Why does skin age?

Generally speaking the process by which skin ages and wrinkles form is complicated. The aging process is determined by a combination of variables including collagen loss, hormone depletion, free radical damage as well as changes at the cellular level. The passing of time and repeated muscle movements result in wrinkles between your brows, which are also known as glabella lines. With years of wrinkling and crinkling, subtle lines become pronounced wrinkles, which grow more prominent with time. Females, who are generally more facially animated than men, bear a double burden as their skin is more fragile and the wrinkles that form are more pronounced and lasting. Botox is the perfect answer to the aging issue as it erases the appearance of these lines and slows the aging process.

What is Botox?

Everywhere you go the buzz is building. From friends and coworkers to television and magazines, the excitement about Botox shows no signs of slowing down, but what exactly is Botox? Produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacterium, Botox is a purified protein administered by a physician, which temporarily and non-invasively minimize severe and moderate lines around the eyes and between the brows. Small amounts of Botox are are administered directly into the muscles that cause persistent lines and wrinkles through a series of small injections. Botox treatment is non-surgical and the entire procedure takes approximately 10 minutes. There is no recovery time associated with Botox injections and results may be seen within days. Although results vary according to the individual, the effect of Botox treatment can continue for up to four months.

What does Botox do?

With time and increased muscle activity, moderate lines form between the brows and gradually become stubborn, deep wrinkles. Botox, which is directly injected into muscles between the brows, functions by hindering communication between nerve impulses thus limiting muscle activities that cause wrinkles to form. Botox can be used to smooth out lines between the brows and around the eyes, as well as to raise the brow, eliminating that droopy, “tired” look. Beyond the aesthetic effects of Botox treatment, Botox injections have also been found to have numerous medical advantages particularly for migraine sufferers and those grappling with depression, though individuals should consult their physician for more information on the non-aesthetic benefits of Botox. Another use for Botox is for a condition known as Hyperhydrosis. Hyperhydrosis is persistent and extreme perspiration under the arms. FDA-approved, Botox treatment for Hyperhydrosis is regarded as an effective procedure to minimize excessive perspiration.

The Botox Non-Surgical Facelift Is Here

The days of a surgical facelift being a one-solution-fits-all are long gone. Instead, many clients are going the non-surgical route with a combination of Botox injections and dermal fillers to erase wrinkles, lines, fill creases and look younger without the expense, risk and downtime of traditional cosmetic facelift surgery. Techniques in administering Botox favor a customized method, first by assessing a client’s specific pattern of aging, then strategically placing Botox injections in those areas where the maximum effect will be achieved. This Botox teratement technique can accomplish many feats from creating tension to lift an area to several small injections to refine an area. Though these details may seem small, it is exactly that attention to detail that fosters an overall younger look. Unlike facelift surgery, which takes a general approach, Botox combats specific signs of aging that surgery cannot always address. Beyond filling lines between the brows and crow’s feet, and relaxing wrinkles Botox can be used to lift the eye area and smooth lines in the neck and even smoker’s lines. As Los Angeles’ premier medi beauty destination, Blue Medi Spa in Sherman Oaks is committed to providing clients with the most advanced techniques in injectables. Consult with any of our trained medical professionals to discover how Botox at Blue Medi Spa can pave the way to a fresher, younger-looking you.
