Does Botox ruin your face? Today we finally unveil the truth about Botox in Northern Virginia and put the rumors to rest.
Botox is an injectable toxin that directly targets the muscles in the face that causes the visible appearance of wrinkles.
Once the muscle is relaxed, the wrinkle is released.
Botox is a very safe and effective treatment for facial wrinkles when administered by a trained professional.
When injected by a skilled injector at the right amount, Botox will not ruin your face.
However, there are some inexperienced or improperly trained injectors who over-inject Botox which can lead to the frozen look that many patients are terrified about.
No, Botox is not a permanent treatment. Most patients can expect their results to last for a few months before they will need to return for maintenance injections.
The first way to ensure that your results are great is to locate a top injector in your area who has extensive experience working with this substance.
Once you have located a great injector, you should set up a consultation to discuss your ideal results in order to set realistic expectations of your results.
Lastly, due to the impermanent nature of Botox injections, you should always schedule your next treatment session at the end of the previous session in order to protect your results so that they don’t wear off before your next visit.
