Botox is a prolific anti-aging treatment, but there can be many misconceptions about it. If you’re looking at ways to achieve a more youthful look and boost your anti-aging regimen, then Botox is one treatment worth knowing about. However, it’s not as simple as getting a quick injection. It might surprise you to learn that there are many different ways to use Botox, and multiple ways to fit it into your anti-aging approach. Here’s what to know about the ways you can use Botox to rejuvenate your look at Modern Surgical Arts of Denver, CO.
Botox as a Preventive Treatment
If you’re in your 30s or 40s, Botox can be an effective way to prevent the formation of lines and wrinkles. The idea is to help patients keep their youthful appearance for a longer period. The concept of “look younger longer” is our practice motto for our prevention medications such as Botox. The Botox works by weakening the facial muscles so they’re less likely to crease and furrow the skin when you express. These types of wrinkles, called dynamic wrinkles, form over a lifetime of smiling, squinting, frowning, and more. By treating the face early enough, you can prevent these wrinkles from forming entirely. Combined with other ways to rejuvenate the skin and prevent aging signs, such as chemical peels and radiofrequency microneedling, this approach can help you stay younger for years to come.
Botox as a Restorative Treatment
In your 40s and even 50s, Botox may be able to help you look younger with just a few injections. If you already have signs of aging, such as frown lines, crow’s feet, and brow lines, Botox can help. Botox can prevent facial expressions that cause these lines to form, reducing their appearance at rest. However, another important facet of treatment is tightening the skin and boosting collagen so the wrinkles don’t come back once Botox wears off. Laser skin treatments can be extremely helpful in this regard – they can stimulate the production of healthy new collagen while your skin is less likely to crease and deepen existing wrinkles.
Botox as a Maintenance Treatment
If you’ve had a surgical procedure such as a facelift or brow lift, Botox should be part of your regimen. In essence, a surgical lift gives you a “reset” on your signs of aging, meaning Botox can play a key preventive role going forward. Not only can it extend your results, but it can also help prevent the formation of further wrinkles. Make sure to combine it with effective energy treatments like Morpheus8 to stimulate collagen and tighten skin with long-lasting results.
