Is Heartburn Ever a Serious Health Problem?
Most people have occasional bouts of heartburn. But frequent heartburn can lead to potentially serious medical complications. Learn about how chronic heartburn could impact your health.
If you’re like most people, you want to show your freshest, youngest-looking self to the world. Whether you wish to look your best for social engagements, professional situations, or simply how you look in the mirror, you want your best self to shine through.
Unfortunately, the passing years take a toll on your skin and can make you look older than you’d like. Wrinkles and lines draw attention to your imperfections, rather than your assets. Not even makeup can cover these kinds of flaws.
Botox® treatment offers a solution for many people who wish to optimize their appearance. Botox injections are a safe, effective way to minimize facial lines and wrinkles that can stand between you and the image you hope to project.
If you’re considering having Botox treatments, you may be wondering about whether — and when — you might want to have additional touch-up treatments.
Our aesthetic services providers here at Encino Park Family Health & Wellness Clinic in San Antonio, Texas, share information with you about how Botox touch-ups can help you maintain your fresh appearance.
When you receive Botox treatments, your aesthetic care provider injects a botulinum toxin compound into your skin. This may sound alarming, but it’s actually very safe. Botox is a specially formulated cosmetic treatment.
Botox works by relaxing the muscles in your face that develop as the result of repeated facial expressions, such as frowning, laughing, or even squinting. When muscles relax, the wrinkles that are caused by tight muscles are minimized or disappear.
The types of facial imperfections that tend to respond best to Botox treatment include:
Botox treatments are temporary, and as the Botox injected into your skin wears off, muscles retighten and lines and wrinkles begin to reappear within 3-6 months.
Once these lines and wrinkles begin to reappear, you can come in for a Botox touch-up treatment. Typically, Botox appointments take only about 15 minutes. There is typically no downtime required, so you can get back to your day without having to take any time off.
The length of time you can wait between touch-ups depends on several factors, such as the extent of your lines and wrinkles, your aesthetic goals, and your schedule.
Your aesthetic care provider can work with you to determine a time frame that best aligns with your goals.
The aesthetic care providers at Encino Park Family Health & Wellness Clinic offer Botox along with a substantial menu of other aesthetic services. To make an appointment, call 210-568-5816 or request an appointment here on our website.
