Botox® is the world’s leading medical procedure for looking youthful. As a cosmetic tool, it’s used to improve the appearance of fine lines and superficial wrinkles that often appear as a result of common movements associated with smiling, frowning, and squinting. It works by stopping the muscle contractions that cause wrinkles on the forehead, between the eyebrows, and around the eyes. The FDA approves Botox® for the temporary treatment of moderate to severe frown lines and as a treatment for moderate to severe crow’s feet. Botox is a leading alternative to plastic surgery here in the Rio Grande Valley.
Here at Uptown Medical Wellness & Anti-Aging Center, we are big fans of the powerful results produced by Botox® treatments. We love Botox® because of its many awesome advantages:
The effects of Botox® are not immediate and can vary. They may be noticeable anywhere between a few days to two weeks after the procedure. Treatments are temporary, which is why our experts work with patients to build a custom-made plan that fits their needs.
The application of Botox® to certain areas of the face requires special, advanced training and an experienced hand. A thorough understanding of exactly which areas can and should be treated with advanced placement allows our clients to see better results. At Uptown, our onsite aestheticians are experienced and heavily trained in this type of Botox® application and are ready to assist with your anti-aging needs.
Botox® is generally only recommended for those between the ages of 18 and 65 and in good health. Botox® might not be right for you if you are allergic to cow’s milk protein, have a neurological disease, or are pregnant or breastfeeding. Undergoing Botox® treatment is ideal for those in their late 20s to 30s as an anti-aging preventative measure to maintain youthfulness or for those in their 40s and beyond to reverse the signs of aging. Don’t worry, even if Botox® isn’t right for you, we can help you find a solution. One common alternative to Botox® that we offer here at Uptown Medical Wellness & Anti-Aging Center is Dysport. We can find the right treatment for your skin.
