This is especially true of the skin on your face. Since your face is the first thing people notice about you, it is important for you to feel confident in your appearance. If you have fine lines, wrinkles, and even deep folds and fissures in your skin, you will often look older than you are. To combat the signs of aging, Botox was developed. This skin treatment help to relax the muscles in the face, so the lines and wrinkles are smoothed out and less noticeable than before. This gives your skin a more youthful look and is the reason why Botox Charleston SC has quickly become one of the most popular treatments in facial esthetics.
What is Botox and How Does it Work to Combat Wrinkles?
Most wrinkles are caused by the tightening and stress in the muscles of the face. This pulls the skin into certain positions that leave folds and lines in the skin. Most people begin to experience these lines around their eyes and forehead first and then laugh lines and other lines can begin to appear. If your skin is sun-damaged, you will begin to experience these effects much sooner than someone who has avoided sun exposure, by using sun protection.
Botox was created from the viral strain of Botulism, a food poisoning. This treatment has been used for years and when used correctly, can safely help to temporarily relax the muscles in the face so the deep lines and wrinkles are pulled smooth. These injections can be used around the eyes, on the forehead and around the mouth, to achieve a more youthful complexion. The effects of the treatments will typically wear off after about three to six months, when the treatments will need to be performed again.
