Aging is a process everyone will go through whether it is welcome or not. Many people (women especially) are in constant pursuit of keeping themselves looking youthful. Signs of aging appear almost overnight and can make a person look older than they are and more tired in overall appearance. Some will go the route of plastic surgery to remove years from their appearance. Botox Injections offer a less invasive way to look younger and more refreshed at a fraction of the cost of plastic surgery and without the lengthy recovery time.
Botox is injected using a small needle for the comfort of the patient to target specific muscle, groups. These injections can last anywhere from six months to a year or longer depending on the depth of the wrinkles. Clients who use Botox regularly experience minimal to no side effects after injection and can go back to regular activity right after an office visit, with some patients even getting their procedures done on lunch breaks. Sometimes there are slight side effects noted such as bruising or mild allergic reaction, but most people who use Botox report no disruption with their life.
Botox Injections target specific muscle groups to help relax them, diminishing the appearance of wrinkles on the forehead, brow ridge, and around the eyes. A face has many expressions and, over time, those expressions leave behind wrinkles and sagging muscles. Botox helps to tighten the muscle’s tone and smooth the skin, lifting sagging eyebrows and minimizing worry lines in the forehead. Another benefit of getting Botox treatments is its use to treat hyperhidrosis or excessive sweating, reducing the body’s sweat gland production for six months with one round of treatment. In many cases, Botox therapy for hyperhidrosis is covered by health insurance providers.
Botox for cosmetic purposes has yet to be covered by health insurance companies. It is, however, an affordable solution to combat the signs of aging. The average cost of Botox injections varies from office to office but is more affordable than extensive plastic surgery. Staff members can help get clients started on a routine plan to help keep the signs of aging to a minimum.
