Wrinkles and fine lines around your lips and nose are known as “smoker’s lines.” Even if you don’t smoke, aging can cause these expression lines to become more intense. Botox smooths the appearance of these mouth and nose lines to give you a smoother-looking smile. 

Eyebrow “11s”

Do you notice vertical lines between your eyebrows? These are known as eyebrow “11s.” Fine lines between the eyebrows are often the result of intense facial expressions. Botox can reduce the severity of these wrinkles and smooth the skin between your eyebrows. 

How Long Until I See Results?

Imagine that have just left your Botox cosmetic injection appointment, and you are wondering when you will see your wrinkles go away. You won’t have to wait long.

Botox results typically take two to three days to take effect. During this time, the neuromodulator is working on blocking nerve signals to your facial muscles. After a few days, you will notice smoother, wrinkle-free skin in the areas of injection. 

How Long Will My Results Last?

Botox results last between one and three months. Your results window depends on how quickly your body metabolizes the Botox formula and the severity of your wrinkles. Patients with deep facial creases may need maintenance injections sooner than those with only mild signs of aging. 

After the three-month mark, you will start to notice fine lines appearing again. This is a sign that it’s time to book your next Botox appointment. 

Is Botox Safe?

Botox has been approved to treat mild to severe wrinkles by the FDA. This injectable treatment also effectively treats some other medical conditions. Botox has been used for decades for cosmetic treatments and other medical purposes. 

With its long history and FDA approval, this treatment is recommended for almost any patient who wants to get rid of wrinkles. 

Botox can also treat hyperhidrosis, commonly known as excessive sweating. The neuromodulator formula works on sweat glands to treat hyperhidrosis in your hands, feet, and underarm areas. This is a lesser-known medical benefit of Botox cosmetic injections. 

Neuromodulators only affect specific facial muscles and nerves. This means they will not paralyze your muscles permanently. You can trust AURAE MD to give you the wrinkle-smoothing Botox results you want with a fast, simple procedure.
