Maintain Your Youthful, Beautiful Face with Cosmetic Botox Injections
Everyone knows plastic surgery can reverse aging signs for a youthful appearance. Unfortunately, surgical procedures can be painful, time-consuming, and occasionally lead to disastrous, permanent outcomes. Crossroads Dental has a less invasive solution to reverse fine lines, wrinkles, and other aging signs. With Botox injections in Longmont, Colorado, Dr. Amy Farmer can help rejuvenate your skin appearance.Â
What are Botox injections?
Aging is a part of life and can take a toll on your physical appearance. Do you see lines between your brows? How about smile lines around your mouth? While these aging signs are expected, the more prominent they become, the more self-conscious you feel.Â
Good news! You don’t have to go under the knife to achieve a youthful appearance when your skin creams and lotions fail to yield the desired results. With a few Botox injections in your facial muscles, we can reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and other aging signs.
But what is Botox? Botox (in full Botulinum Toxin) is a natural neuromodulator that causes temporary muscle paralysis. When injected in small doses into your face, it reduces involuntary facial movements (like frowning and squinting) that cause the appearance of dynamic aging signs over time.Â
No surgery, no downtime
Unlike plastic surgery and other invasive techniques, Botox is non-invasive. The doctor only injects the Botox product in specific areas of the face, particularly in the forehead, around the mouth, in the corner of the eyes, etc. There are no scalpels or sutures involved.
Botox treatment typically takes 20-30 minutes, allowing you to fit it into your lunchtime break. The procedure requires minimal preparation, with your doctor advising you to refrain from applying makeup and avoiding blood-thinning medications to prevent bruising.
During treatment, the dentist will apply a numbing agent on your face to minimize discomfort during injections. After the Botox injections, avoid rubbing the area for at least 24 hours, and stay away from heat exposure, including saunas and intense sunlight. Other than these small details to observe, you can resume your everyday activities immediately after treatment.
When will I see the results?
After 2-3 days, some individuals start seeing noticeable results, but the full effects are after 7-14 days. However, Botox isn’t permanent. The body metabolizes the product, and it eventually wears off. Typically, you’ll need Botox retreatments every 3-4 months.Â
The temporary nature of Botox is appealing to many, as it allows flexibility in treatment. You can stop the treatment if you’re unsatisfied with the results or continue if you’re pleased with the outcome.
