Botox

Wrinkles and fine lines might seem like small features, but they make a big difference in the mood that one conveys and your overall look. At The Beauty Crew Institute of Medical Aesthetics in Upland, California, their skilled team provides Botox® injections and similar neuromodulators to rejuvenate your skin. To determine if Botox or Dysport® is right for you, call The Beauty Crew Institute of Medical Aesthetics or request your consultation online today.

How does Botox work?

Botox is a neuromodulator, meaning it affects your nerve activity. Specifically, it blocks your nerve impulses from signaling your muscles to flex for a period of time. Small doses of the main ingredient, botulinum toxin, can be injected into your skin in a controlled manner to affect your appearance or treat certain neuromuscular symptoms.

The most popular use for Botox and similar products is skin rejuvenation. A few well-placed injections make your skin look younger and tighter by alleviating fine lines and wrinkles. 

How can Botox injections affect my appearance?

At The Beauty Crew Institute of Medical Aesthetics, their team offers Botox injections to smooth certain facial wrinkles that become very defined over time. Such wrinkles are called dynamic wrinkles. They begin to appear when you make facial movements and expressions and soon become permanently visible on your face. 

Dynamic wrinkles that you can remedy with Botox include:

• Crow’s feet (next to the eyes)
• Frown lines
• Glabellar ridges (between eyebrows)
• Smile lines (folds on the side of the nose towards the mouth)
• Marionette lines (folds on the side of the mouth to the chin)

It takes between 24 and 72 hours to see the full effect after your injections. After that, you can enjoy your wrinkle-free skin for three to six months.* If you enjoy your time with fewer lines, you can come back for follow-up injections as needed. 

Are there alternatives to Botox?

Botox is no longer the only wrinkle-relief option you have. At The Beauty Crew Institute of Medical Aesthetics, the team also offers another injectable neuromodulator, Dysport, that contains the same active ingredient. During your consultation, your provider helps you select the right skin rejuvenation treatment for you. 

Dysport is the most often touted as the most affordable botulinum toxin injectable. However, it requires three times the injected units as Botox Cosmetics. Plus, it has the fastest onset. You’ll see the full effect in as few as 24 hours. 

There’s no reason to live with fine lines and wrinkles if they impact your self-esteem. Call The Beauty Crew Institute of Medical Aesthetics or request a consultation online today.
