Botox® in Poway

Most women notice the first signs of aging, such as fine lines, age spots, and other details around the age of 40. While aging is a very common thing among any individual, starting to notice lines and wrinkles around your face can be quite detrimental to your self image. This can be especially true if the new lines and wrinkles have a hand in making your face appear tired, incredibly aged, and more. Fortunately, many aesthetic treatments in the market are able to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and provide patience with rejuvenated skin.

The top treatment to fully reduce lines and wrinkles is Botox®. Having been FDA approved for more than 20 years, there is a reason why many patients turn to this injection treatment. Botox® is a neuromodulator formulated with botulinum toxin type A and additional complexing proteins that works by reducing chemical signals sent from the nerves to the muscles, thereby freezing the muscles and reducing their contractions. These contractions can look like a wrinkled forehead, pursing mouth, squinty eyes, and other small facial movements that people make every day. By slowing down the use of the facial muscles, the development of fine lines and wrinkles is delayed.

Botox® is most commonly injected in specific areas of facial muscles, where it is often normal for wrinkles to form. Some of these areas can include the forehead, between the eyebrows, around the mouth, and around the eyes. If you have more questions in regards to the formulation of Botox® and how it could benefit you, speak to a provider at The Studio Med Spa. We look forward to informing patients about the treatments that can better their skin, confidence, and more.

Wrinkles can commonly be attributed to age, sun exposure, fat loss, smoking, stress, thinning skin, and more. Do you find yourself dealing with new wrinkles every day?

If you are considering Botox®, you may wonder how long it will take until you can actually see the results of rejuvenated skin. Botox® is formulated with many protective proteins, which enables the effects of this treatment to last longer in comparison to other neuromodulators. However, these protective proteins can also play a role when it comes to the onset of Botox® results. While the results may be a little delayed, patients are happy to see the full extent of Botox® results anywhere between 7 to 14 days.

Does this minimally invasive procedure provide any side effects to patients? As with any procedure, Botox® administration may come with a few minor side effects. However, these side effects are usually minimal and can clear up within a couple of days. The most common side effects seen after Botox® are:

• Pain or swelling in the injection site 
• Watery or dry eyes
• Dizziness
• Dry mouth

Botox® is not recommended for patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding, or are suffering with bleeding disorders or neuromuscular disorders. While this treatment is relatively safe, it may not be recommended for patients with other specific disorders.
