What is BOTOX®?
BOTOX® is a purified toxin that is injected into facial muscles to relax them and smooth out wrinkles. BOTOX® is a popular treatment because it is minimally invasive and has little-to-no downtime. If you’re considering BOTOX® injections, contact Genesis Advanced Medical Aesthetics today!
How Long Does BOTOX® Last?
BOTOX® is a popular treatment for wrinkles and fine lines. The results are not permanent, but they are long-lasting. In general, BOTOX® lasts 3-4 months. There will certainly be patients in which it lasts longer, in that 4–6-month range, or shorter, in that 2-month range. It is also common for first timers to notice that it may not last as long initially but may last longer after the second treatment. BOTOX® is a safe and effective treatment when administered by a qualified professional such as Cecille at Genesis, who is a registered nurse. For best results, follow up treatments may be necessary.
At What Age Should You Consider BOTOX®?
BOTOX® is a popular cosmetic treatment that can help to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. While BOTOX® is most associated with older adults, there is no set age at which patients should start getting BOTOX® injections. The decision of when to start BOTOX® treatments depends on several individual factors, including the patient’s skin type and the amount of sun damage they have sustained. In general, patients who have more sun damage may benefit from starting BOTOX® treatments in their late twenties or early thirties, while those with less sun damage may be able to wait until they are closer to age 40. Ultimately, the decision of when to start BOTOX® treatments should be made in consultation with a qualified professional.
