Botox Phoenix - Want to get rid of your frown lines?

Botox Phoenix

Many think that frown lines come from excessive worrying or frowning. Truth is, facial expressions do not cause wrinkles on their forehead or anywhere else says botox Phoenix specialist. Those vertical  "frown" lines between the eyebrows and the vertical ones across your forehead wouldn’t be there at all if your skin hadn't become damaged by the sun. They're the result of facial muscles interacting with sun-damaged skin says facial cosmetic surgeon Phoenix.

Children move their facial muscles all day long, they don’t get lines or wrinkles. Forehead folds and (other facial wrinkles) occur because of the damage the sun inflicts on our skin. This is why it is very important to use sunscreen or face moisturizer which provides at least 15 SPF to 30 SPF daily when out in the sun. 

The sun breaks down that matrix, leaving skin thinner, saggy, and less able to regain its former, tighter contour. One of the most successful treatments for facial lines in the last two decades has been the use of muscle relaxing injections to stop the formation of wrinkles. Most people have heard of Botox and Dysport but there are many misconceptions about what they actually do says botox Scottsdale specialist.

Put simply, both of these treatments work in the same way says Phoenix rhinoplasty specialist. They block the muscles they are injected into from receiving the signal to contract. Used properly in the facial muscles, this leads to a more relaxed look and diminished facial lines. The most commonly treated areas is the area between the eyebrows (the glabella) where “frown” lines form, the forehead where horizontal lines form, and around the eyes where “crow’s feet” form.

The use of these medications has a very low risk profile in experienced hands. Reports of patients with a drooping eyelid, a dropped eyebrow, an uneven result or “frozen” look are usually either due to poor communication with the injector, or lack of knowledge or skill on the part of the injector.

If you are looking to achieve a smoother, more relaxed and youthful appearance in just one treatment, contact a botox specialist for a complimentary consultation. Simple injections can improve wrinkles for up to six months at a time.
