How Long Will the Results of My Botox Treatment Last?
Botox treatments are designed to function as temporary treatments of unwanted wrinkle lines and skin furrows. Botox is the brand name for a protein created by a bacterium called Clostridium botulinum. This protein is a neurotoxin, meaning that it blocks the release of the neurotransmitter that causes muscles to contract. In its purified, pharmaceutical grade dosage, Botox is a safe and effective way to stop muscle contractions in the muscle groups that lie below furrowed brows, frown lines and crows feet.
The level of neurotoxin in Botox is intentionally kept well below the level where it could cause permanent damage to muscle fibers. As such, Botox' effect on affected muscles is temporary- lasting three to eight months. Under appropriate medical supervision, you can undergo repeat treatments indefinitely without causing any permanent damage to the muscles in your face. Botox has been FDA approved for men and women younger than 65 years of age.
Desired results from Botox treatment will be enhanced by your regular use of sunblock, the use of a quality moisturizing lotion and a proper amount of sleep.
