BOTOX is the most popular cosmetic dermatology treatment in the U.S., with nearly 7 million treatments performed in 2015. If you're considering BOTOX® injections for your lines and wrinkles, here are five things you should know:
- BOTOX® injections can't treat all types of wrinkles. They're just for dynamic wrinkles that form as a result of facial movements – primarily, crow's feet, forehead lines and frown lines between the brows.
- BOTOX® injections can be combined with other cosmetic dermatology treatments including dermal fillers to treat both dynamic and static wrinkles. Sometimes referred to as a “liquid facelift,” combined treatments can help you get the effects of a mini facelift without the surgery, cost or recovery time.
- BOTOX® discomfort is minimal. One of the most common fears of having BOTOX® injections is that it's going to hurt. But the fact is, most people feel very little discomfort. Injections use very fine needles and the area can be iced before and after treatment so you'll stay comfortable throughout treatment.
- You won't have big bruises, either. While you may have some very minor bruising, applying ice after treatment keeps bruising to a minimum, and most patients have no bruising at all. Bruising that does occur can be hidden with makeup.
- BOTOX® is safe. The internet is full of "cosmetic surgery gone bad" photos, and while that may be good for gaining page views, it also drives a lot of confusion. BOTOX® has been around for years, gaining FDA approval for cosmetic use in 2002. The key to great results: Choose an experienced provider.
