How to Get the Most Out of My BOTOX® Cosmetic Treatment

Wrinkles can severely detract from your facial appearance. And what makes wrinkles even more frustrating is that they can show up at any age. That is because dynamic wrinkles are some of the most common types of skin imperfections on the face. Dynamic wrinkles are creases in the skin caused from continuous muscle contractions. These wrinkles can appear on the forehead, between the brows, and around the eyes and are caused from facial expressions and squinting. While you can be frustrated about dynamic wrinkles, the good news is that BOTOX® Cosmetic can help get rid of those wrinkles to give you the smooth skin you desire. But your facial improvements don’t need to be limited to those pesky dynamic wrinkles. Below, we will explore several different ways that you can enhance your overall aesthetic along with your BOTOX® Cosmetic injections.

What Are BOTOX® Cosmetic Injections?

BOTOX® Cosmetic is a neuromodulator that is composed of botulinum toxin-A. Essentially, the BOTOX® Cosmetic solution immobilizes nerves in the injected muscle to eliminate any muscle contractions. BOTOX® Cosmetic is an injectable treatment that can be used in numerous areas of the face. Not only can you achieve smooth and youthful skin after your treatment, BOTOX® Cosmetic is one of the safest and most trusted injectable treatments available.

How to Add to Your Overall Aesthetic

BOTOX® Cosmetic injectable treatments can offer awesome results as a standalone treatment; however, by considering some of these other options, you can only enhance your results and improve your overall appearance

Combine BOTOX® Cosmetic With Other Treatments

While some people choose to undergo BOTOX® Cosmetic as a standalone treatment, it is a service that can be combined with other aesthetic enhancement treatments to help you achieve a more complete and balanced appearance to your face. One of the most effective combination treatments with BOTOX® Cosmetic is dermal filler injections. Like BOTOX® Cosmetic, dermal fillers are injectable treatments, and while they also can smooth the skin, injectable fillers (like JUVÉDERM® and Restylane®) can help to restore age-related volume loss. Most dermal fillers are made of hyaluronic acid (HA), which work by attracting and retaining moisture in the skin. This can allow you to achieve the attractive facial appearance that you desire.

Diet and Exercise for a Healthy Overall Aesthetic

By now, we all know about the importance and benefits of eating healthy, keeping yourself hydrated with drinking plenty of water, and exercising regularly. And while it may seem like diet and exercise don’t have an effect on your facial skin, the reality is that keeping your body healthy will result in healthy skin. Additionally, smooth facial skin will help you look even better if you are in good general health.

Maintenance Treatments for Long-Lasting Results

While your BOTOX® Cosmetic results can be stunning and transformative to your overall appearance, the reality is that these results only last for three to four months. After this time, the botulinum toxin-A begins to naturally wear off, and you will see dynamic wrinkles beginning to appear again. However, by undergoing maintenance injections of BOTOX® Cosmetic, you can make sure that your facial skin is wrinkle-free for as long as you want.
