WRINKLES AND BOTOX

As much as we try to have perfect skin, there are certain natural “flaws” we can’t avoid — WRINKLES being one of them. Wrinkles develop as a result of the collagen and elastic fibers in the skin losing their elasticity. Why?

Age                                                                                                                                           As As we grow older, our skin cells don’t divide and regenerate as quickly, causing our skin to lose its ability to heal quickly and generate natural oils, resulting in a dry and wrinkly appearance.

Sun                                                                                                                            When the skin is exposed to too much sun, the collagen and elastic fibers of the skin are eroded.

Habit                                                                                                                    Repeated facial expressions like frowning or smiling lead to the development of grooves underneath our skin. Over time, these grooves begin to appear as permanent facial wrinkles

Smoking                                                                                                                 According to MayoClinic.org, smoking speeds up the skin’s aging process.   Nicotine stifles blood flow to your skin, preventing oxygen and vitamin A from nourishing the outer layers. The smoke from cigarettes also damages the skin’s collagen and elastic fibers.

BOTOX can help eliminate wrinkles, particularly in the forehead or area around the eyes. Botox smooths the skin out by calming the muscles beneath the skin.

Forehead                                                                                                                  Repeatedly raising your eyebrows can over time cause fine horizontal lines to appear across your forehead. These lines can become ingrained and make you appear older. Botox lessens raising your eyebrows, which prevents the lines from forming.

Between Eyebrows                                                                                                    

“Hatchet lines” between the eyebrows are perhaps the most common area for Botox use in the face. Untreated, these vertical lines can make you look like you are constantly frowning. But Botox can restore your happy face.

Crow’s Feet                                                                                                                                   Botox Botox injections can also prove helpful in eliminating “crow’s feet,” lines that occur naturally at the outer edge of each eye.
