Wrinkles are an unavoidable fact of life. As you age, various lifestyle and environmental factors will impact the appearance of your face. Like increased wisdom and experience, this is a natural part of aging. Unlike wisdom and experience, however, wrinkles can leave you feeling unattractive, less youthful, and self conscious. Causes of Wrinkles As you age, the outer layer of your skin (epidermis) begins to thin. This thinning results in moisture loss, causing dryer, rougher skin. The second layer of your skin (dermis) also thins. This layer contains the proteins, and elastin fibers that give your face its youthful spring and elasticity. As surface area decreases, the ability for the dermis to supply the epidermis with sufficient nutrients to maintain its youthful appearance is significantly decreased, resulting in the appearance of fine lines. This process is sped up by sun exposure, smoking, and other lifestyle choices. How BOTOX® can Help BOTOX® Cosmetic is a purified form of the Clostridium botulinum bacterium, developed through years of research and study. It is injected into the muscles around wrinkles causing the tissue to relax, resulting in a smooth, wrinkle free appearance. BOTOX® Cosmetic is a non-surgical facial rejuvenation procedure that has been proven incredibly effective in reducing the appearance of wrinkles in the forehead, around the mouth and eyes, and in between the eyebrows. Side Effects BOTOX® has no adverse effect on facial expressions. Your natural range of motion and emotional expression will not be impacted in any way with this procedure, and the positive results of youthful, wrinkle free skin are immediate. However, you should not have BOTOX® Cosmetic injected into an infected area of the skin, and certain prescription drugs are contraindicated for use with BOTOX® Cosmetic. You should discuss all medications you are on with your cosmetic surgeon prior to BOTOX® Cosmetic procedures. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should also avoid BOTOX® Cosmetic injections. How Long Will the Results Last The reduction in visible wrinkles and renewed youthful appearance of your skin will last up to six months. BOTOX® Cosmetic injections are safe and non-surgical, so you can repeat the treatment as soon as you start to notice the reappearance of lines. An effective tool in restoring a youthful appearance, BOTOX® is a reliable, noninvasive tool in boosting self confidence and beauty.
