Incorporating Botox® Into Your Regular Beauty Routine

Botox® injections are the best-known and most effective way to flatten common facial creases on the forehead and between the eyebrows. Expression lines on the face contribute to an aged appearance and might ding your confidence, but Botox’s natural-looking results can restore a sense of youthfulness.

While Botox isn’t a miracle cure and does have some limitations, Botox injections are low maintenance and offer monthslong results.

At Pure Bliss Med Spa in Sandy Springs, Georgia, Asha Hill, NP, and her team can help you add Botox and other minimally invasive treatments to your beauty routine. By getting Botox regularly, you can enjoy the results almost indefinitely.

If you’re thinking of adding Botox to your routine, here’s what you need to know.

What Botox does

Botox is widely understood as a treatment for wrinkles, but it can’t smooth just any facial crease. Botox specializes in treating dynamic wrinkles, which develop and deepen over time. These wrinkles appear where the skin creases when you make facial expressions. 

Wrinkles that respond well to Botox injections include:

• Crow’s feet around your eyes
• Forehead lines
• Glabellar or frown lines between the eyebrows
• Bunny lines on the bridge of the nose
• Lipstick lines above the upper lip

While dynamic wrinkles come from facial dynamics or movement, other factors like photoaging and smoking can speed up their development. 

Botox follow-ups: When and how often

Every time you get Botox injections, you can expect their effects to last around three to six months, a range that varies based on individual factors like your metabolism. 

Since Botox results last for months, you won’t need to get them often. But making them a part of your routine allows you to experience Botox at peak effectiveness.

Our team recommends booking your Botox injections every few months or so. Botox results fade gradually, and when you stop getting regular injections, the treated wrinkles eventually reappear.

Slowing the development of new wrinkles with Botox

Regular Botox injections can have a long-term effect on your skin’s behavior. Specifically, years of repeated Botox injections can weaken the targeted muscles. That’s because Botox temporarily paralyzes those muscles, so when they’re out of use, they shrink and weaken.

When you stop getting regular Botox injections, those muscles can regain strength and size. Eventually, they’ll function as they did before you started getting Botox and the wrinkles will reappear. However, the results of future Botox injections may last longer than the first time you get them.
