Botox® is typically viewed as an anti-aging treatment and is most often performed on patients over the age of 40. However, Botox® can also provide huge benefits to patients who are as young as in their 20s and can prevent aging before it even begins. Here is why you should reconsider Botox® as a preventative treatment and think about adding it to your skincare regimen.
Botox® Works by Preventing Wrinkles
The reason Botox® is such a popular treatment is because it relaxes the muscles that are responsible for forming the most noticeable wrinkles in the face. As a result, these wrinkles become less visible. Considered “wrinkle prophylaxis”, regularly relaxing the wrinkle-causing muscles will prevent wrinkles from occurring for much longer than people who don’t have Botox® injections.
Reduced Sweating
Botox® reduces activity in your sweat glands, meaning you’ll sweat less during the hot summer months or during tough workouts. Sweating can ruin hair and makeup, so this can be a big plus for those of us who are always trying to look our best. Ask about using Botox® to prevent underarm sweat for months at a time.
There’s No Commitment
Botox® is a relatively short-lasting injectable compared to other products. Other treatments offer results that last a year or longer, but the results from Botox® only last about three to six months. If you don’t like how you look or feel, you can just be done with it. It is also one of the most convenient treatments to start out with, as the entire treatment is usually performed in less than 30 minutes. With no downtime and instant results, Botox® makes for an easy treatment for first-timers.
