Botox is injected into lines between your eyebrows. Botox can also be used to treat crow’s feet and forehead wrinkles. In use for over 20 years, Botox is a neurotoxin that when injected into the face relaxes certain muscles. This then relaxes fine lines and wrinkles to smooth the skin. Dr. Christine Lee in Walnut Creek utilizes Botox to treat lines.
To ensure the best results, it is important to remember these tips for a positive Botox experience:
- Find an experienced doctor. A doctor with experience with facial procedures is trained to know the structure of the face to understand where and how to inject Botox to give the best outcome.
- Be honest and realistic with your doctor. Let your doctor know your expectations as well as your medical history with Botox and injectables. Your doctor will use your history and expectations to determine the number of units needed.
- Schedule your appointment a few weeks before a big event. The effects of Botox take approximately five days to appear.
- Stay upright for 2-4 hours following your appointment. It is possible for Botox to migrate to other areas of the face. To ensure proper placement, doctors recommend avoiding physical activity for a few hours following your treatment.
There is no “right” age
Botox is successful for both men and women. Some patients start preventative treatments as early as their twenties to avoid deeper wrinkles. Others start when wrinkles have fully developed. There is no right age. Botox still works to relax the muscles and smooth wrinkles.
