What is BOTOX®?
BOTOX injections are a diluted bacteria, called botulinum toxin, that can be injected into muscles to help them relax. Because wrinkles and fine lines are created by tense and scrunched muscles, BOTOX is able to help them smooth out, minimizing the appearance of lines caused by frowning, squinting, and other habits.
The number of injections you receive will largely depend on what types of wrinkles you want to address and their locations. Each one will take approximately five minutes to administer, and in many cases, appointments for BOTOX don’t last for longer than an hour.
Over the five days following their treatment, patients will notice their wrinkles fade, revealing a more youthful appearance. Typically, these results can last anywhere from three to six months before additional treatment is needed.
Who is a Good Candidate for BOTOX®?
While many patients are good candidates for this treatment, those who have certain neuromuscular conditions, are pregnant, have skin disorders, or are looking for ways to address deep facial scars may not be ideal candidates. That’s why it’s a great idea to schedule a consultation with Dr. Akinwande, to decide whether BOTOX can help you achieve the results you’re looking for.
Typically, we recommend injections to patients in their late 20s or older who are looking to address certain facial features, lines, and wrinkles, including:
- Lines at the corners of the mouth
- Smoker’s lines located around the lips
- Thin lips
- Gummy smile
- Soften a hard, square-shaped jawline
- Minimize the appearance of sagging skin around the jawline
- Crow’s feet
- Vertical lines between the eyebrows
The Benefits of BOTOX®
Patients will be able to enjoy a variety of benefits when they invest in BOTOX injections, including:
- Non-Invasive Cosmetic Procedure: Instead of opting for a surgical procedure like a face lift, you can achieve similar results without a scalpel, sutures, or recovery time with BOTOX injections.
- Lasting Results: Results from BOTOX injections typically last between three and six months depending on your habits and how often you receive them.
- Cost-Effective: BOTOX injections are priced per syringe and are an incredibly cost-effective way to improve your overall appearance and boost your confidence.
- Delicate, Natural-Looking Effects: Many patients get concerned that their results will make it obvious that they’ve had “work done.” However, when completed by a trained professional like Dr. Akinwande, you can rest assured that the results will be subtle and look natural, simply enhancing your existing features.
