Incorporating Botox® Into Your Beauty Routine

A lot changes as you age; lines form on your face, skin becomes less elastic, and wrinkles form, all of which cause you to appear older. An excellent beauty routine certainly helps if you're clinging to your youth.

But creams and facials only go so far. For lasting results that you'll be proud to show off, Botox® is the way to go. Adding Botox every few months tightens loose skin and eliminates fine lines and wrinkles on your face.

In Tallahassee, Florida, the skilled Novell Primary Care and Weight Loss team offers aesthetics if you're looking for somewhere to begin a Botox routine. Our providers strive to help you feel and look your best.

Understanding Botox

Botox injections use botulinum toxin, a potent neurotoxin derived from a strain of bacteria called Clostridium botulinum. Medical professionals utilize Botox for both cosmetic and medical purposes.

Botox temporarily paralyzes muscles in a specific area by blocking the release of acetylcholine. Acetylcholine is a powerful neurotransmitter that causes muscle contractions, which lead to wrinkles and fine lines.

Botox results in paralyzed muscles in your face, which prevents wrinkles from showing. One series of Botox injections can eliminate fine lines and wrinkles for several months.

We utilize Botox for various cosmetic purposes, including wrinkles and fine lines, crow's feet, smile lines, and necklines. It offers a youthful alternative to surgery that you can easily add to your beauty routine.

How often should I incorporate Botox?

Botox isn't a miracle cure for severe or deep wrinkles and significant sagging skin. However, you can prevent these issues by adding Botox to your beauty regimen early.

How often you need Botox depends on several factors, including your goals, treatment areas, and how your body metabolizes the toxin. At your initial appointment, we review the treatment process and show you how often you need to come in to maintain wrinkle-free results.

Most people notice that one Botox treatment lasts three to six months. However, it can be less than that after your initial treatment as your body may try to metabolize the toxin quicker than subsequent treatments. 

Will Botox give me a youthful appearance?

Botox is an excellent addition to your beauty routine if you want a youthful glow, but it's not the only thing you need to do. For optimal results, it's essential to take care of your skin and body, too.

Staying hydrated and solidifying an effective beauty routine are great ways to enhance Botox's results. The injections alone provide a youthful appearance by tightening wrinkled skin and eliminating fine lines.

Taking care of your skin while using Botox is the absolute best way to keep it looking its best. Wash your face at the beginning and end of each day, and wear sunscreen every day, especially if you're in the sun.

It’s also a good idea to use a reputable skincare line to keep your skin moisturized between Botox injections.
