Are you concerned about your personal appearance? Do you want to prevent worry lines from creasing your face in a few short years? Then you may be a good candidate for preventative Botox.
Botox is a tried and true product that has been used by celebrities and everyday men and women who want to love the way they look. Botox injections can help you maintain the beautiful face that you’ve come to appreciate.
We want to talk about what preventative Botox is, how it is used, and when is the best age to start preventative Botox.
What Is Botox?
Botox is a drug that medical professionals use to treat wrinkles and creases on the face. Botox works by blocking signals from the nerves to the rest of the muscles, thus preventing the muscles from contracting. Botox injections can make muscles relax, which allows wrinkles on the face to soften and relax also. Botox can be used to treat frown lines, crow’s feet, and other wrinkles caused by muscle contraction.
Is Botox Safe?
Botox is a safe product. Often people who use Botox experience mild side effects, or no side effects at all. Headaches are a common side effect of Botox, but these headaches typically go away after a few days. Botox should not be used by women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
What Is Preventative Botox?
Although many people seek Botox treatments after they’ve noticed wrinkle lines on their face, Botox is most effective when used before wrinkles ever appear. This preventative approach can keep your skin looking younger and youthful for longer. Most experts agree that mid to late 20s and into the early 30s is a great age to start preventative Botox treatments.
If you’re in this age bracket and have started to notice the fine lines that mimic those older than you, then it may be time to start treatment.
Are There Any Wrinkles Botox Can’t Treat?
It’s important to note that Botox cannot be used to treat wrinkles from sun exposure or gravity. Your healthcare professional should be able to help you determine whether Botox will be effective for your wrinkles.
The Dangers of Too Much Botox
You can always get too much of a good thing. Less is more, especially when it comes to Botox usage. Botox in small doses enables your face to remain animated and expressive, which is itself a youthful quality. The “frozen face” appearance that some people experience from overuse of Botox injections can make the face look older.
You can avoid this problem by only getting your injections from an experienced professional. At Weninger Dentistry, we can help.
