Do unwanted lines and wrinkles have you feeling down? Are you tired of trying topical creams and serums with little to no improvement in your skin? If topical products are no longer giving you the relief that you want, it may be time for the next step, which is BOTOX®, a minimally-invasive treatment that has proven itself to be incredibly safe and effective since it was approved by the FDA.

BOTOX® merely affects the nerves that run to the smallest muscles of the face that lie directly below the skin. With these nerves no longer giving off impulses, the muscles no longer can contract when you make a facial expression. Therefore, they will not let your skin crinkle up over these muscles.

Although the scientific basis for BOTOX® may be confusing to you, you have probably seen how well it has worked on the face of someone you know. Because BOTOX® is the number one cosmetic treatment used around the world, there are tens of thousands of men and women who use it regularly. Whereas it used to have the reputation of occasionally causing a frozen face, you no longer have to worry about that happening when you choose one of our amazingly knowledgeable professionals at our clinic. Our practitioners will use only the smallest possible dose that will work for you. This will give you the positive effects without leaving you with unpleasant side effects.

Erasing your unwanted lines and wrinkles with BOTOX® is fast and easy. Our treatments are perfect for busy adults of many different ages, from those in their twenties who want to prevent fine lines from appearing on their faces to older adults who want to look years younger. Although your initial consultation will take longer as we get to know you, your skin and your needs, follow-up treatments should only take minutes.

You may still have questions about BOTOX®, or you may feel ready to schedule you first appointment. In these cases, we invite you to call us at Laser Skin Solutions Jacksonville and find a consultation time that works best for you. Contact us today to book your appointment in Jacksonville Beach.

Some of the dreaded signs of aging on the face include fine wrinkles, smile lines, and tiny creases near the eyes. BOTOX® is a popular treatment for addressing these issues because it is suitable for all skin types and skin textures. It doesn’t involve treating the skin directly, but rather affects the muscles. Smoother skin with fewer wrinkles and fine lines is possible merely by relaxing certain facial muscles.

The Science Behind BOTOX®

Our facial expressions are created when upper-level muscles contract. This pulls the skin in one direction or another, or it simply causes the skin to relax and fold. When we’re young, the skin is healthy and supple, and the movement of muscles doesn’t produce dynamic wrinkling. That changes as we age and mature.

BOTOX® treatment allows us to keep right on smiling without the fear of creating fine lines and wrinkles. This is accomplished through the relaxation of certain muscles in the face. Smiling and frowning can be performed just as easily as before treatment, but the lines and wrinkles don’t appear.

Consultation and Treatment

During a consultation at our office, we examine the client’s face and determine whether or not BOTOX® is the right treatment. During the actual treatment, the BOTOX® solution is skillfully injected into preselected areas.

The full effect of BOTOX® takes some time to manifest, usually between three days and two weeks. Properly administered, BOTOX® is effective in keeping the facial muscles relaxed for up to three to four months. Repeat injections can then be scheduled on a regular basis. Over time, the facial muscles become trained to stay relaxed, so less of the injectable fluid is needed during subsequent treatments.

Advantages Over Other Cosmetic Treatments

Unlike other treatments, BOTOX® is suitable for all skin types and skin tones because the skin itself isn’t being treated. Another advantage is the fact that the treatment is entirely non-surgical. There is no downtime involved after the treatment.

BOTOX® is a treatment that can be used to smooth the facial skin so that dynamic wrinkles like crow’s feet don’t appear, making you look years younger. The secret to BOTOX® is how the purified protein solution works to affect the nerves that control facial muscles. As a result, the muscles are temporarily relaxed.

This is a simple, non-surgical cosmetic procedure that can help you restore your self-confidence. Nobody likes those annoying smile lines and tiny dynamic wrinkles that form when the face is contorted into a frown, smile or other expression. Smoother facial skin is realized after a single BOTOX® treatment.

What are the Benefits?

A surgical facelift procedure is rather complicated and involves repositioning of skin and subdermal tissues. Many individuals simply aren’t ready for such a procedure and, therefore, look to simpler alternatives. BOTOX® is suitable for all skin types because it doesn’t use plumping compounds, bleaching agents or abrasive crystals. It does not involve surgery of any kind.

The most common facial skin problems in mature adults include tiny wrinkles that form around the perimeter of the mouth and eyes. These become much more apparent when the facial muscles are contracted, and that is why they are referred to as dynamic wrinkles. BOTOX® smooths the skin in these areas by allowing the facial muscles to remain quite relaxed. The individual can still frown and smile, and the sensitivity of the facial skin remains unaffected.

These treatments have another advantage over other procedures. The facial muscles actually become trained to stay relaxed. This means that subsequent BOTOX® treatments require the use of less and less of the solution.

How BOTOX® Works to Eliminate Dynamic Wrinkles

We consult with the client and ask that several facial expressions be made. Smiling and frowning allows us to see where the wrinkling occurs and also lets us determine the proper injection sites.

During the treatment itself, the solution is skillfully injected beneath the preselected area. The fluid goes to work to affect the nerve endings that control muscle contractions. The full effect of the BOTOX® solution takes place over the next three or four days. Afterwards, the client can still smile, frown or make other expressions, but the facial skin remains smooth. The result is less dynamic wrinkling.

There is no downtime after a BOTOX® treatment. The client can resume most normal activities at once. These treatments can be repeated as necessary at our office.
