Do you get wrinkles between your brows when you frown or crow’s feet when you smile? These expression lines form where your facial muscles crease and wrinkle your skin. Botox® relaxes these facial muscles so your skin looks smooth and de-stressed. It can even keep muscles relaxed to prevent lines from forming.
What is Botox®?
Botox® is an injectable form of a neurotoxin called botulinum toxin. This compound works in tiny doses to target muscles that cause expression lines and wrinkles. Botox® works on the nerves that cause facial muscles to contract. It temporarily interrupts nerve and muscle communication, halting the muscle contractions. Without the effects of muscle tension and activity, your lines and wrinkles can relax.
Top Five Benefits of Botox®
At Manhattan Aesthetics, we love Botox® for many reasons, and so do many of our guests. This widely used, popular treatment is one of the easiest, most effective ways to look more youthful and relaxed.
Botox® is Safe
Botox® has been FDA-approved for aesthetic uses since 2002, but its medical uses go back even further. It has been the subject of numerous research studies demonstrating its safety. While the name “botulinum toxin” may sound alarming, this compound does not harm your nerves or muscles, and the effect disappears when it wears off.
Botox® Has Many Uses
You may be aware of the most common aesthetic uses for Botox®, including between the brows, forehead wrinkles, and crow’s feet. However, it can treat lines, wrinkles, and other concerns all over the face and neck. Botox® also has many medical uses, including migraines and eye muscle conditions.
Botox® Has No Downtime
You can return to your daily activities after Botox® without downtime. Some people experience minor bruising, bleeding, or swelling in the treatment area, but these usually resolve within a day or two. You can get Botox® in the middle of a workday and return to your activities without delay.
Botox® Looks Natural
With your experienced Manhattan Aesthetics injector, your Botox® results will look relaxed and natural. When properly injected, Botox® produces results that look like you but younger and less stressed. Having Botox® at a reputable facility is essential to achieving your desired results.
Botox® Can Prevent Lines
You most likely know that Botox® can smooth lines and wrinkles, but it also prevents them. This process, sometimes called “Baby Botox®,” treats the earliest signs of skin creasing to prevent lines from developing. Preventing these wrinkles has effects that can last many years into the future of your skin.
3 Reasons to Try Botox®
Neurotoxins like Botox® are among the many anti-aging treatments we offer at Manhattan Aesthetics. Our providers can help you look and feel years younger with various treatments tailored to your unique facial structure, aging concerns, and aesthetic preferences. If you’re on the fence about whether or not it’s time to give Botox® a try, here are three reasons to consider scheduling your first treatment.
1: An Easy, Convenient, Safe Treatment
Want to fight back against signs of aging and feel more confident in your appearance but don’t want to risk an invasive procedure? Or don’t have time for a lengthy, uncomfortable recovery?
With Botox®, you can be in and out of our office in less than an hour and return to your daily routine without downtime. This includes the time for us to apply a topical numbing cream so you won’t feel any discomfort during the injections. At Manhattan Aesthetics, Botox® treatments are fast, pain-free, and convenient.
2: Proven Safety
Botox® Cosmetic has been around for decades. It’s been rigorously tested and remains one of the most popular cosmetic treatments. Botox® is FDA-approved to treat frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines, and it’s proven effective for various other uses too. You can rest easy receiving Botox® from our experienced providers at Manhattan Aesthetics.
3: Helps Prevent Fine Lines and Wrinkles
Though it’s usually used to smooth out lines and wrinkles, Botox® can also be a preventative measure against signs of aging. Many patients in their 20s and 30s receive Botox® to treat early wrinkles and prevent new ones from forming.
Am I a Good Candidate for Botox®?
Almost anyone makes a good candidate for Botox®. This safe, effective treatment can reduce or prevent lines, wrinkles, and other signs of aging. You should not have Botox® if you are pregnant, have a skin infection in the injection area, or have certain medical conditions.
