Injectable Botox Treatment

Benefits

Botox only works on wrinkles that are caused by muscle movement. These are known as dynamic wrinkles, and are often called "expression lines." Most people find that the muscle-relaxing effect of Botox lasts for 3 to 4 months.

Botox injections are noted primarily for the ability to reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles. They're also used to treat conditions such as neck spasms (cervical dystonia), excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), an overactive bladder and lazy eye. Botox injections may also help prevent chronic migraines

Mechanism of Action

Unlike a face lift or other kind of invasive facial rejuvenation procedure, treatment takes minutes and requires zero downtime. Using a very fine needle, Botox is injected into the facial muscles that are responsible for unsightly wrinkles and fine lines and relaxes the muscles. The ingredients in Botox block the signal from the nerve to the muscle, and therefore reduce it’s ability to contract, and form unsightly wrinkles.

Botulinum toxin type A (Botox) is one of the most well-known methods for warding off wrinkles and other signs of aging. It's a prescription medication that's injected into the muscles of the face. Botox works by stopping the muscle that it's injected into from contracting, so it appears relaxed and smooth.

Botox is also used to eradicate the horizontal lines of the forehead. The injection must be placed in the middle portion of the forehead; otherwise, drooping of the brow will occur. Creative Botoxing can elevate eyebrows, evening out asymmetry. The crow's-feet area, to the side of the eye, is also commonly treated.

Botox Cosmetic is FDA-approved and injections are relatively safe when performed by an experienced injector. It has proven to be a successful and valuable therapeutic protein when dosage, frequency of treatment & variety of treated clinical conditions are considered. The best way to ensure you receive the results you are looking for is to only receive injections from a highly experienced provider, such as the medical and nursing professionals at Ideal Image.
