Botox is one-way Charlotte, NC residents can get rid of wrinkles. Wrinkles are one of the first signs of aging people start to experience. Wrinkles in the forehead and around the eyes can leave people looking older than they are, and feeling self conscious about their appearance. Thankfully, your dermatologist can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles, leaving you looking younger and feeling more confident than ever.
How it works
So, how does Botox reduce and eliminate wrinkles? Your physician will inject Botox directly into the muscles that are causing your wrinkles. This solution blocks the transmission of nerve impulses, which reduces that muscle’s activity, preventing it from being able to form a wrinkle.
The treatment
Having Botox is a relatively quick and easy procedure, in fact, it usually only takes about 10 minutes to complete. Your dermatologist may administer a topical numbing agent before the injection to help keep you comfortable. After your treatment, you can return to normal activities.
The results
One of the reasons Botox is so popular is because people can see results relatively quickly. Most patients start to see a difference within improvement within four to seven days, with results continuing to show improvement for up to a month.
However, Botox is not a permanent solution and patients will need to be prepared to continue having the treatment performed to maintain your results. One treatment can last for about four months, meaning you may need multiple injections per year to keep your skin wrinkle-free. Your dermatologist can discuss what you can expect from your treatment in more detail with you.
