When lines and wrinkles begin to mar a person's face, they can look much older than they actually are in years. No one wants to grow old gracefully these days, especially when they have other options. Those who are looking for the fountain of youth may find it in Botox treatments from the best med spa in Orlando.

What Is Botox?

Botox comes from a bacteria called Clostridium botulinum. Botulinum toxin blocks the release of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which is what causes the muscles to contract. Injections of Botox temporarily block the muscles from contracting in targeted areas. Once the injections begin to work, a person's lines and wrinkles become smoother because the muscles are no longer contracting.

Where Can Botox Treatments Be Injected?

Botox can be used to treat multiple areas of the face. This injected treatment can be used to treat the following areas.

• Forehead wrinkles
• Frown lines
• Gummy smiles
• Neck bands
• Crows Feet
• Lip lines
• Marionette lines
• Dimpled chin

Before a person receives this treatment, they will need to consult with the aesthetician who will be performing the treatment. Individuals will need to provide a current medical history that discusses all their medications and their current and past health conditions. If it is decided the individual is a good candidate, treatment can usually begin right away.

What to Expect From Botox Treatment?

When a person comes in for a Botox treatment, they will first have their treatment areas cleaned and marked. The injections will be administered in each area specified for treatment. It is normal for a person to feel a slight stinging sensation, but this should go away quickly.

Just after treatment, individuals should not lean their heads over to ensure the injected neurotoxin does not travel to other areas of the face. Following the aftercare instructions is essential for the best results with recovery.

After the injections, it is normal to feel some irritation in the treated area. The areas that were treated may be red and slightly swollen. In some cases, there may be minor bruising, but all of these side effects fade quickly.

The injections will begin working within about 48 hours. Most people will see their final results within two weeks, and the results last for three to six months.
