Botox in Austin, TX
As we get older, it often begins to show on our face first. This can start with fine lines and wrinkles and eventually turn into sagging skin. This can make you feel uncomfortable with how you look, and you might find yourself losing confidence in your appearance. One of the most common ways to treat the signs of aging is through the use of Botox. Botox can help rejuvenate your appearance and get rid of the fine lines and wrinkles that can age you. It’s important to understand what Botox is and how it can help enhance your appearance.
Understanding Botox
Botox is created from a bacterium known as botulinum toxin type A. This is the same bacterium that can cause botulism when ingested but can actually be used to treat signs of aging! The treatment is fairly simple and quick. Your provider will examine your skin and determine what areas need to be targeted. From there, they can inject Botox into the muscles in those areas.
Botox helps by freezing the muscles that perform repetitive movements. These repetitive movements are what cause the fine lines, so when the muscle is frozen, it allows it to relax, and the skin will then smoothen out. Botox can typically last anywhere from 3-5 months and if you want to maintain your results, you’ll need to continue getting Botox treatments done. It may take a week for your results to appear, and they will continue to improve over the next month after your first treatment.
Botox is quick and the process usually doesn’t take more than 30 minutes. There is no downtime associated with Botox and you’ll be able to return to your normal activities immediately. You may want to avoid any vigorous exercise for the first 24 hours. Botox can also be used to treat issues like TMD and migraines.
Dysport is a treatment similar to Botox and it uses the same type of bacterium. The main difference is that Dysport typically tends to show results quicker, which can be helpful when you have more severe issues to treat.
There are risks associated with getting Botox. You may experience symptoms of headache or pain after treatment if it’s done incorrectly. If you notice an allergic reaction, you should call your healthcare provider immediately.
