There are many different reasons that patients choose to receive Botox treatment. Botox can relieve any of the symptoms that make you feel less confident, and help you achieve a more youthful, radiant appearance.
What is Botox Cosmetic?
Botox is a medication that can only be prescribed by a healthcare professional. It is used as a temporary treatment for patients between the ages of 18 and 65. Botox treatments are quick and comfortable, and in only a few hours you will begin to notice a difference in the way your skin looks and feels.
How does Botox work?
Botox uses a special protein to block overactive nerve impulses and restrict muscle contractions. In doing so, Botox helps to relax your muscles beneath the skin, so fine lines and wrinkles become less visible. This gives your skin a healthy, more youthful appearance.
Depending on each individual case, the results can last between one and six months. Treatment is temporary, so when the Botox begins to wear off, the skin will return to the way it looked before treatment.
Am I a good candidate for Botox?
