Who Is a Good Candidate for Botox?

Do you want to look younger? Do you feel like fine lines and wrinkles are contributing to aging your face? If so, Botox is an option that can easily smooth away unwanted fine lines and wrinkles quickly and without invasive surgery. It is also a very quick treatment that does not take a lot of time out of your day. Here at Revive MD Center in Glen Allen, VA, we can help! 

Who Is a Good Candidate for Botox?

Because this treatment is successful on all skin tones and types, any healthy person who wants to get rid of unwanted wrinkles can do that via this treatment. If you are someone who has unwanted wrinkles around the eyes, the mouth, the forehead, and other regions of the face can likely benefit from this treatment. However, if you are still unsure, during your initial consultation, our staff will let you know what you can expect.
 

Areas That Can Be Treated

There are many areas that can successfully be treated using this injectable. If you do happen to have an area where unwanted wrinkles or fine lines are a concern that is not mentioned, let our staff know. They can have a closer look at the area and let you know as to whether or not this treatment could also work there too!

The Outer Corners of the Eyes

“Crows feet” or the wrinkles that form around the outside corners of the eyes can often add years to a person’s appearance so, needless to say, it is not surprising that this is a popular treatment area! It can smooth away the unwanted lines and wrinkles around the outer corners of the eyes painlessly, enabling you to look much more vibrant and youthful. 

The Outer Corners of the Mouth

These lines and wrinkles are sometimes called “marionette lines” because of the way they can look like the lines on a ventriloquist’s puppet. These lines can appear very mild when they begin to form, but they can become more severe over time, even with a great skincare routine. This treatment will smooth away those lines and wrinkles quickly! 

Between the Brows

Those often deeper lines that form between the eyebrows are sometimes referred to as “frown lines.” Because a lot of our emotions register in this area of the face, lines and wrinkles can become deeper more quickly, thus making this another popular area of treatment. It can smooth away even those deeper wrinkles that form between the brows in no time at all.  

The Forehead

This is probably the most popular area of treatment. The lines and wrinkles that develop on the forehead can add a lot of years to one’s face and let’s face it, creams and serums only go so far when it comes to this area. This treatment, however, will successfully smooth away any unwanted wrinkles or lines on the forehead area and this often makes a person appear many years younger.  

Under the Eyes

Under the eyes can develop fine lines and sometimes even deeper ones. This can make one appear more tired or aged than they feel. This treatment will smooth away those unwanted fine lines and wrinkles and give you back that awake, refreshed, and vibrant look.

The Chin & Jawline

Those who notice “dimples” in this area as a result of aging have found that this treatment works to smooth that away as well. This treatment can even be customized to provide a “lifting” around this area. 

Around the Nasal Area

Those deeper lines that form around the outside of the nose can be a concern for a lot of people. This treatment will smooth away those lines and give you a much more plump and youthful appearance.  

Above the Mouth

The wrinkles and lines that form above the mouth are another concern for some people. This treatment can smooth away lines and wrinkles in this area too! 

Other Areas

Once again, if you do have another area of concern, let our staff know! This treatment may also be helpful in those areas too. 

Frequently Asked Questions

If you do have additional questions that are not addressed below, ask our staff! They will be happy to answer any questions that you may have about this treatment and what you can expect!

1. Does This Treatment Hurt?

No. This is a completely painless treatment that is simply an injection. You do not have to worry about the same pain elements that invasive procedures or surgical treatments come with. This treatment is totally pain-free which is one more reason why it is so popular.

2. Is This a Safe Treatment Option?

Of course. This treatment has been perfected over many, many successful treatments and is also approved by the FDA. It is not a treatment that is going to put your safety or the safety of your skin at risk.

3. When Will I See My Results?

While it will vary for each person when it comes to exactly how long will take to see results, most people will begin to see their results within 4 to 6 days but seeing your full results will take a little longer. For full results, some people may have to wait for up to 10 to 14 days. During that time though, you should notice an improvement!

4. How Long Can I Expect My Results to Last?

This will also vary for each person but typically, the results of this treatment can last for 3 to 6 months and sometimes longer. There will be those whose results last for shorter amounts of time and this can be said of some people for their first treatment. Either way, it is a treatment that is going to last whereas others do not.

5. How Long Will My Treatment Session Take?

Because this treatment is only an injection, the treatment sessions do not take long. From the time you arrive for your appointment until the time you walk out will only take about 30 minutes to an hour and that is taking into consideration answering all of the questions you may have. Treatment is really quick and then afterward you can get right back to your day!

6. How Often Can I Have Treatment?

It is a good idea to note that you should always listen to the advice of the professionals regarding how long you should wait in between treatment sessions. This will make sure that you get the most out of treatment safely. That being said, most people can safely have treatment every 3 to 4 months. Again, this will vary for each person.

7. Is There Downtime?

No. As soon as your treatment has ended, you are free to go on about your day as always. This treatment is not invasive or surgical in nature and does not require any healing or downtime at all. Some people have even had this treatment while on their lunch break before heading right back to work! You do not have to worry about any downtime at all with this treatment option.

8. What Do I Need to Do to Prepare for My Treatment?

There is usually no prep that you need to do before your treatment but if there is, our staff will most certainly let you know!  All you need to worry about is showing up on time. Our helpful staff will handle everything else. Unlike other types of treatments, there is no preparation required on your part.

9. Can I Have Multiple Areas Treated at the Same Time?

Absolutely and many people do! If you have unwanted wrinkles around your eyes and on the forehead, both can be treated during the same treatment session. This will not only save you time but it will also address all of the areas of concern at once so you will appear that much more youthful when you do get to see those results!
