When patients have cosmetic concerns but do not want the recovery time, risks, and expenses that come with surgical procedures, Botox is often a viable alternative. Explore whether you should consider getting Botox injections to update the appearance of your face and other areas of your body. Dr. Michael Rogers and Dr. Alex Kennon offer Botox treatments at Lakeside Dermatology in Sebring, FL, and Winter Haven, FL.
What Is Botox?
Botox is a substance that contains a protein called botulinum toxin (or neurotoxin). In medical terms, it is called a neuromodulator, which means that it regulates the nerves of the muscles. When injected, Botox causes muscles to relax and stop contracting, reducing the appearance of lines in the skin. Botox can be administered by a dermatologist in the office during a relatively quick visit that will often take less than an hour of your time.
Botox Has a Number of Uses
Patients look to Botox to correct a number of cosmetic and body-related concerns. These are some common uses:
- Lessen and relax wrinkles.
- Reduction of crow’s feet and frown lines.
- Boost skin volume and elasticity.
- Help balance a “lazy eye.”
- Control heavy sweating (hyperhidrosis).
Should You Consider Botox?
If you want a younger appearance, you should talk to a Sebring, FL, and Winter Haven, FL dermatologist about Botox. You should also consider this solution if you’re averse to the idea of undergoing an invasive procedure for cosmetic work like plastic surgery. Botox does not require anesthesia or cutting and can begin to show results in under a week.
