Top Three Reasons to Try Botox® for the First Time
Every year, many people try Botox® for the first time. While you will have your reasons, these three can help many people decide whether Botox® might be right for them.
Botox® is Safe for Almost Anyone
It makes sense to have concerns about the safety of any treatment. However, you can rest assured that Botox® is safe for most people. It has been FDA-approved for aesthetic uses since 2002 and for medical uses for longer.
Botox® Lets You Look Younger
People love Botox® because it can make you look noticeably younger without surgery. This injectable treatment reduces lines and wrinkles caused by repetitive facial motions. With the facial muscles relaxed, you look younger, more alert, and less concerned or frustrated.
Botox® Can Prevent Lines and Wrinkles
Botox® as a preventative treatment continues to grow in popularity. Sometimes called “Baby Botox®,” preventative Botox® usually begins when people notice expression lines that do not disappear when the face relaxes. Since Botox® keeps facial muscles relaxed, it prevents stress on the skin that causes wrinkles.
What are Botox® Injections Used For?
Botox® injections have numerous uses. In medicine, these include eyelid spasms, migraines, and hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating). They can also be used for:
- Horizontal forehead lines
- Vertical creases between the brows (glabellar lines or the 11s)
- Crow’s feet around the eyes
- Lines and wrinkles around the mouth
- A dimpled-looking chin
If you have questions about whether Botox® can treat your problem areas, we recommend a consultation with Dr. Lawton. She will establish which treatment will provide the desired results.
