A lot of people in Louisville, KY and elsewhere are using BOTOX®. This FDA-approved injectable solution can block nerve signals in select areas across the face. This has made it a preferred treatment for minimizing the appearance of dynamic wrinkles. This is one of the fastest and most effective treatments for frown lines, crow’s feet, and perioral wrinkles at the mouth.

BOTOX® has a relaxing effect on the muscles. It does this by blocking nerve signals that control local muscle movements. As a result, the treated muscles relax. When BOTOX® is used around the mouth, the eyes, and at the brow, this reaction causes dynamic wrinkles at the surface skin to smooth out.

One of the most important things to know about BOTOX® is that its effects are temporary. After multiple months have gone by, regular nerve communication will resume and dynamic wrinkles will begin to reappear. The good news is that people in Louisville, KY can have their treatments repeated two to three times per year for continued benefits.

You may be a suitable candidate for BOTOX® treatment if you’re unwilling to commit to a more invasive and longer-lasting anti-aging procedure. With BOTOX®, no surgery is involved, so the treatment is much more convenient than surgery.

Dynamic wrinkles are associated with movement. For instance, if you have frown lines, these are probably easiest to see when you’re actually frowning. As soon as you relax your forehead, however, your frown lines will go away. These injections will help your expressive muscles maintain their relaxed position. Given that our provider will only insert a very small amount of BOTOX® at each injection site, you’ll still be able to continue making a diverse array of facial expressions.

BOTOX® is not meant for the treatment of static wrinkles. These are wrinkles that remain fixed in place irrespective of whether the facial muscles are moving or relaxed. Static wrinkles are caused by the gradual breakdown of the skin and ongoing facial volume loss. They’re considered to be among the more advanced signs of facial aging and they must be treated with facelifts, dermal filler technologies, or other cosmetic procedures.
