Benefits Of Botox For Wrinkles

Botox has great benefits!

Botox is extremely useful medicine that can help relax muscles and can help you erase wrinkles that are caused by these muscles.

Botox is so popular because it can be done quickly in a doctors office and leaves no scarring or other long-term effects.

Botox can give areas of the face of more youthful appearance with fewer lines and wrinkles.

Keep in mind that Botox does not work on deep wrinkles that are caused by gravity such as the nasal labial folds or the marionette lines. (Pat Pazmino, MD, FACS, Miami Plastic Surgeon)

The benefits of Botox are quick onset, high satisfaction rate, safety profile, no downtime, few side effects, if any, affordability and ease of administration. The “cons” of Botox are that it does not last. (Steven Hacker, MD, West Palm Beach Dermatologic Surgeon)

Benefits To Getting Botox

Botox benefits boundless!

There are many benefits to botox. In terms of facial rejuvenation Botox is probably the most consistent, predictable and safe treatment available. There is no better treatment for lines that occur from muscle movement such as between the eyebrows, forehead, smile lines around the eyes, and other areas.

What I like most about Botox is that not only is there immediate cosmetic benefit, patients continue to get benefit from not wrinkling or furrowing the treated area – so it is really a wrinkle preventative treatment also. (Elizabeth F. Rostan, MD, Charlotte Dermatologist)

Benefits of Botox are long, and growing

Botox is being used in medicine for a variety of ailments… and the list is growing. Headaches, bladder problems, muscle spasticity, depression – each year brings a new disease for which Botox seems to help.

Botox Treatment Has A Cumulative Benefit

Aesthetically, Botox is still reigning champ for improvement of lines and wrinkles in the upper face due to muscle hyperactivity. Glabellar lines (between the brows), forehead wrinkles, bunny lines, and crow’s feet are all improved with proper placement of Botox.

You’ll also get a nice browlift when done correctly. These are the classic areas for Botox, and the recommended areas for Botox beginners.

If you like those improvement, you may want to consider treatment in other areas of the lower face, including perioral wrinkle improvement, improvement in the frown areas of the mouth and chin, and correction of a “gummy smile”. (Chad L. Prather, MD, Baton Rouge Dermatologic Surgeon)

Botox has many benefits

Botox and Dysport, the newest FDA approved neurotoxin, reduce muscle movement and thereby soften existing wrinkles while preventing further wrinkles in that area. These neurotoxins can help to slightly ‘stretch the skin’ to give a more youthful and tighter looking skin.

Botox and Dysport can also be used to help raise the brows to give a more open eye look and allow more of the upper eye lid to be visible. Though not FDA approved for headaches, many patients feel they get relief from recurrent migraines when their forehead is treated.

Botox is also being used and investigated for a number of other medical conditions. In aesthetic medicine, it has consistently been associated with a very high level of patient satisfaction. Please note that there IS technique involved in the injection of Botox, and while it is true that almost anyone CAN inject it, your outcome and experience will be much better with a very experienced injector. (Armando Soto, MD, FACS, Orlando Plastic Surgeon)

Botox has so many benefits we should ask what it can’t do

Long-term Results Possible With Regular Botox Injections

Most people don’t realize that only about half of all Botox is injected for purely cosmetic reasons. The therapeutic side if the business is huge, including treatment for things from spastic muscles in cerbral palsy to preventing migraine headaches.

Because of the specific way that it relaxes muscles, it is very helpful for certain types of facial wrinkles. One of my favorite recent findings is that having Botox for facial wrinkles actually improves one’s mood in objectively measurable ways.

It is thought to do this by interrupting the experience of worry and stress by preventing contraction of the muscles that express those negative emotions. I’ve heard it called the “Botox high.”. (Richard Baxter, MD, Seattle Plastic Surgeon)

The primary reason for Botox is to relax the muscles that cause the fine lines. The area between your eyebrows, crows feet and forehead can be treated. The results will last up to 6 months. (Bruce E. Katz, MD, New York Dermatologic Surgeon)

Regular Botox Decreases The Stress On The Skin

Botox is a great way drug to be used to soften the appearance of the upper 1/3 of the face. It certainly has put off a lot of browlifts. (Steven Wallach, MD, New York Plastic Surgeon)

Botox can make you look more youthful

Botox relaxes the muscles and usually takes 4-10 days to onset. It is most commonly injected into the glabellar area (area between the medial eyebrows), the crows feet and the forehead. It lasts approximately 4 months.

It has a great safety record. It really does a great job and makes a wonderful difference. Dysport recently has been approved in the usa (has been used in europe for years) and is virtually identical to Botox.

It is good that there is finally some competition to allerghan who has been able to increase their prices whenever they wanted since until recently, they had no competition. (David E. Berman, MD, Sterling Plastic Surgeon)

Regular Botox Will Give Long-lasting Results

The Many Benefits of BOTOX

BOTOX is a purified protein from a bacteria that stops the communication between nerves and muscles, thus resulting in less dynamic wrinkles such as on the forehead, in the frown area, and around the eyes.

It can also be used to lift the corners of the mouth. Other non-cosmetic benefits include use in: migraines, Raynaud disease, hyperhidrosis, club foot, urinary incontinence, cerebral palsy, and the list goes on. (Benjamin Barankin, MD, FRCPC, Toronto Dermatologic Surgeon)

Benefits of Botox

Botox is a substance which inhibits muscle activity. Dynamic rhytids are caused by muscles of facial expression.

These wrinkles are prominent in the upper third of the face around the eyes and forehead. These wrinkles appear in the 30s and are one of the first signs of facial aging.

Botox relaxes the muscles of facial expression thereby eliminating the cause of the wrinkle. Botox will give a smooth and youthful appearance of your face and is most often used around the eyes and forehead.

Botox can prevent the appearance of these telltale signs of aging and as such can be used to prevent aging of the face. Botox is best used in combination with a a complete antiaging protocol which should include medically based skin care, sunscreen, avoiding smoking or second hand smoke, proper hydration and nutrition, laser therapy to address skin quality (pore size, texture, tone, and color….example Fraxel Restore). Following these guidelines will keep you looking decades younger and can often stave off surgery. (John L. Burns Jr., MD, Dallas Plastic Surgeon)

Botox has many benefits

Botox is well known to reduce wrinkles that are related to overactive muscles. It also may be useful in treating migraine headaches as has been extensively studied by doctors at the Cleveland Clinic. (Richard P. Rand, MD, FACS, Seattle Plastic Surgeon)
