Wrinkle Relaxer

There are many misconceptions about BOTOX® Cosmetic. The idea that it somehow speeds up the aging process is one of them. Here’s what actually happens.

BOTOX® Cosmetic and fillers are different types of injectables used for facial rejuvenation. BOTOX® Cosmetic helps the skin look smooth by relaxing the muscle under a wrinkle or line. Fillers, on the other hand, add volume below the surface of the skin to enhance features and fill in visible signs of aging.

Best known for smoothing wrinkles, BOTOX® Cosmetic is a dynamic injectable with a variety of uses. It can be administered to the face, neck, and body to improve an impressive range of aesthetic concerns. Keep reading to learn about some of the most sought-after uses of BOTOX® Cosmetic, from well-known to surprising.

The outcome of any BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment depends heavily on the skill of the injector and the technique used. Where your provider places the wrinkle-relaxing product and how much they administer can be the difference between looking natural and looking slightly stiff. With this in mind, many patients are seeking out “micro-BOTOX” or “Baby BOTOX” to achieve a subtle and refreshed look. Keep reading to learn all about this popular new injection technique.

Botox® Cosmetic Treatments

The use of wrinkle relaxers like Botox® has steadily increased over the last two decades and today are one of the most commonly performed cosmetic treatments in the world. However, most patients, at least the ones we see in Miami, do not know how Botox works.

For me, it's an exciting time to be an aesthetic medicine provider. Actually, it's probably just as exciting to be a patient, at least for those interested in cosmetic medicine. Today, more than ever, aesthetic physicians have the tools needed to provide natural looking and aesthetically pleasing results without surgery and with minimal downtime. We are essentially able to freeze the aging process.
