If you’ve been looking to address the wrinkles and fine lines that come with aging, you’ve probably heard of Botox©. This popular cosmetic injectable takes only minutes to administer, but gives you months of a smoother, youthful appearance.
Botox and comparable alternatives, such as Dysport© and Xeomin©, work using a neurotoxin that stops your muscles from contracting, the activity that creates wrinkles and fine lines. This leaves your skin moving less with each facial expression, resulting in a younger and fresher look as wrinkles and lines fade.
Botox injections have become increasingly popular at home “Botox parties.” But because Botox is a medical procedure involving possible side effects and risks, it's important that these injections are administered by a licensed professional. .
Dr. Rawan Abu-Zeitoon and the care team at Chrysolite Aesthetics in Houston, Texas, have the necessary training and experience to help you safely achieve your aesthetic goals with Botox. Let’s take a closer look at why it matters to get Botox injections from a licensed professional.
When you get a Botox injection from a licensed medical professional, like the providers at Chrysolite Aesthetics, you know that your injection is FDA-approved. Licensed professionals also know how to properly store and handle Botox according to medical guidelines, ensuring better quality medication and results.
Botox injections with Botox that wasn’t stored correctly or that use a counterfeit substance put your health at risk. Additionally, licensed professionals only use sterile equipment after cleaning your skin, reducing your risk of infection.
When performed in a medical environment, Botox is an effective and safe aesthetic treatment. However, as with all medical procedures, Botox comes with potential side effects and complications, such as:
These complications can lead to permanent issues with your appearance. If you receive Botox injections from a licensed professional, they know what to look out for to ensure your safety and health, and can address and manage any complications.
Botox is a diluted form of a toxin that changes the way your nerves and muscles communicate. Getting the injection right, which includes using the correct amount of Botox and the right size needle, as well as targeting the correct sites on your face, is essential for optimal results.
