Not When There’s Botox In Golden, CO… A Trusted Solution For Softening The Appearance Of Wrinkles And Making You Look Younger Than Your True Age.
Botox was initially used as a treatment for eye conditions, such as strabismus. It was actually created by an ophthalmologist.
In the late 1980s, an eye doctor, while treating blepharospasm, noticed that the wrinkles on the patient’s forehead lessened. After over a decade of research, the FDA approved this remarkable treatment for cosmetic purposes.
Today, we offer Botox in Golden, CO, for wrinkles around the eyes, on the forehead, around the jaw, and more. We strategically inject it to give you a more youthful appearance without revealing that you had work done. We’re serious…
Botox can be that little secret that has your whole crew talking.
How Botox Treatment Works
You might be sold on the fact that you can reverse time a bit, and it’s as easy as getting a few injections. Just like most people, however, you might be curious how this medicine can treat eye conditions and lessen the appearance of wrinkles.
Well, it’ll make much more sense when you understand how the drug works. It consists of botulinum toxin. But, before you panic, the bacteria go through a purification process, so it’s safe to use.
Once injected into specific muscles, botulinum toxin will stop the release of a neurotransmitter that stimulates muscle contractions. By blocking acetylcholine, the muscles are temporarily paralyzed, which will diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
For this particular treatment, a practitioner will carefully inject the medication in designated spots in the muscles to prevent the drug from spreading. The dosage of each injection is carefully thought out to ensure you receive a natural-looking appearance.
Results You Can Expect
In as little as 10 minutes, a practitioner from our practice can make you look up to a whopping 10 years younger. However, we can alter your appearance to shift the hands of time less, ensuring the results look natural.
The results aren’t immediate from Botox treatment. In the first 24 to 48 hours, you may notice some change. After about two weeks, most patients see full results.
And for those who are a bit too young for wrinkles, we can stop them from forming using preventative treatments.
We make sure you retain your appearance and can still move your face as usual, no stone face, like Botox treatment patients often received in the past. Over time, the injection process has been perfected so people now retain full use of their facial muscles but have fewer wrinkles and fine lines.
After about three to four months, the results will start to fade, though some patients still have fewer wrinkles after six months. Those who receive Botox injection for crow’s feet usually experience results for six months. How long it lasts depends on how fast your body metabolizes Botox. Other factors that affect the duration of the results include:
- Dosage
- Age
- Skin conditions
- Severity of wrinkles
- Sun exposure levels
- Smoking
- Stress
Don’t worry about the results fading and the wrinkles reappearing, though. You can receive maintenance treatments before the results wear off and your face returns to normal. Slightly before the wrinkles start to reappear, you receive another round of injections. You can then keep that young look going.
Post-Treatment Care for Your Injections
Once you look in the mirror at your smooth skin, you won’t want to go back. Well, while it’s not a permanent treatment, you can extend how long your skin looks refreshed. For one, minimize sun exposure on your face by wearing sunscreen and a hat.
The sun is your skin’s nemesis, causing a breakdown of collagen and elastin — two substances your skin uses for firmness and stretch. As UV radiation damages these substances, your skin may sag and have more wrinkles.
This doesn’t consider that UV rays cause free radicals to form, and these unstable molecules will go after your skin cells and speed up the aging process. Your skin will thin from the sun as well, which will make fine lines and wrinkles appear more prominent.
What you do in the first 48 hours will also affect your results. You need to refrain from massaging the area. If you do, you’ll spread the substance and may botch your results. And in the first few hours, stay upright. When you lie down, the Botox may spread. Trust us — you won’t like the results once they spread.
Exfoliate regularly. While this won’t necessarily help you maintain that young appearance, it does remove dead skin cells that can make your skin look older than it is. Instead, you reveal the smoothest skin possible as you remove what’s making your skin look dull and more wrinkled.
