Botox Treatments
It is essential to feel good about how you present yourself to the world and how the world sees you. As we age, skin sags and develops wrinkles in areas of the body and the face. If you are bothered by these signs of aging and are searching for a treatment, Botox may be the temporary solution!
By reducing wrinkles and lines on your face, one can enjoy a rejuvenated and renewed self-image. Texas Skin & Vein is the center of excellence for skin and vein care and provides botox in San Antonio, Texas.
Wrinkles and lines on the face, such as crow’s feet and laugh lines, are a few signs of aging that some would like to reduce. They appear as you age and are created as your skin dries and loses its elasticity. Sun exposure, age, smoking, genetics, skin contractions, and pollutants also play a role in skin wrinkling.
Onabotulismtoxin A, more commonly called Botox Cosmetic, is the first and only FDA-approved treatment to reduce lines and wrinkles on the face. Botox softens these areas, including crow’s feet plus laugh, frown, smile, and forehead lines to create a refreshed and younger-looking appearance. For the best botox in San Antonio and many of your dermatology care needs, look no further than Texas Skin & Vein.
- After using a numbing agent such as ice or a topical ointment, muscles of the face, forehead, or around the mouth are injected with Botox.
- These injections temporarily reduce muscle activity and decrease the appearance of lines or wrinkles.
- Cellularly, Botox works by blocking the transmission of nerve impulses which reduces muscle contraction around the areas injected.
There are some side effects or risks while using Botox. The Texas Skin and Vein team will work with you to help you fully understand the benefits and risks that Botox may have for you. The most common side effects of Botox injections may include:
