Soften facial dynamic wrinkles

BOTOX is a purified neurotoxin derived from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. When injected in small doses, it temporarily relaxes targeted muscles by blocking nerve signals, helping reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. BOTOX is commonly used to address dynamic wrinkles such as crow’s feet, forehead lines, and frown lines. Results generally last about 3 to 4 months, offering a minimally invasive option for a smoother, youthful-looking complexion.

How does BOTOX work?

BOTOX temporarily inhibits the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter responsible for muscle contraction. When injected into specific facial muscles, BOTOX blocks acetylcholine, relaxing the muscles and reducing the appearance of expression lines, such as crow’s feet and frown lines.

Can BOTOX really delay or prevent new wrinkles?

Some studies suggest that regular BOTOX injections may delay the formation of new wrinkles in areas prone to expression lines. By relaxing muscles, BOTOX minimizes repetitive movements that contribute to wrinkle formation over time, especially in dynamic areas affected by facial expressions. Early BOTOX treatments may help soften existing wrinkles or prevent them from deepening, though results vary by individual.

What happens during the BOTOX treatment?

At Serotonin Centers, your provider will cleanse the treatment area before administering BOTOX with a fine needle into targeted facial muscles. You may feel slight discomfort, often described as a quick pinching sensation. The procedure typically takes a few minutes, and you can resume most activities immediately after.

Side effects and recovery after BOTOX

After BOTOX, you may notice mild side effects like temporary redness, bruising, or swelling at injection sites. These effects generally subside within a few hours to days. Avoid rubbing the treated area to reduce the risk of spreading the product. Strenuous activity should be avoided for 24 hours following treatment.

BOTOX results: onset and longevity

Most individuals notice the effects of BOTOX within 3 to 7 days, with optimal results visible within two weeks. Results usually last about 3 to 4 months, depending on individual factors and treatment areas. Follow-up treatments are recommended as effects diminish to help maintain a refreshed appearance.
