Best Areas to Get Botox Injections
As a treatment for wrinkles, Botox has been referred to as one the biggest advancement in plastic surgery in the last 20 years. Botox injections are given just under the surface of the skin, where they effectively “freeze” the muscles that contract involuntarily and cause facial wrinkles. One treatment can last as long as three months, and leave the skin looking smooth and youthful. It's not uncommon for some Hollywood stars to receive Botox treatments as regularly as they would go to the spa or the doctor.
For anyone getting Botox in West LA, however, it's important to know that Botox doesn't work on every wrinkle. A Botox injection will work only on those wrinkles that are caused by contracting muscles. Here's a look at the different areas someone getting Botox in West L.A. might consider treating with a Botox injection.
West L.A. Botox for Forehead Lines
As we age, the lines that appear on our forehead when we are surprised, confused, or deep in thought gradually become a permanent part of our expression. Despite creams and make-up, the lines still seem to show up. Botox is a great option for treating forehead lines.
Due to the long length of these lines, they typically require more Botox than other areas of the face. Depending upon the individual, forehead lines take multiple Botox injections at regular intervals along the forehead lines themselves.
West LA Botox for Crow's Feet
Squinting against the sun and smiling create a fine mesh of crow's feet wrinkles around the corners of of our eyes. Although one can decide to stop developing crow's feet by stopping their smile, Botox injections into the crow's feet is a much more logical solution.
Botox West LA clients should be aware that the skin around the eyes is more sensitive and has more small veins than the thicker skin around the forehead and other areas of the face. For this reason, Botox injections into crow's feet areas are more likely to result in minor bruising. Some plastic surgeons will use multiple, small injections into crow's feet lines; other doctors will use just one injection underneath the muscle itself. This method is more complicated to perform but when done correctly results in less bruising.
West LA Botox Between the Eyebrows
Probably one of the most common areas of the face where Botox injections are used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles is the area between the eyebrows. For both men and women, vertical and horizontal lines appear due to a lifetime of careful thought and concentration. These lines can often be very deep, and are therefore hard to cover up using other methods.
In most cases, a dramatic reduction of wrinkles between the eyebrows can be achieved using just one Botox injection inserted into just the right spot.
West LA Botox for Lines Around the Mouth
Around the mouth area are two problem spots that a Botox injection can readily fix. The first area includes the fine, vertical lines around the lips. These appear almost like crow's feet for the mouth. The second area includes the deeper smile lines that run from the edges of the nose to the corners of the lips. In both cases, a few well-placed Botox injections can dramatically reduce the appearance of these wrinkles.
As a West LA Botox doctor can explain, Botox may need to be used in conjunction with other cosmetic products, known as fillers. These fillers are sometimes required because Botox does not solve the problem of wrinkles when the wrinkles are caused by a loss of skin volume or other skin sagging. When combining a dermal filler with Botox, however, almost every wrinkle on the face can at least be reduced, if not eliminated altogether.
