BOTOX® Cosmetic Treatments at WNC Internal Medicine
The natural aging process, combined with lifestyle and environmental factors, results in the development of facial lines. While these lines are a testament to our experiences and emotions, they can sometimes feel prematurely aging. WNC Internal Medicine is dedicated to understanding and addressing the root causes of these facial lines.
Understanding Facial Lines
Facial lines aren’t merely a result of age or sun exposure. Everyday expressions such as smiling, frowning, or raising our eyebrows contribute significantly to their formation. Every time these expressions are made, facial muscles contract, causing the overlying skin to fold and furrow. Over the years, repeated muscle contractions, combined with factors like cellular changes, reduced collagen, and environmental damage, can lead to pronounced lines and wrinkles.
The Efficacy of BOTOX® Cosmetic
BOTOX® Cosmetic offers a strategic approach to address these signs of aging. By working beneath the skin’s surface, this treatment specifically targets the muscle activity that contributes to moderate to severe lines:
- Frown Lines: Concentration or displeasure often engages the muscles between the brows, leading to frown lines. By precisely injecting BOTOX® Cosmetic into these muscles, our specialists can effectively reduce the appearance of these lines.
- Crow’s Feet: The hallmark of joy, laughter, and smiles can sometimes lead to crow’s feet around the eyes. With BOTOX® Cosmetic, these lines can be significantly minimized, enhancing the eye area.
- Forehead Lines: Expressive movements, like raising the eyebrows, activate the forehead muscles, resulting in horizontal lines. Our expert approach with BOTOX® Cosmetic helps in reducing the prominence of these lines.
The BOTOX® Cosmetic Treatment Experience
While the idea of injections may be daunting for some, many of our patients describe the sensation as akin to a brief pinch. The onset of results is usually observed within 24 to 48 hours post-treatment. Optimal results are typically evident by the end of the first month and can last up to four months.
We pride ourselves on delivering results that appear natural and refined, avoiding the overtreated or “frozen” look.
Continuity of Treatment
It’s important to note that BOTOX® Cosmetic is a temporary solution. If treatments are discontinued, the lines will gradually reappear over time. This gives patients the flexibility to determine their treatment course based on their personal preferences and desired outcomes.
At WNC Internal Medicine, we are committed to helping our patients achieve a rejuvenated appearance that feels both natural and authentic. BOTOX® Cosmetic is a testament to our dedication to state-of-the-art solutions. If you’re considering this treatment, we invite you to schedule a consultation with our team to discuss the potential benefits and outcomes tailored to your needs.
