How Long Does Botox Last?
Aging brings wisdom and experience, but years of repetitive facial expressions like smiling and squinting can also mark your face with fine lines. If you’re concerned about mild to moderate wrinkles but don’t want to undergo invasive procedures, neuromodulators like Botox, Newtox, and Dysport offer an effective, minimally invasive solution.
How Do Neuromodulators Work?
Botox and similar neuromodulators work by temporarily paralyzing the muscles that cause wrinkles, such as those responsible for crow’s feet, brow furrows, and glabellar lines. These products all derive from a purified version of the botulinum toxin, which blocks the connection between nerves and facial muscles, preventing them from contracting and deepening lines.
The goal of neuromodulator injections is to give you a refreshed, well-rested appearance while still allowing you to make natural facial expressions. Dr. Vincent Nacouzi can recommend whether Botox, Newtox, Dysport, or a combination thereof will deliver optimal results for your needs.
What to Expect When You Get Botox
Botox, Dysport, and Newtox have revolutionized the aesthetic industry, offering a convenient way for busy people to achieve a naturally younger look without downtime. The process is quick and virtually painless, making injectables an increasingly popular choice for anyone who wants to look rejuvenated without the need for surgery.
You can typically resume your daily routine right after receiving your injections. Side effects are usually mild and may include temporary bruising, swelling, or soreness around the injection site. When performed by expert injectors like Dr. Nacouzi and his highly trained team, the procedure is virtually pain-free, and you can expect results that never seem overdone or “frozen.”
How Long Do the Effects of Botox Last?
While neuromodulators provide long-lasting effects, they aren’t permanent. Typically, results appear a few days after treatment and last for about three to four months. During this time, the muscles that cause wrinkles remain relaxed, allowing your skin to appear smoother and more youthful. After this period, the nerve impulses will gradually begin to reach the targeted muscles again, causing them to contract and allowing wrinkles to reappear.
You can maintain your refreshed look with regular follow-up treatments. Schedule routine appointments every few months to extend the benefits of your neuromodulator injections and keep your skin looking refreshed and wrinkle-free. You can also follow a skin care routine that includes sunscreen and moisturizers, avoid excessive UV exposure, keep your stress levels low, and drink plenty of water to look younger longer.
