The natural aging process, frequent sun exposure, and the general stresses of life too often result in otherwise healthy skin suffering unnecessary wrinkling and damage. Fortunately, Botox can help aid in reversing the signs of early aging and the effects of the sun. An injectable treatment offered by trained professionals; Botox gives patients an almost immediate reversal of wrinkles. You can experience a facial renewal with Botox in just one appointment with one of our providers at Paducah Dermatology, in Paducah, KY, Benton, KY, Murray, KY, and Martin, TN.
Botox Explained
Every time you smile or make a facial expression, the muscles under your skin contract. Over time, these repetitive movements, along with the effects of harsh UV rays, damage the skin's surface, forming permanent lines and wrinkles. Botox (Botulinum toxin) is a neurotoxin injected into the skin to stop muscle contractions, effectively blocking the nerve signals, so that wrinkles are no longer visible on the surface of the skin. With precise application from our trained providers, you will still be able to express yourself and not have a "frozen" appearance.
Botox Benefits
Though everyone wants the best results for their skin, many patients prefer to avoid plastic surgery whenever possible. Botox is a way to bypass invasive surgical procedures to make the skin look younger. Additional benefits include:
- Fast, long-lasting results (some patients see an improvement almost immediately).
- No cutting involved! Minor bruising, temporarily swelling and redness can occur.
- Botox is a great representation of a "no downtime" procedure.
Most people can return to work or activities, with the benefit of others being unable to tell a procedure was done.
Botox Effects
You can expect to see reduced wrinkles and smoother skin within 7-14 days of your visit. The results of Botox typically last three to four months, at which point you can schedule another appointment to keep wrinkles at bay. Over time, some patients notice that they don't need treatments as regularly to maintain their new appearance.
