Whether it be from smiling or from scowling, many things in life can leave your face with wrinkles. Even the natural aging process does not leave the skin unscathed. However, you do not have to accept the reality of wrinkles. Botox in Lee’s Summit – one of our most popular medical spa treatments – might be just the solution you need to address your wrinkles.
Dr. Victor Perez, our board-certified plastic surgeon, believes that there is no better person to administer a Botox injection than a surgeon with the knowledge of facial anatomy gained by performing facial surgeries. Dr. Perez has over 20 years of surgical experience, meaning he knows the facial structures extremely well. With his hand guiding your Botox injection, you can trust that you will be getting the best results available.
What Does Botox Do?
Botox is an injectable that is used to prevent muscles from moving for a limited period of time. This temporary paralysis can smooth the wrinkles on your face, giving your skin a more relaxed look. Although Botox is technically a toxin called botulism, Botox injections in Lee’s Summit are safe and do not result in illness due to the preparation and purification process. Our skilled surgeon knows exactly how to handle and administer Botox in a safe and healthy environment, resulting in the best possible outcome.
Candidates for Botox treatments should meet certain criteria to ensure the best possible results and a healthy recovery. This treatment might be right for you if you:
- Are a mature adult
- Have moderate to severe wrinkles
- Have visible signs of skin aging
- Have healthy, moderately elastic skin
- Have realistic expectations about the outcome
- Have wrinkles in the regions that Botox can effectively treat, such as the neck, forehead, or between the eyes
Botox is best used for treating dynamic wrinkles. Dynamic wrinkles refer to those that form due to your natural facial movements, such as smiling and frowning. Dynamic wrinkles vary from static wrinkles, which refer to wrinkles that appear due to a loss of volume or some other type of skin deficiency.
What To Expect During the Procedure
As you prepare for your procedure, it may be a blessing to know that most Botox procedures in Lee’s Summit involve minimal, if any, pain.
During the procedure, our board-certified surgeon will use a thin needle to inject amounts of the Botox serum into your skin and muscles in the targeted regions.
Once the injections are complete, you will be asked not to massage or touch the treated areas for at least a day, and to avoid lying down for several hours after getting the treatment. This helps keep the injected Botox in the targeted area and prevents it from spreading to unwanted areas. Aside from these limitations, you will be able to return to your regular activities after the procedure.
