If you are considering Botox, good for you! Botox is one of the most powerful anti-aging treatments available from your dermatologist. Botox can fight the early signs of aging, including those fine lines and wrinkles which form along the lines of expression. The dermatologists at Trident Dermatology in Charleston, SC, provide a wide range of medical and cosmetic dermatology services, including Botox treatment to help you look younger.

What to Know about Botox

Botox is derived from a bacterium known as Clostridium botulinum. It’s an effective anti-aging substance which works by temporarily weakening, or “freezing” the nerves and muscles around the injection site. Fine lines and wrinkles are minimized, giving your skin a smooth appearance.

Botox is an excellent choice to treat:

• Deep creases across your forehead, known as furrows
• Deep creases between your eyebrows, known as glabella
• Fine lines and wrinkles radiating out from the corners of your eyes, known as crow’s feet
• Vertical lines running down from the corners of your mouth to your chin, known as marionette lines

Botox treatment is one of the most popular services available from your dermatologist. These are just a few of the reasons why Botox is the treatment to choose for anti-aging:

Botox is quick because each session takes only a few minutes.

• Botox is easy because injections are tolerated well by most people, and you can request a numbing spray beforehand
• Botox is effective because you will see optimal results within 2 to 4 days after your treatment
• Botox is convenient because it requires no downtime, so you can get back to enjoying your day

To continue looking your best, your dermatologist may suggest maintenance treatments every 4 to 6 months. The amount of injections you will need varies depending on the area being treated.
