BOTOX® Cosmetic is the best-known injectable for skincare, and it has many specific benefits. Its most popular application is the softening of dynamic wrinkles to create a younger look. However, there are some patients who may benefit more from its use. It is important to know if you are a good candidate for BOTOX Cosmetic.
What Is BOTOX® Cosmetic?
BOTOX® Cosmetic is an injection that uses botulinum toxin type A and is marketed by Allergan. The Clostridium botulinum species of bacteria produce it and consists of seven serological types, of which Type A is the most potent.
Ideal Candidates
BOTOX® Cosmetic works exceptionally well at improving various areas of concern. If you struggle with any of the following, you may make a good candidate for BOTOX® Cosmetic:
Fine Lines and Wrinkles
You may be a good candidate if you have visible lines and wrinkles, as this treatment is highly effective at smoothing the skin. It relaxes facial muscles, reducing stubborn lines and wrinkles caused by repeated muscle movements. Delaying the appearance of these aging signs is also a good use of BOTOX® Cosmetic since it is easier to prevent wrinkles from appearing than it is to make them disappear. Some doctors recommend this injectable to patients in their 20s as part of a prejuvenation plan.
Desire for Fast Results
Patients who want fast results also make good candidates for BOTOX® Cosmetic. The first effects of this treatment appear within a few days, and the final result is visible in less than two weeks. In comparison, treatments with lasers and topical products take significantly longer to provide their full benefit. In addition, these methods require a longer recovery period than BOTOX® Cosmetic.
How Long Do Treatments Last?
The effects of each BOTOX® Cosmetic injection are temporary, so you must accept that you will need regular maintenance if you decide to undergo this treatment. The effects can last up to six months, but you may need a touch-up every three months.
