A beautiful, refreshed appearance
Botox is considered one of the most popular cosmetic treatments available, administered to just over 7 million patients in 2016 alone—and the number continues to grow. It’s not just a cosmetic procedure for your mother’s generation, either. Increasingly, millennials are also embracing Botox injections to smooth out lines and wrinkles for a beautiful, refreshed appearance. Women in their 20s and 30s are flocking to plastic surgeons or aestheticians not to unravel the passage of time but to prevent it. Botox erases fine wrinkles as they appear and ensures they do not deepen as you age. It’s a way of investing in your future.

The Difference
Botox and dermal fillers are minimally invasive, non-surgical injectable cosmetic procedures. Both are top-rated, trendy treatments. Botox injections freeze muscles using purified bacteria, minimizing the look of lines and wrinkles caused by facial expressions. Dermal fillers can fill out areas that thin over time, such as the lips, around the lips, and the cheeks.
Botox can smooth over wrinkles known as “expression lines” that occur during repeated movement of your face. Commonly, these wrinkles appear between the brows, on the forehead, and crow’s feet around the eyes. These facial wrinkles repeatedly appear any time you smile, frown, squint, or perform other facial movements. Botox doesn’t work on fine lines that can be caused due to sagging or loss of plumpness, which can appear on the neck, jawline, and cheeks. Botox is not a permanent treatment. For most patients, effects can last for three to four months, and repeated injections are necessary to combat wrinkles.
Botox injections have been approved in a variety of facial areas, including:
Glabella lines contain the deep furrow that easily forms between the eyebrows that can make you look angry or scowling without even intending to. Thankfully, West Des Moines Botox patients can treat this by injecting a small amount to smooth out the area so you appear relaxed. Frown lines, or “11” lines, are caused by the corrugator muscle and skin bunching together from repeated contraction of facial muscles.
Forehead wrinkles can occur even when we are young, making us appear stressed or concerned. Botox injections can smooth out these worry lines and leave you appearing relaxed and restored.
These wrinkles around the eyes can happen from squinting, laughing often, or other reasons. They can become quite noticeable, but they can be halted with a simple cosmetic treatment.
Known as the “Nefertiti Lift,” Botox treatment can minimize and flatten the lines that occur around your neck as you get older.
Botox procedures can treat deep wrinkles that are a noticeable sign of aging. This treatment can also help sculpt the corners of your mouth to address a smile that naturally appears unhappy.
Botox can be injected into certain areas of the chin to remove dimpling and textured wrinkles.
Botox cosmetic procedures can raise the brow to help open your eyes.
Botox can non-surgically form and slim your face and make a masculine or square jaw appear rounder without the need for plastic surgery.
The TMJ joint is affected by patients who unknowingly grind their teeth at night. A medical injection to the masseter muscle relieves the pressure and helps prevent clenching and grinding.
Wrinkle Prevention
Botox prevents muscles from contracting, which prevents fine lines from forming. Younger patients are increasingly seeking Botox injections, as a preventive measure for treating unsightly lines and creases before they can ever develop. After receiving their Botox West Des Moines patients are one step closer to achieving their beauty goals!
Achieve a Youthful Look
The more a patient uses Botox, the likelier they are to arrest the development of deep wrinkles. You can look youthful immediately after starting treatments. If treatments stop, the facial muscles will start to move again and increase the risk of developing wrinkles.
Fast Results
Cosmetic injections like Botox are increasingly used for their preventative effects. If you are considering Botox, it is helpful to think long-term. Botox can smooth facial lines in just minutes, but the real value is in preventing deep wrinkles. At Skin Body Soul Spa West Des Moines Botox treatment can leave you with refreshing, natural-looking results that are not overdone. Botox can be used to treat more issues than filling in lines. In the right hands, it can give you a beautiful look without any surgery.
Procedure
The treatment applications for Botox injections have many uses. Still, typically they are used to reduce the appearance of frown lines, facial wrinkles, and lines between the brows, around the eyes, and on the forehead. Botox is a neuromuscular blocking injectable medicine. Essentially it blocks the transmission of chemicals that allow movement in the muscles. When Botox is applied to facial muscles that create wrinkles, it smoothens the skin and creates a youthful look. Botox can also be used for medical applications, like treating painful migraine headaches.
While the complete results may vary from patient to patient, Botox injections can take a few days to start to work, but the full effect can take up to two weeks. The effects of Botox can last from three to five months before touch-up injections are needed.
One treatment of Botox can be performed within ten minutes, so you can even do it on your lunch break. There is little downtime from Botox injections, but there may be some mild swelling at the injection site. It is best to refrain from using vitamins, blood thinners, or fish oils in the week before the Botox cosmetic treatment to reduce the risk of bruising. Patients can prolong their cosmetic treatment by avoiding sun damage or photodamage, as they may age the skin and create new lines.
