Every day is a chance to look your best. However, this becomes challenging with each new year when more and more signs of aging appear.
The good news? There are aesthetic treatments that are proven to help turn or delay the hands of time. One great example is Botox® Cosmetic.
Many patients are getting Botox® injections to look their best as they age. But did you know that this injectable is even greater when done during the autumn season?
Read on to know more.
What Is Botox®?
Made by Allergan, Botox® Cosmetic is arguably still the most popular, well-known injectable neuromodulator available.
This neurotoxin works by temporarily relaxing facial muscles, softening the look of dynamic wrinkles caused by years of repeated muscle movements.
Moreover, Botox® is a safe and effective aesthetic treatment. In fact, it is FDA-approved to treat the following areas:
- Frown lines between the eyebrows;
- Crow’s feet, and
- Forehead lines.
How Do Injectables (Botox®) Work?
Injectables (Botox®) help prevent lines and wrinkles from appearing on the upper section of the face.
Botox®, for instance, works by temporarily blocking nerve signals to the muscles in the targeted area, reducing the intensity of muscle contractions.
As a result, the targeted muscles can no longer fully move, making dynamic wrinkles less visible and noticeable.
Who Is An Ideal Candidate for Botox®?
Botox® is not just a corrective treatment for prominent and existing wrinkles. It’s also a preemptive procedure to prevent new facial lines and wrinkles from forming.
As such, Botox® Cosmetic is for the following individuals:
- Those who are 18 years of age or older;
- Has moderate to severe wrinkles and lines;
- In good physical health;
- Has moderately realistic expectations with the results;
- Willing to commit to maintenance treatments;
- Not bothered by needles or injections;
- Does not have a history of neuromuscular disorders; and
- Not pregnant or breastfeeding.
When Is the Best Time to Get Injectables (Botox®)?
Just like most cosmetic treatments, you can get Botox® all year round. However, there are some benefits when you get Botox® Cosmetic treatments during the autumn.
Here are three reasons why:
Better Recovery
Patients who get Botox® need to avoid excessive sweating and exercise for at least 24-48 hours after the procedure.
Given its cooler temperatures, this aftercare step is often easier to follow during the autumn, resulting in a lowered risk of swelling and inflammation after Botox® injections.
Post Summer-Skin Healing
Getting Botox® during autumn is the perfect way to pamper your post-summer skin and proactively address any wrinkles that may have surfaced from sun exposure during the summer.
The cooler months offer an ideal healing environment, allowing you to embrace a more relaxed indoor lifestyle, shielded from the harsh effects of UV rays.
Look Your Best for the Holidays
Botox® injections can help you look your best during holiday gatherings.
With the improved appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, you are more confident in socializing during reunions and festivities.
