Botox Spokane

Everything from sun damage to aging, and even hereditary factors can lead to wrinkles on the neck and face. Wrinkles are a fact of life, but that doesn’t mean that you have to live with them. Regardless of their cause, wrinkles can change the way you look and even affect your self-esteem and confidence.

Many people believe that a facelift is the only option to wash away signs of aging, but that isn’t accurate. Several injectable treatments are available when you visit Sand Plastic Surgery. One of the most popular at our clinic in Spokane: Botox. It can create amazing effects on the neck and face without the need for invasive surgery.

What Is Botox?

Botox is a neuromodulator made up of botulinum toxin type A. It’s an injectable anti-aging solution that fights off wrinkles, especially those associated with frowning, squinting, laughing, or smiling. Botox works by temporarily blocking the nerve signals in these small facial muscles, preventing contractions that cause wrinkles.

After Botox injection, the muscles are paralyzed. This causes facial folds, creases, and lines to smooth out to show off a relaxed and youthful facial expression.

Botox is used around the globe as a way to fight the signs of aging. In some situations, it can even prevent wrinkles from forming at all. In addition, Botox boosts the production of elastin and collagen, both of which are proteins that keep the skin looking radiant and healthy.

What Can Botox Help With?

Botox injections can be used for many issues of the neck and face without an extended recovery period or the need for invasive procedures. There is very little downtown so you can get right back to everyday life after your treatment is complete. In addition, Botox injections take very little time. Depending on the treatment area, sessions may take from 15 to 30 minutes.

Some of the things that Botox treats include:

• Crow’s feet
• Forehead lines
• Glabellar lines
• Gummy smiles
• Laugh lines
• Lip lines
• Marionette lines
• Mouth creases
• Wrinkles

The Benefits of Botox Cosmetic Treatments

Some of the most commonly cited benefits of Botox are that it’s entirely safe, requires no surgery, and is almost completely noninvasive. As you can see above, it has dozens of uses when you want to turn back the clock and have more youthful skin. Since it’s a simple set of injections, it requires no incisions or anesthesia and creates no scars.

Getting Botox is nearly painless and there is no recovery time associated with it. This simple procedure can correct creases, lines, and wrinkles on the face and neck. It’s one of the least invasive methods to give you a youthful face. Botox provides an inviting and attractive appearance while enhancing your self-confidence.

Another of the largest benefits of Botox cosmetic treatments is that they can be combined with several other treatments. For instance, using Botox with dermal fillers can give you the same outstanding anti-aging results but they will last longer than either procedure on its own.

Who Is the Best Candidate for Botox?

If you want a transformative solution that beats out anti-aging lotions, creams, and serums, Botox could be the perfect choice. It’s ideal for those who prefer something less invasive than a facelift. This treatment is recommended for patients who have a large number of wrinkles near the forehead and eyes.

The main requirements for Botox injections include being both physically and mentally healthy, as well as having realistic expectations about what this treatment can provide.

On the other hand, those who are allergic to any of the ingredients in the injectable should not have Botox done. The same applies if you have an infection in the area where you are seeking treatment. People with nerve disorders like myasthenia gravis and ALS should not have Botox done. It should also be avoided by people who are breastfeeding or pregnant.

What to Expect Following a Botox Session

Since Botox is noninvasive, there is no anesthesia to slow you down after treatment. You can immediately return to your normal busy lifestyle. Some people even have Botox done during a lunch break and get right back to work.

You may experience tenderness, bruising, or mild swelling at the area of the injection. These are typical side effects and tend to disappear in a few hours or by the next day. Avoid massaging, touching, or rubbing the skin directly after the treatment process.
