I have deep wrinkles, will Botox work?

Botox injections smooth light to severe facial wrinkles by targeting and “freezing” muscles. Botox injections may lessen the appearance of deeper wrinkles or folds. Additionally, it helps smooth out the creases between your eyes and decrease the grin lines around your eyes.

Among the causes of wrinkles in humans include aging, sun damage, and environmental factors. Your skin will fold or furrow as a result of repetitive frowning, your eyebrows, or smiling, which will eventually cause fine lines and wrinkles. Your skin will become smoother after a firm mobilizationof a Botox injection because it will stop the underlying muscles from moving constantly. This effect can persist for three to six months.

Will Getting Botox Now Prevent Future Wrinkles?

Botox is now more of a generic term for the face. This is a Botulinum toxin, which is also present in Dysport, and is the particular injection known as “Botox.” The muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles are momentarily paralyzed by this refined neurotoxin, which stops the skin from creasing and lessens wrinkles.

Contrary to popular belief, Botox does not truly eliminate creases. You need to be cautious ofthe physician, or esthetician who makes this claim. Botox temporarily immobilizes the face, and muscles that produce lines, particularly the ones responsible for eyelid wrinkles, crow’s feet, and wrinkles between the eyes. By specifically inhibiting the face neurons that instruct your muscles to contract, Botox is able to do this.The muscle is essentially immobilized after injection, reducing dynamic wrinkles that only appear when muscles contract.

This is why Botox is particularly successful for treating creases around the mouth, cheeks, and corners of the eyes, which are visible when we smile. Not every wrinkle receives the same care. Even when the muscle is relaxed, a permanent crease can occasionally form as we age and lose the flexibility in our skin. These deep wrinkles cannot be removed; however, Botox may help to soften them. Once injected, Botox cannot be reversed, although it does eventually wear off. After injection, its effects normally start to take effect 48 hours later and peak five to ten days later. But the results only persist for three to five months, after which you would require more therapy.

What are Dynamic and Static wrinkles?

You must be aware of the distinctions between dynamic and static wrinkles and how each is treated before taking Botox. Botox is not a cure-all for wrinkles, and if you want to address every crease on your face, you should combine it with fillers.

  • Dynamic wrinkles

Dynamic wrinkles which appear as a result of particular facial expressions, respond well to Botox. Dynamic wrinkles are caused by squinting, frowning, and brow furrowing; they disappear when your face is relaxed. Over time, the skin’s frequent creasing can cause wrinkles, which are accentuated when you make expressive faces. Freckle lines between your eyebrows, crow’s feet, and forehead lines are examples of dynamic wrinkles.

  • Static Wrinkles

Static wrinkles are more obvious and more challenging to get rid of. They develop as a result of deteriorating collagen over time. Our skin loses volume and elasticity as we age, which causes the skin to fold over and crease, resulting in static wrinkles. These creases are annoying since they are constantly noticeable. Deeper wrinkles like cheek and marionette lines are frequently found in static wrinkles.

What are the Best spots for effective Botox injections

Botox performs effectively on dynamic wrinkles, as was already mentioned.

  • Crow’s feet

These lines that emanate from the edges of your eyes resemble the feet of a bird. They result from smiling and squinting, and they stand out more when you use certain facial gestures. 

  • Forehead creases

These are the lines that run horizontally across the top of the brow. These deep, horizontal lines can be caused by lifting or furrowing your brows, among other brow-related movements. Many people have Botox in these regions minimize them because they might make you appear fatigued or irritated. 

  • Frown lines

The vertical lines that run between your eyebrows are known as frown lines or worry lines. They result from raising your brows and squinting while you think. Dysport, a procedure akin to Botox, is frequently used to address these particular wrinkles.

How to Treat Static Wrinkles?

Your skin’s loss of suppleness and collagen, as well as aging from the sun and smoking, are the main causes of static wrinkles. Botox may be recommended by certain healthcare professionals for static wrinkles; however, fillers are far more efficient. Fillers lift the skin, minimize lines and wrinkles, replace lost volume, and make you seem younger. Hyaluronic acid (Juvéderm), a common filler, is very effective for fine lines and creases around your lips. For many individuals, a mix of Botox and fillers will result in the finest outcomes.

Only under the supervision of a specialist can Botox and fillers be used. Ask your primary care physician for a recommendation if you’re thinking about these procedures to enhance your looks, or seek a medical professional who has expertise with Botox and fillers. Your goals will be reviewed by a qualified and duly licensed doctor, who will also assist you in choosing the solutions that best suit your needs and state of health.

Final thoughts

According to studies released in 2015, persons who have Botox injections are often happy with the outcomes. 3 It shouldn’t, however, ever be viewed as a miracle cure. Botox can’t go back 20 years in time, but you can expect some obvious improvement.

In the end, it’s crucial, to be honest about what Botox can and cannot do. Furthermore, Botox misuse can lead to a condition known as a “frozen face,” which highlights the operation rather than the wrinkles it is intended to hide. Always look up the qualifications of the expert giving you the injections and get recommendations from present or past customers.Get in touch with Aesthetica by Dr. Adam to get the answers of your questions.
