For those with wrinkled skin, Botox® injections can provide great relief. While it may be a natural sign of aging, the presence of wrinkles can be frustrating to some. Thanks to the scientific research and testing in the 1990s by several dermatologists, Botox® was approved in 2002 by the Food and Drug Administration for cosmetic purposes. These injections have been shown to be a fast-acting and relatively painless way of achieving younger-looking skin.
As with any drug, it is a good idea to schedule an appointment with a dermatologist or doctor experienced in these injections, so as to determine the best course of action. Botox® can be applied to many different areas of the face, and a professional dermatologist can evaluate the individual needs of a patient.
Youthful skin is often characterized by a smooth complexion, free from wrinkles. Though some children and teenagers may develop premature wrinkles, the skin of younger people has a much different composition than the skin of older people. Aging skin may become droopy, wrinkled or fragile. A good way to combat the signs of aging is to develop a solid dermatological care plan.
Wrinkles can appear for a number of reasons. According to many dermatologists, a lifestyle of smoking, drinking or staying out in the sun without protection can make a person more likely to develop wrinkles. Even if a person leads a relatively healthy life, wrinkles can still form due to genetic history. As people get older, the skin tends to become more thin and delicate as collagen levels deplete, so the skin may begin to sag and wrinkle.
Botox® is created through processing of the botulinum toxin, which is a protein that can cause paralysis in nerves. While dangerous in large doses, the amount of botulinum is minimal in these injections and so very low strength. When injected into an area of wrinkled skin, the medication works to relax muscles and, in doing so, relaxes wrinkles. This can lead to a smoother appearance of the area.
The full extent differs in each patient due to variance in the severity of wrinkles, the age of the skin and the lifestyle of the patient. Different areas of the skin may recover faster from the injection, leading to the reappearance of wrinkles. This makes it difficult for dermatologists to say exactly how long it may last, though generally results are expected for around four months. After a few rounds of injections, the patient and doctor can establish how long to expect the treatment to last for a particular patient.
A consultation with a dermatologist is a great way to not only protect your skin from the signs of aging but also reverse those signs. Botox® has been shown to be safe and effective in patients with wrinkles. With the combination of a healthy lifestyle, younger-looking skin can be achievable.
