Unveiling the Power of Botox® Cosmetics: Address Your Forehead Lines, Crow’s Feet, and Wrinkles Between the Brows
Over time, you may have noticed formerly dynamic wrinkles on the forehead (apparent only when making a facial expression) are suddenly static – they appear even when your face is at rest. Alternatively, you may have observed subtle lines deepening. These changes may make you look angry, tired, or older than your actual age. Led by Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Steven J. Clark, the Bluewater Plastic Surgery team in Niceville, Florida, can fortunately restore your youthful and radiant appearance – without surgery!
Botox® Cosmetic is designed to treat these standard expression lines. In fact, it is the only injectable treatment of its kind approved by the FDA to treat the lines on the forehead, around the eyes, and between the eyebrows.
How does Botox® work?
Botox® Cosmetic belongs to a category of nonsurgical procedures formulated with botulinum toxin. These products are injected with very thin needles into specific parts of the face. Once injected, they block the nerve signals that tell a muscle to contract. Since frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead wrinkles arise due to the repeated muscle activity associated with facial expressions, a muscle that remains relaxed and at rest does not produce a crease, line, or wrinkle.
Will it hurt?
Botox® is very well tolerated. In fact, it is so comfortable that anesthesia is not required. If you have concerns about pain or discomfort during the injections, we can discuss strategies to ensure a comfortable experience. Your ultimate comfort is our priority.
Will my face look frozen?
With our professionals’ expertise, Botox® is precisely injected into the appropriate facial muscles among the dozens present. We also use just the right amount of Botox® to effectively soften lines without causing a frozen appearance. Working with an experienced provider reduces risks and enhances natural-looking results. Our patients continue to “look like themselves,” only more rested, healthy, and energetic.
When can I see the results?
You may notice improvements just a few days after your first injections. However, seeing the full effects may take up to seven to ten days. It should be noted that the results from Botox®, while natural and attractive, are still temporary. We will discuss maintenance injections with you. Bluewater Plastic Surgery also partners closely with patients in Niceville and Miramar Beach, FL, to support the long-term results from treatment with things like good skin care.
To maintain softened crow’s feet, frown lines, and forehead wrinkles, it may take three treatment sessions per year. To find out more, schedule a consultation. Call us at (850) 530-6064 today.
