If the signs of aging are written all over your face, and you're unhappy with how you look, you might be a candidate for Botox® therapy. Botox injections work quickly on facial wrinkles to boost your self-confidence and your satisfaction with your appearance.
At A to Z Dermatology, the skilled dermatologists specialize in Botox injections to address the deep-set wrinkles across your brow and the crow’s feet around your eyes. They customize a treatment plan to help you achieve your aesthetic goals and ensure you’re completely satisfied with your results.
Botox is a prescription injectable medication that originates from the botulinum toxin. The medication temporarily paralyzes movement in your facial muscles. This helps to relax the muscles, and your skin smooths out, so wrinkles look less noticeable.
Treatment involves injections of precise amounts of Botox into specific areas of your face. We can determine how many injections you need to achieve your results based on your skin health and treatment goals.
As you get older, your body produces less collagen than it did in your youth. Wrinkles, lines, and creases form around your face as your skin loses collagen. Your skin also becomes less flexible.
The wrinkles that form around your eyes and across your brow as you get older develop because of the repeated muscle contractions you make with your expressions. Squinting and frowning are common movements that can trigger and worsen crow’s feet and frown lines.
All of these issues can affect your self-confidence and self-esteem. Botox helps create a more youthful appearance by smoothing out wrinkles and creases without invasive procedures. You should consider Botox therapy if you're unhappy with your facial appearance but aren’t ready for surgery.
Botox therapy requires no downtime or anesthesia, and you can return to your usual activities immediately after your treatment is complete.
We offer Botox therapy to people in good overall health and who aren’t allergic to the ingredients in the injection.
Botox injections are a treatment option for moderate to severe wrinkles in the face, including:
Our team provides comprehensive skin evaluations before starting therapy to determine if you’re a candidate for Botox. We can also use Botox therapy in conjunction with other dermatology services, including dermal fillers, to enhance your appearance further.
After your Botox injections, you may see a difference in the severity of your facial wrinkles. As Botox begins relaxing your muscles, you should notice a significant improvement in your skin in the days after your treatment.
The effects of Botox typically last three to four months. If you notice your wrinkles coming back, we can provide maintenance injections to help you retain your results.
The goal of your Botox treatment plan is to provide you with long-lasting, natural-looking results so your skin looks smoother and more youthful.
