The wrinkles you get on the upper area of your face, like frown lines or crow’s feet, are called dynamic wrinkles because the lines change to form the different facial expressions you make. As you get older, your skin loses elasticity, causing the lines to become etched in your skin — even when you’re no longer making a facial expression.
Botox injectables are made from a naturally occurring bacteria called Clostridium botulinum. This neuromodulator causes the muscles under your skin to relax by blocking the signal to it from the nerve.
By preventing the muscle from contracting as tightly as it does without Botox, the lines you make with facial expressions relax, too, creating a younger-looking appearance for up to four months.
Plus, with regular use, research shows Botox injections can help prevent deeper lines from forming! And you can rest easy knowing over seven million Botox treatments are administered each year, keeping Botox the most popular cosmetic choice for minimizing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Keep in mind that results are technique-specific. This means you’ll get the best results from trained professionals, like the team at Wrinkle Fairy, who understand your facial muscles and the best nerves to inject.
You probably already know Botox can work magic on forehead lines and frown creases. But you may not know that there are many other places Botox can be injected to help you reach your aesthetic goals and achieve a more youthful appearance.
The best way to learn where you should get Botox is by meeting with your provider at Wrinkle Fairy. We evaluate your skin and discuss your goals to make personalized recommendations that help you achieve the look you want.
