What is BOTOX, and how does it work?

BOTOX is an injection made from botulinum toxin type A, and it is designed to stop the muscle contractions that cause dynamic wrinkles within your face. Dynamic wrinkles are common around the eyes, forehead, and frown lines. BOTOX freezes the muscles that cause the wrinkles so that the skin can relax and smooth out. During your first appointment, a member of our clinical team can determine the best spots to inject BOTOX for the most dramatic results. Due to the quick and safe nature of BOTOX, you can usually get injections done during the same visit. BOTOX injections are done with small needles, and the entire procedure usually takes around ten minutes. After your appointment, you can return to your normal daily routine.

What happens long-term if I quit using BOTOX?

Many people worry that if they stop getting BOTOX injections, their wrinkles will come back faster and worse than before. However, this is not the case. If you stop BOTOX injections, your wrinkles will slowly start to come back, but slower than if you had never used BOTOX to begin with. In the long term, BOTOX does not usually cause any major aging or skin issues, or abnormalities. If you think BOTOX may be a good option for you, contact Brickell Cosmetic Center in Miami, FL to learn more about if BOTOX can help you.
