If we step outside, it looks like clinics and spas are offering Botox treatments everywhere. The first thing that comes into mind when we hear the word Botox injections is the reduction of facial wrinkles. Rather than going by general knowledge, it is important to understand what Botox is and how it works. Above all, it is good for your face wrinkles.  There are some clinics which are just offering Botulinum (Botox) treatments alone, but does that mean it is the right treatment for all of your facial wrinkles?

Facial wrinkle types and treatments

There are dynamic wrinkles and static wrinkles, and both of them need their separate treatment methodology. 

Dynamic wrinkles: The name has been coined because these types of wrinkles occur due to facial muscle movement, which happens when we smile, laugh or squint. Crow’s feet around your eyes and lines on your forehead are categorised as dynamic wrinkles. Botox is a short form of botulinum toxin that temporarily paralyses or relaxes muscle activity. Botox is a good option for temporary wrinkles as it smoothes them out and gives them a more youthful appearance. 

Static wrinkles: These types of wrinkles are caused when the skin naturally loses its collagen and elasticity constantly, exposing the skin to the sun or due to excessive smoking, the skin becomes wrinkled due to the loss of elasticity and collagen. Part of ageing is the volume loss on the face, which makes the skin thinner and dryer. The silhouette of your face changes. Some skincare providers recommend Botox for static wrinkles. Also, fillers are a much better option. Fillers smooth out the lines and wrinkles, give you a fresh appearance and restore the volume loss. Common fillers are more suited for fine lines and wrinkles around your mouth. 

For best results, a combination of Botox and fillers are used. 

Botulinum (Botox) must be administered under professional supervision as these injections must be given precisely in order to avoid side effects. Before fixing on a skin care provider, do thorough research and always choose a doctor who has good experience in administering Botox and filler treatments. 

Benefits of getting a Botulinum (Botox) treatment for your face wrinkles

Botulinum (Botox) treatments have shown immense value in improving facial health. Read on to learn more about the benefits of getting Botulinum (Botox) treatment for your face wrinkles.

Reduction in wrinkles and facial lines: Botulinum (Botox) produces wrinkles and facial lines and, at the same time, prevents the formation of new ones. Since the Botulinum (Botox) injections temporarily paralyse the targeted areas, those muscles will not be able to contract further. Botulinum (Botox) injections work effectively to reduce crow’s feet, frown lines, forehead lines, and furrows. These are the areas that are noticeable immediately and are also the areas that are more prone to wrinkles due to repeated muscle movements. So, if you feel that you are getting bothered by these wrinkles and facial lines, then Botox is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure which will be of immense help to you. 

Enhanced Aesthetics: Botulinum (Botox) treatment enhances an individual’s overall facial aesthetics. After the wrinkles and final lines are softened, the individual has a youthful look enriched with natural beauty, making you appear refreshed and rejuvenated. Studies have further proven the effectiveness of Botox injections in the aesthetic improvement of microroughness, enlarged pore size and skin texture. Around 95% of patients who underwent Botox treatments have expressed extremely high satisfaction with their new facial appearance. 

Increased Confidence:  Some people lose confidence or become extremely unhappy with their face once wrinkles and facial lines start to appear. People in certain professions that involve a lot of face-to-face interactions might also want to reduce their wrinkles and facial lines. For those professionals and also for anyone who is looking to boost their self-esteem and confidence by improving their facial texture and appearance, Botox treatment works wonders for them. Ageing concerns are addressed by Botox treatment and can help take self-esteem a notch higher. Look and feel your best with the renewed and attractive skin of your dreams. Having smoother and younger-looking skin gives many people the confidence to face others. 

Non-Invasive Procedure: There are a host of cosmetic procedures, but both Botulinum (Botox) injections are non-invasive. The procedure of Botox injections is also simple, and the risk factors are less compared to other invasive cosmetic procedures. With the help of a thin needle, expert dermatologists will inject tiny Botulinum toxin amounts into the skin or muscles. A slight discomfort is felt during the procedure, and only a little skin numbing is required beforehand. Some may also experience small bruising, which will disappear within a few days. The procedure is super fast, and it takes only a few minutes to perform, especially if you’re in the hands of an experienced and skilled dermatologist. Before the treatment itself, spend quality time with the dermatologist and ask all the questions that you may have about the treatment. Returning to your daily activities also will be quick after your injections without any difficulties. 

Reduced Excess Sweating: Hyperhidrosis is a condition where an individual sweats excessively around the underarms, groin area, hands, and feet. This makes it extremely difficult during social interactions, so a person feels isolated or maybe embarrassed to go out in public or to stand very near to others. Botox injections reduce excessive sweating because they block the nerve signals which are responsible for sweating, which stops sweat glands from producing too much sweat. In this case, a person might have to take Botox injections at periodic intervals to maintain the effects.

Speedy Results: The results are usually seen almost immediately after the injection, so it is an ideal option for people who want to improve their appearance quickly. Even if a person experiences slight side effects like bruising, swelling or redness, they disappear within a few hours to days. So, normal life is not largely disrupted, and they can face the world with their fresh skin and regain self-confidence. 

Within one or three days of administering the injections, the wrinkles and fine lines start to fade off. The results usually last for 3 to 4 months, so follower injections can provide more lasting facial rejuvenation.
