Rockville residents near me wonder what Botox does to your skin

Botox is one of the most commonly requested cosmetic procedures. With over seven million treatments performed per year, both men and women have turned to Botox for its ability to soften facial lines. If you are searching for Botox near me, Dr. Prussick of Washington Dermatology Center has offices in Frederick and Rockville.

Appropriate for adult men and women

Smiling, frowning, and being expressive are parts of everyday communication. However, the constant use of the facial muscles can lead to the formation of lines and wrinkles. Botox is a neuromodulator that relaxes muscles, softening the appearance of fine lines. Effective for the temporary treatment of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows or crow’s feet at the corners of the eyes, Botox is ideal for both men and women.

Treatment expectations

During your appointment, your medical history, experience with Botox, and expectations for the treatment will be discussed. Botox can then be injected into the following areas as needed:

• Crow’s feet
• The lines between your eyebrows
• Forehead lines
• Lines around the mouth
• Lines on the neck

Botox injections are easily tolerated. A very fine sterile needle is used to inject the product in as in as little as 10-15 minutes. The only evidence of your treatment may be redness or possible bruising at the injection site.

Botox smooths your skin

The changes to your skin will be evident over the course of a week. Within a couple days, you will start to notice the softening of your lines and wrinkles. Full effects are visible within a week and will last three to six months. Your skin will look smoother and more youthful. You will still be able to make expressions. You will not appear frozen. Over time and with continued treatment, your body becomes used to the Botox so less of the product is needed to achieve the desired results. The earlier lines and wrinkles are treated, the easier they are to treat.

Stop living with lines and wrinkles. Ask Dr. Prussick how Botox can help you look refreshed. Contact Washington Dermatology Center for an appointment at our Rockville location. 855-314-1424
