Preventative Botox

Fight wrinkles with Botox

Wrinkles – we all have them! If you do not have them currently, you will likely get them as you age. Nowadays, Botox injection has become an extremely common procedure that is shown all across TV shows and on celebrities. With our society becoming more and more involved with posting photos on social media, most people want to look their best when presenting themselves to the world. Some may be self-conscious of wrinkles that show aging, whether or not it is premature, and may be looking for a way to combat this to help them achieve firmer and younger looking skin. While it is sometimes critiqued as people trying to “freeze time”, when performed properly it can have an extremely subtle and natural effect on those who receive Botox treatments. A skilled doctor can inject the Botox in a way that keeps your face from looking stiff, and rather just prevents the skin from wrinkling in specific areas of concern.

Botox is a safe and effective way of altering the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and can help clients achieve the smoother looking skin they desire without the fine lines and wrinkles commonly left from some facial expressions. Most people who have Botox injected are doing so to reduce the appearance of their wrinkles, but what about those who are using Botox to prevent this sign of aging altogether? Some doctors have begun advocating for younger clients to use Botox as a preventative measure. It has become more common for people in their twenties and thirties to be seeking Botox injections for preventative purposes. However, it is important to know how young of an age is an appropriate time to start. Since the treatments are easy to perform but not necessarily a “cheap” option, starting too early can leave your wallets empty and have results be minimal since the skin is still so young and has not yet shown visible signs of aging. It is recommended that preventative Botox be started when someone is in their thirties, as that is usually when lines begin to appear. This age can vary from person to person, as we all age differently and skin appearance can vary based on skin type. This recommended age is also made under the assumption that the skin has been taken care of and looked after, as the skin can age more rapidly due to many factors such as sun exposure or the use of cigarettes and drugs.

It is also important to know how much is too much and to consult your doctor before beginning the preventative injections. If someone has had their face injected with Botox too many times, it can actually have the opposite effect and cause some of the skin to begin to droop earlier on in age. Botox is used to temporarily paralyze the small muscles in your face to prevent them from wrinkling with certain expressions. Some common areas people tend to get Botox are on smile lines, the forehead, or on crow’s feet. Some doctors say how early someone should start using preventative Botox depends a lot on how expressive their face is and how many areas they are looking to correct. Botox does not necessarily work to completely freeze a person’s expression but rather works to provide a natural looking reduction of the fine lines and wrinkles that occur naturally. Botox ranges in cost and is usually between $400 – $1,200 for each syringe. Patients who are interested in these treatments should make sure that if they are looking to have preventative Botox injections done, it is necessary that they go to a skilled doctor who has experience dealing with this.

When Botox is injected as a preventative measure, it can work to stop the wrinkles and lines in their tracks and help them to not worsen over time. This is done by preventing the wrinkles from deepening as the patient continues to age. As stated above, if your skin has not yet shown any signs of wrinkles or aging, it is not a wise choice to start preventative Botox. The Botox would be a waste as it does not have any effect on the unwrinkled skin. To explain how preventative Botox can work, let’s use an example. If you are someone who frequently squints, the crow’s feet around your eyes may be prominent or somewhat deep. With the repetitive movement of this squinting over the years, the signs of aging in the crow’s feet will only continue to increase. When Botox is injected before the lines become too deep, the small muscles that are affected by the squinting motion are paralyzed. This, in turn, prevents the squinting movement to continue happening and repeating, which keeps the lines from getting any deeper or appearing more noticeable. For people who have specific lines on areas on their face that are of concern, this is where preventative Botox may come in handy. It can reduce the appearance of these lines and help them to not worsen by reducing the repetitive movements that caused the lines in the first place.

Some people have no interest in preventative Botox and will instead stick to a strategic skin care regimen of sun protection, creams, and other topical treatments. Some patients may include Botox as a part of their skincare regimen as well. Botox is not for everyone, but it definitely serves as a viable option for those looking to reduce the appearance of deep fine lines and wrinkles over time. By visiting your doctor to discuss the possibility of Botox, they can assess the areas on your face where preventative measures may be successful in helping with. A skilled dermatologist or plastic surgeon will be able to inject the Botox into the exact issue areas to help prevent further deepening.

    What’s the difference between reconstructive and cosmetic surgery?

    The purpose of cosmetic surgery is to reshape the body to improve self-esteem and create a more ideal self-image. On the other hand, the purpose of reconstructive surgery is to address disfigurement, defects, and other abnormalities. These issues may arise after accidents, surgeries to remove tumors, and things of that nature. Another big difference between these two types of surgery is the fact that cosmetic surgery is rarely covered by health insurance, while reconstructive surgery is usually covered.

    What can I expect when I recover from my cosmetic surgery?

    Your recovery experience depends on a number of factors. First of all, the type of procedure you choose may impact your recovery. Some procedures are less extensive and invasive than others, and you will likely experience an easier recovery period as a result. In addition, different patients recover in different ways. Some may require more or less pain medication than others. Your surgeon can prescribe the correct pain medications to help you overcome any discomfort. The good news is that virtually all facial cosmetic procedures involve easy recovery periods.

    How does Botox work?

    Botox injections are designed to reduce or remove visible signs of aging. The most common targets are hyper-functional lines - commonly known as “wrinkles.” These lines result from the contraction of underlying facial musculature, and Botox is effective because it temporarily weakens these muscles and prevents them from contracting. Botox does this without affecting the sensory feeling in these muscles. Botox may take up to 7 days to take full effect, although some patients notice considerable results in as little as 24 hours.

    How do I choose the right size for my breast implants?

    Choosing the right size for your new breast implants is an important decision. The choice is obviously based heavily on your own personal desires and tastes. On the other hand, you also need to take into account a number of additional factors. You might need to consider things like whether you have breastfed heavily in the past, and how this has affected your breasts. Remember, you can also receive cosmetic surgery to make breasts smaller. You can even receive surgery to change the general shape of the breasts without necessarily changing their size.

    How long do I need to take off work?

    You may need to take some time off work after undergoing your cosmetic procedure. Your surgeon will speak with you and let you know how long you need to fully recuperate. In general, most patients should rest for at least a week after receiving cosmetic surgery (less invasive procedures like Botox shouldn’t require any time off work).
