Have you noticed an increase in forehead wrinkles or creases? As we age, these things unfortunately happen, but that doesn’t mean you just have to accept them as a part of the aging process. You can fight back against time with cosmetic solutions. One of the most popular ways people are saying no more wrinkles is with Botox injections. If you’re not sure they’re right for you, we’ve put together a handy guide to determine if they’re something you’ll want to try. And we think you will!
Here are some questions that will guide your Botox journey.
What do you expect from your results? What exactly are you looking for? If you want a full appearance in certain areas, Botox is not for you. In that case, you’ll want dermal fillers, and we can help with that, too. But, if you want to help reduce the appearance of fine lines, crow’s feet and creases, Botox is your best bet.
Botox helps to reduce the appearance of these things by temporarily relaxing specific facial muscles. This reduces the ability of the muscle to contract, which allows the wrinkles to smooth out. It also prevents new wrinkles from forming.
How much correction do you need?
Botox can help with mild to moderate wrinkles, lines and creases, and can look very natural. Some individuals fear “frozen” appearance, but skilled providers like Dr. Davis can help give you a more natural result.
If your wrinkles are severe, you may want to discuss other skin tightening options or look at more in-depth procedures.
Can You Wait a While to See Results?
If you’re hoping to get Botox and see events right away, you may want to consider doing your treatment sooner rather than later. While some results are visible right after the procedure, the full results from Botox take between seven to ten days to appear.
That being said, we suggest that you make your Botox appointment at least two weeks before your big day.
Need to see results sooner rather than later? Dermal fillers such as Juvederm and Restylane can bring you immediate benefits, but they won’t help prevent future wrinkles.
Can You Commit to Regular Maintenance?
Botox does not last forever, so that means you will need regular trips for touch up applications. Most people experience the wrinkle-reducing benefits for about three months.
Have You Found a Provider?
Have you located a qualified, educated and experienced provider to do your Botox injections? Using someone skilled at injecting Botox is critical for achieving the results you’re hoping to make.
We recommend that you use providers who are experienced, educated and licensed to ensure your wrinkles are evened out, and your youthful appearance is restored.
Dr. Mayli Davis is that provider and would love to help you with Botox, dermal fillers or other skin rejuvenating therapies. Give us a call today at 817-778-4444 to learn more!
