There’s not a person on Earth who won’t look in the mirror at some point and ask, “What happened?!” As time marches on, our faces show its effects, from fine lines to crow’s feet and frown lines (those pesky vertical lines between your brows).
These wrinkles are known as dynamic ones. They develop as a result of moving our facial muscles many, many times throughout the decades, when we smile, frown, and squint, for example. The other type is static wrinkles, which emerge over time and remain on your face whether you’re moving it or not. They stem from a loss of collagen and elastin in your skin (two critical proteins that give skin resilience) and facial movement.
The good news is that Botox®, the revolutionary injectable treatment, can smooth and tame those dynamic wrinkles for an extended period, which is why it’s become such a popular anti-aging go-to.
At Primary Care Walk-In Clinic, our team of providers offers a range of advanced aesthetics treatments, including Botox. They can discuss whether Botox is right for you, what the treatment experience is like, and more. They’re experts in their field of course, but they also treat you with compassion and consider themselves partners in your care.
This month is a perfect time to treat yourself to a Botox treatment, so you’re looking great for Valentine’s Day — whether you’ve already found that special someone or you’re looking for one!
Interestingly, Botox is made with the same type of toxin that causes an illness called botulism. However, the purified form of botulinum toxin that’s used for medical purposes and was FDA-approved over two decades ago is completely safe for use in aesthetics treatments.
Botox has the ability to block the chemical signals from your nerves that tell your facial muscles to contract. Because of this, your facial muscles aren’t continuously wrinkling, yet you still look natural and like yourself. Botox treatment both smooths wrinkles and prevents them.
When you come to Primary Care Walk-In Clinic for Botox treatment, which is typically brief, we may apply a numbing cream to your treatment area so you feel comfortable throughout the process. Because treatment has also been perfected over the years, we can use extremely thin, fine needles to enhance your experience.
Though you may feel a slight pinch during treatment, it’s tolerable and quick, and there’s no post-treatment downtime — all of these advantages are what make Botox so sought after — still.
Our patients are consistently impressed with the many areas that Botox smooths on their faces. After treatment, they feel renewed, look rejuvenated, and the results are long-lasting, up to four months.
Botox addresses a wide range of aging challenges:
Botox treatment can be used by itself, or it can be complemented with dermal filler treatment, which adds volume to your face where you need it.
In this month of romance, give your face some love — and boost your confidence — by getting Botox treatment so you can look as fabulous as you feel!
