BOTOX® Cosmetic minimizes fine lines and wrinkles, giving your skin a fresh, young look. Though BOTOX may last months, you can follow tips from our expert cosmetic surgeons at ShineMD Medspa in Houston to ensure it lasts longer, leaving your skin youthful and radiant.
The key to a good outcome is following all aftercare instructions provided by your cosmetic specialist. For example, you should avoid massaging or touching the treated areas for at least 24 hours to prevent the migration of BOTOX® Cosmetic into unwanted sites. You should also avoid lying down or exercising for at least four hours following treatment, allowing it to settle down.
Sun exposure degrades collagen, elastin, and other connective tissues, so over time, BOTOX® Cosmetic gradually weakens in effectiveness. Protection against UV rays is key for maintaining BOTOX’s results. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30, wear protective clothes where necessary, and avoid the direct sun during peak hours.
Sun protection guards against premature aging and can preserve the results of BOTOX treatments.
Hydration is essential for healthy, young-looking skin. Water keeps the skin full, amplifying BOTOX® Cosmetic’s skin-smoothing action. In addition, a diet rich in vitamins, antioxidants, and healthy fats supports skin health and complements BOTOX treatments.
Fruits, vegetables, and foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids will help make your skin its healthiest
The results of BOTOX ® are not permanent. Follow-up visits are recommended about every three to four months to maintain wrinkle-free skin. With regular maintenance, your skin will have the chance to stay smooth.
At Houston ShineMD Medspa, our cosmetic professionals can assist you in creating a custom BOTOX schedule so you can enjoy consistent, long-lasting results.
Stress also allows the skin to deteriorate and shortens the duration of BOTOX® Cosmetic’s action. When stressed, people unconsciously make repetitive facial actions, such as frowning or clamping their jaw. These actions make the injected muscles act more often and, therefore, shorten the duration of Botox.
Activities for releasing stress, such as yoga, meditation, or deep breathing, can help your BOTOX treatments last longer.
At ShineMD Medspa, we believe in helping you achieve the most from your BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments. Our trained cosmetic specialists offer personalized care and expert advice to help you realize long-lasting, youthful results. Whether you are new to BOTOX or looking to preserve current results, we are here for you.
