Despite aging being an inevitable reality of life, there are some situations in which the most visible effects, like fine lines and facial wrinkles, can be minimized. Not only can aesthetic treatments like BOTOX help enhance your youthful glow, but they can also give you a new lease on life with a big confidence boost. Read on to learn what types of facial wrinkles BOTOX can help treat and what you can expect from the process.

What’s It Like Getting BOTOX?

The treatment in total only takes about an hour and the results can last for between four and six months. The injections are fast and pain-free—at most, patients may feel a small sting, and within two weeks, they’ll be able to enjoy the BOTOX injection’s full effects.

5 Types of Facial Wrinkles BOTOX Can Help Minimize

While most people go to see their cosmetic dentist in Dallas with a plan of what types of aesthetic flaws they would like to address with BOTOX, others may need some ideas first. BOTOX can fix a wide variety of facial imperfections and fine lines. In fact, so many so that you may be surprised!

Here are the five types of facial wrinkles that people commonly receive BOTOX injections for:

  1. Frown lines between the eyebrows, also known as glabella lines, are vertical creases in the skin. These can make you look tired, angry, or even stressed even when you aren’t.
  2. Vertical and horizontal lines on the forehead can make you appear surprised and most commonly start to develop in the late 20s and early 30s.
  3. Bunny lines at the top of the nose are creases on the nose bridge that form when you’re smelling something. These can become a permanent facial feature if these muscles are used frequently enough.
  4. Crow’s feet are lines that form at the corners of the eyes and are some of the most common wrinkles associated with aging.
  5. Tear trough wrinkles are located just below your eyes, where your tears would fall if you were crying. These can contribute to an appearance of under-eye bags that make you look tired and exhausted.

How Often Do You Need to Get BOTOX?

When wrinkles become visible again, all up-keep requires is a quick trip to your cosmetic dentist in Dallas who offers BOTOX. How often you get injections depends on your comfortability with how much the effects have worn off.

While fine lines and wrinkles are perfectly natural to develop, not everyone feels comfortable with how quickly they form. They would rather hold onto their youthful glow a little longer, and that’s perfectly normal! BOTOX is a wonderful way to do just that without having to make a costly and long-term decision.
