The Truth About Botox
Morristown patients who have wrinkles on their forehead or around their eyes have been able to quickly delete them with a few Botox treatments and look years younger.
What is Botox and How Does it Work?
Botox is actually derived from the botulism virus. It is perfectly safe and was approved by the FDA in 2002. During a Botox treatment, the doctor will use a super-thin needle to inject small amounts of it into the areas around wrinkles on the face.
Botox works by relaxing the muscles on your face that pinch the skin and squeeze it into wrinkles. When these muscles are relaxed the wrinkles they form disappear.
A Botox treatment usually takes about 10-20 minutes. Recovery is minimal since Botox is non-surgical. Some patients get bruising and swelling but that goes away within a week.
One Botox treatment can typically last between three and four months.
The Truth About Dermal Fillers
While Botox became a cultural phenomenon thanks to its wide use by celebrities, fewer people are aware of the magic of dermal fillers. Dermal fillers can sometimes provide longer-lasting results than Botox. Morristown patients who have deeper wrinkles on their face that aren’t caused by active muscle movement can instantly erase them with a dermal filler.
What Are Dermal Fillers and How Do They Work?
As we age, our skin loses it elasticity and its “fullness.” Dermal fillers replace that “perkiness” and can even be used to sculpt and enhance your facial features while also providing powerful wrinkle-erasing.
Just like Botox, dermal fillers are injected directly into the tissues of the wrinkle and plump up the skin so that the wrinkle lessens.
Dermal fillers can last from six to twenty-four months.
