As you get older, you may start to experience upsetting changes in your appearance. Seeing fine lines and wrinkles on your face can be especially difficult. These imperfections can make you look older and less vibrant. Fortunately, you can look as young as you feel by using Botox. At Physician Artistry in Sterling, Virginia, we use this excellent injectable treatment to reduce people’s wrinkles and smooth their skin. Read on to learn how this fantastic product can help you.
If you’re an impatient person who doesn’t like to wait for a long time to see positive changes in your skin, you’re in luck. Botox is an innovative injectable product that can quickly reduce the appearance of your wrinkles.
Unlike many other cosmetic treatments, this injectable product provides fast, noticeable results. Since everyone’s body is different, your individual results will vary. Further, some people need to receive several treatment sessions to obtain their desired changes. That said, many people will notice beneficial changes in their target area within three to five days after their appointments. Your skin may continue to improve for up to a month after your treatment.
This injectable treatment is excellent at improving wrinkles that are caused by repeated facial movements.
Every day, people make many facial expressions. People smile, frown, and furrow their brows. When you make a facial expression, your muscles will contract. Over time, this process can cause your skin to wrinkle and crease. We call these lines dynamic wrinkles. These wrinkles can be extremely upsetting because they are very difficult to prevent or control.
Even if you eat well, exercise, and take good care of yourself, you can develop these wrinkles at a relatively early age. Besides making you look older, dynamic wrinkles may make you look perpetually tired or upset.
Fortunately, you don’t have to accept the wrinkles caused by your facial expressions. This product can soften forehead lines, crow’s feet, frown lines, and other dynamic wrinkles. During your initial consultation, we will examine your skin. We can tell you whether this product can achieve improvements in your desired area.
This injectable product uses botulinum toxin type A to temporarily reduce the appearance of your wrinkles. Botulinum toxin type A is a protein that is purified from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. This injectable treatment is manufactured using an innovative process that removes excess proteins and creates a purified product.
Although this product sounds very complicated, understanding how it works is actually fairly simple. This treatment is a neuromodulator. As you might guess from their name, neuromodulators work by affecting your nerve signals. Once we inject the product in your target area, it will prevent your nerves from sending signals to your facial muscles.
Blocking the communication between your nerves and your facial muscles will decrease your muscles’ contractions. Your muscles will soften and relax. Relaxing your underlying muscles will improve the appearance of your facial wrinkles. Your crow’s feet, frown lines, and other dynamic wrinkles will look less prominent.
People love this injectable treatment because it’s so gentle. When you receive an invasive procedure, you often have to follow complex rules in the days and weeks before your appointment. In contrast, you don’t need to do very much to prepare to receive this injectable treatment.
You may improve your results if you follow some simple steps and rules before your appointment. In particular, we may ask you not to drink alcohol before your treatment. We may also ask you to avoid taking certain medicines and supplements, such as ibuprofen and aspirin.
This is a simple, minimally invasive treatment. You’ll be pleasantly surprised when you see how fast and easy your appointment is.
If you are concerned about your comfort, you can ask us to administer a topical anesthetic to your target area. This anesthetic can help you feel relaxed during your treatment. After we have applied this anesthetic, we will use a fine needle to inject the product into the muscles in your target area. This is a very quick process that usually only takes ten to twenty minutes.
Unlike many aesthetic procedures, this treatment has a very easy recovery process. Since this treatment is minimally invasive, you won’t have to deal with incisions or scarring. You also don’t have to visit the hospital to receive this injectable product. Even better, many people have minimal to no downtime after their treatments. You don’t have to use up vacation days while you’re recovering from your injections.
Like other injectable products, this treatment does not provide permanent results. As your body metabolizes this product, your effects will wear off. The exact duration of your results will depend on a variety of factors, including how much product we injected into the target site and how frequently you receive these treatments. In general, your results can last for up to four months.
Maintaining your fresh, new look is very easy. You can support your more youthful appearance by coming in for touch-up treatments.
Everyone’s treatment plan will be unique. For instance, some people like to receive a touch-up treatment as soon as the effects of their previous session wear off. Other people prefer to receive less frequent maintenance treatments. We can work with you to set up a custom schedule that fits your goals and preferences.
Many people like to use injectable treatments to soften their wrinkles and look younger and fresher before an important event like a wedding, family reunion, or vacation. Since this treatment has quick, noticeable results, it can significantly improve your appearance before a big event. Having smooth, radiant skin can help you feel more confident during a wedding or other important day.
Although this treatment works quickly, it does not provide instant benefits. As a result, you should not receive your treatment too soon before your important event. Receiving your treatment far enough in advance will give the product time to smooth your wrinkles and refresh your look. During your initial consultation, we can help you plan a treatment schedule that will achieve your desired results by your target date.

Although this is a very safe treatment, it is not suitable for everyone. In particular, you should not use this treatment if you have a skin infection at the target injection site. People who are allergic to any of the ingredients in this injectable product also should not use this wrinkle reduction method.
