Have you been seeking a non-surgical way to combat looking exhausted? As we get older, our skin begins to lose its elasticity, leading to the formation of fine lines and wrinkles.
Wrinkle relaxers, like Botox®, block the muscle from contracting to minimize the appearance of wrinkles you already have and prevent new ones from forming. Dr. Tenley K. Lawton has been using Botox® Cosmetic injections for years to gracefully minimize the effects of aging with no recovery or downtime.
Botox® is a brand name of a toxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. This minimally invasive treatment freezes the muscles in targeted areas, allowing wrinkles to relax and soften, which helps prevent new ones from forming. Botox® can treat the following dynamic wrinkles typically caused by facial expressions:
These treatments are great for maintaining a natural, youthful appearance.
Since it doesn’t require anesthesia, you can expect to resume your normal activities immediately following the less than the 30-minute procedure. In the hands of an experienced plastic surgeon, like board-certified Dr. Lawton, bruising is less likely. Any residual swelling caused by the procedure should be gone within a few hours. You should avoid rubbing or massaging the treated areas, so the toxin doesn’t migrate outside of the treatment area.
Noticeably smoother skin is attained within 4-7 days but may take up to two weeks for some patients. You may be concerned with appearing “frozen”, but these effects are avoided when treated by Newport Beach Botox specialist Dr. Lawton.
Results can last 3 to 4 months depending on: the location of the injection, the amount of Botox® injected, your age, the elasticity of your skin, and wrinkle depth. Botox® Cosmetic works to relax and weaken muscles over time. As a result, the more often you receive Botox®, the fewer treatments you’ll need to achieve the same effect. Patients have reported results lasting up to six months with regular treatments.
Keeping your skin healthy can be beneficial in preventing new wrinkles. A few steps you can take are:
Dr. Lawton may advise you on additional ways to protect your skin.
Men and women over the age of 21 seeking to reduce the visibility of lines and wrinkles are ideal candidates. Patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding or have certain neuromuscular conditions should avoid muscle relaxing injections.
Receiving Botox® Cosmetic treatments too soon can produce “overdone” results. To determine how frequently you can safely receive injections, schedule a consultation with Dr. Tenley K. Lawton. As an experienced surgeon, she can work with you to customize the best treatment plan for natural-looking results.
