What is BOTOX?

BOTOX is a wrinkle relaxer used for deep wrinkles that are formed due to the long-term use of certain facial muscles. It is injected into the superficial muscles of expression, relaxing the muscles and thus allowing the wrinkles to “relax” away. You’ll start enjoying results about one week after your treatment, without any downtime or recovery period, making this treatment a favorite among those who are interested in impressive results that won’t impact their busy schedules. After your BOTOX session, you’ll enjoy a smoother, more youthful look that lasts for months. To learn more about BOTOX in Fredericksburg, reach out and set up your consultation today.

Is BOTOX Right for Me?

Although originally approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of eye and muscle spasms, BOTOX Cosmetic was quickly recognized for its cosmetic value. Properly placed injections of BOTOX Cosmetic block nerve impulses sent to muscles, weakening them to the point where they cannot contract, and temporarily eliminating moderately severe furrows and lines. 

You’re a great candidate for BOTOX in Fredericksburg at The Dermatology Center if you’re interested in addressing:

  • Forehead Lines
  • Facial Wrinkles
  • Frown Lines
  • Crows Feet
  • Bands On The Neck Area

How Does BOTOX Work?

Dynamic Wrinkles

While certain facial lines and wrinkles are simply formed by the natural aging process, others are actually created by the usage of your facial muscles over time. These wrinkles are known as “dynamic wrinkles,” and they form on your skin due to the constant engagement of the facial muscles that sit just beneath them.

Neuromodulation

Wrinkle relaxers create their effects by interrupting the nerve signals that tell these muscles to move, limiting their function and smoothing over the lines and wrinkles that they’ve caused over time. This also prevents the development of further lines and wrinkles, so you can enjoy a rejuvenated look for up to three months.

Experts You Can Trust

It is important that you use a highly trained specialist who is familiar with facial anatomy, advanced techniques, and medical conditions that might prevent you from having the treatment. Bad injection outcome is common when patients go to individuals who are not experts in the field of medicine. These “practitioners” commonly administer incorrect dosages and treat in the wrong areas, resulting in undesirable and unnatural outcomes.
