Preventative Botox: Worth The Hype?

REJUVENATION MEDICAL AESTHETICS

What is Botox?

Botox is a simple, non-surgical treatment that relaxes the muscle and smooths the deep, persistent lines in your forehead, brow, and crow's feet area.

Botox works best with dynamic wrinkles that appear when making facial expressions.

Botox is the most frequently performed cosmetic procedure in the United States, according to American Family Physician.

Rid Wrinkles Before They Form

We all know that Botox helps to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, but does getting Botox as a preventative measure allow you to avoid wrinkle formation altogether? Many people start getting Botox once the wrinkles on their faces start to bother them. Recently, there has been an ongoing trend of younger people in their twenties starting to get small doses of Botox so that the wrinkles never begin to develop in the first place.

Rather than treating wrinkles once they develop, preventive Botox gets to the problem before it even arises. Did you ever notice how some people never seem to age? If the wrinkles never have the ability to develop, the face remains youthful for much longer.

Tighten & Smooth

Preventative Botox has all of the benefits that regular Botox has, tightening the face and providing a smoother look. So, why not try it?

"Preventative Botox involves using Botox to prevent the formation of lines and wrinkles, rather than in a corrective way once lines and wrinkles are already established when treatment is often less successful," explains the founder of Illuminate Skin Clinic, Dr. Shophie Shotter, to Harper's Bazaar. "You can see where lines are going to develop, but they aren't yet there at rest."

Easy To Maintain

In one 10-minute treatment, you've set yourself up for months without wrinkles or the start of wrinkle formation. Results last three to four months and can last longer with repeated injections. Botox treatments are low-risk, low-pain, and extremely effective!

After treatment, you can return to your daily activities. There may be some redness near the injection sites, which will dissipate in a few hours. It is important not to exercise, lie flat, or touch your face after Botox. It can take up to two weeks to see the full effects, but most people see a significant difference within about a week.

When Should I Start?

The best thing about preventative Botox is that you can start whenever you feel comfortable! Clients over 18 can enjoy the benefits of Botox and feel confident knowing that their wrinkle-less faces will last for years to come.

So... Is It Worth It?

Yes! If you want to prevent wrinkles from forming in the first place and keep your skin looking younger for longer, what are you waiting for? Preventative Botox will give you just that.
