BOTOX® injections are used to prevent and treat wrinkles. It’s become increasingly popular over the last few years. People have also been using it in their 20s to prevent lasting damage.
Although the treatment is temporary, you can continue injection treatments to receive the same results. Here’s a guide on what BOTOX® can be used for, the benefits, and how often you have to get injections.
What Can You Use BOTOX® for?
BOTOX® has many cosmetic uses for men and women that can improve the appearance of your skin. It can help smooth the skin on your face and neck, including:
- Lines on your forehead
- Crow’s feet
- Frown lines
- Lip lines
- Corner of mouth
- Neck
- Chin
Although the injections can help smooth skin, they may not fix every type of wrinkle, such as those caused by the sun. There are several benefits to using BOTOX® injections for cosmetic purposes, including:
- It is a non-invasive treatment
- The entire procedure is fast, about 15 minutes per injection treatment
- The results come very quickly
- The results usually last several months
- You and your provider create a custom plan for your goals and needs
- Costs are relatively low
How Many Treatments Will You Need?
The results of BOTOX® injections are quick, usually about three to seven days. People are getting treated to smooth and soften age lines, and the treatment is quick. Prevention injections will show a natural-looking relaxation of the muscles where the injection is.
It’s difficult to tell how many treatments of BOTOX® someone will need, as each person is different. Their muscle and skin characteristics are unique, so the treatments are individualized. It also depends on whether you are doing preventative treatments or caring for wrinkles already there.
After your first injection, you’ll see a fast improvement and look younger and less wrinkled.
