BOTOX Cosmetic Injections and Dermal Fillers in Fairfax VA
As we age, wrinkles and lines develop around the eyes, forehead and lips. There are two types of wrinkles, and each are treated differently. Dynamic wrinkles form as a result of overuse of facial expressions. Fine line wrinkles form as the skin ages and as a result of exposure to sunlight. While chemical peels can help remove fine wrinkles, they cannot improve the deep dynamic frown lines and crow's feet. And unfortunately, the more you laugh, smile, frown and cry, the deeper the dynamic wrinkles are likely to be.
BOTOX® Cosmetic paralyzes, the muscles to temporarily smooth moderate to severe frown lines between the brows and around the eyes. BOTOX® Cosmetic has been proven safe for use by the FDA in many medical conditions, including use in the management of dynamic wrinkle relaxation. It should only be administered by a highly trained medical professional.
Botox Cosmetic has been in use for almost a decade and during that time millions of men and women have turned to the injectable cosmetic as a way to return the youthful appearance we all yearn for. In fact since Botox was first approved for use, over 11 million treatment have been administered making it one of the most popular ant-aging treatments in the world today.
Despite its wide use, many misconceptions still exist about BOTOX® and its use by physicians for aesthetic treatments.
Many women want to know if BOTOX® is safe because they have seen the plastic surgery horror stories that tabloids love to la tch onto. THe truth is each aesthetic injectable treatment has a unique safety and efficacy profile and treatments are not interchangeable. For every injectable treatment, including BOTOX® Cosmetic, it’s important to have a physician perform the procedure. It is also important to review the Safety Information and Medication Guide with your physician as serious side effects can occur. The most common side effects include pain or temporary bruising at the injection site, temporary tiredness, headache and nausea.
Consumers in today's economy are also very concerned with the cost of treatment and want to know "How much does BOTOX® cost in Fairfax Va?" The answer is that cost varies based on a number of factors. According to an American Society of Plastic Surgeons survey, the average cost of BOTOX® Cosmetic is approximately $400 for treatment of the glabellar lines between the brows. THese are sometimes referred to as angry lines. However BOTOX® can be used to treat lines in other areas of the face and the cost of treatment may vary. Consumers also voice concerns over the frequency of the treatments that will be required. Again results will vary slightly from one person to another but in general the youthful effects of Botox Injections will last approximately four months.
But the Hollywood disasters do tend to stick in people's minds and the question always comes out,"Will my face still have expression?" Injectable treatments like BOTOX are not designed to radically change one’s appearance. When used as directed and administered by a physician, a patient will suffer no impact on their ability to move the muscles of their face to form expressions.
