Dermal and Botox® fillers can provide various psychological and physical benefits to people of all ages. BOTOX fillers can be used to eliminate wrinkles and make you look younger without having to get oral surgery. These fillers can be part of a non-invasive way to tackle some of the challenges that come with aging by paralyzing muscles below the eye and forehead to remove wrinkles and fine lines.
The benefits of BOTOX injections can go beyond improving physical appearance. BOTOX injections can also treat myriad health and dental problems, including issues with the temporomandibular joints caused by overactive muscles, muscular dysfunction, eye twitching, neck pain, bladder issues, and excessive sweating underneath the armpits.
While most people think of BOTOX as primarily a cosmetic treatment, it was first developed and primarily used to treat health problems. For example, it was intended to treat issues like crossed eyes, but researchers noticed that injecting the forehead muscles with BOTOX also reduced wrinkling in the brow.
BOTOX treatments work by injecting a neurotoxin into the patient’s muscles. It temporarily paralyzes the muscles where injected.
Fillers add more volume to areas of a person’s face that have lost volume due to aging. As a result, it makes skin appear plumper and helps reduce sagginess. The benefits of treatment with BOTOX injections and fillers include the following.
BOTOX gives patients an effective way to reduce signs of aging, like wrinkles, without having to get surgical treatment. The injection paralyzes muscles in the forehead, preventing the patient from wrinkling their brow. This process makes them appear younger.
The effects of these injections can last up to six months before patients need a follow-up treatment. Long-term use of BOTOX can lead to fewer wrinkles and other aging signs from developing on a person’s face.
BOTOX injections can enable patients to eliminate signs of aging without having to go under a knife. These treatments can also be combined with dermal fillers for improved results. The filler plumps up areas that have lost volume due to aging, while BOTOX paralyzes the muscles that create creases and wrinkles. BOTOX fillers can also provide a non-surgical approach to treating various health issues, like migraines, eye twitching, and an overactive bladder.
A person’s facial expression can affect their current mood. The brain sends signals to the entire body when experiencing feelings like sadness, anger, and fear, which can lead to muscle tension, resulting in fine lines and wrinkles forming on the face.
BOTOX restricts a muscle’s ability to contract, which can relax the nervous system. In addition, it makes it harder to feel negative emotions, which can affect the patient’s physiology.
Many treatments do not follow conventional ways. The use of BOTOX is not unheard of in the field of medicine. Many researchers have conducted studies to find out more ways to use BOTOX in medicine.
The most common use of BOTOX is to remove forehead lines, frown lines, and crow’s feet. The process does not take long. It only requires a few minutes to inject the treatment. Good candidates for BOTOX treatment include those between the ages of 18 and 65, those with cosmetic concerns or dental conditions such as TMJ, those seeking non-invasive treatment for their skin, and those in good physical and psychological condition.
While side effects and complications are rare, they can happen. Patients may experience minor symptoms, including slight discomfort, headache, swelling, muscle weakness, and bruising. As a precaution, a patient should stop using anti-coagulants at least two weeks before the injection to minimize the possibility of bruising.
We provide patients with pre-treatment instructions to prevent discomfort and possible side effects during and after treatment. We will also discuss after-care practices, including what to avoid and how to care for the treated area to help with healing and recovery. For example, patients should generally avoid touching, rubbing, or itching the treated area for at least 24 hours. In addition, patients should contact their provider immediately if any extreme symptoms, such as persistent redness or swelling, arise at any point after treatment.
