BOTOX Injections in Norfolk VA – The Safe Way To Treat Lines And Wrinkles

It is inevitable that as we age we will at some point have to deal with fine lines and wrinkles. However, there is a way to safely prolong that time. That way is by having BOTOX injections in Norfolk VA at Downtown Spa and Laser. We have been offering this treatment for years now to smooth out the indentations between the brows, in the forehead, and around the eyes and mouth that are caused by laughter, stress, sun exposure, dehydration, medications and sun exposure, just to name a few. Wrinkles come about as the skin ages and becomes thinner, causing it to lose its natural elasticity and become drier. As you go through your life, repeated expressions, rubbing against the face, such as when we sleep against a pillow, and spending a lot of time in the sun begin to etch those lines permanently.

Genetics can be a factor

Genetics will also play a part in when you develop the lines and wrinkles that just don’t go away. Chances are if you have a parent who wrinkled early, you will as well. And, if you are lucky enough to have a parent who looks great at sixty, you can probably count on that yourself. If you are in your twenties, and you are already experiencing fine lines, or you want to stave off the formation of fine lines even longer than Botox is worth considering.

Are Botox Injections Safe?

If your considering Botox Injections in Norfolk VA, keep in mind BOTOX  is an extremely simple and save procedure that requires only about a half-hour in our spa office. And, if you are worried about pain at the injection site, most injections occur after the skin has been numbed with cream or even local anesthesia. The technician will inject your face at the muscle contraction site to temporarily paralyze it, allowing the area where your skin is wrinkled to relax. After about 7 days, you will begin to notice amazing results with fine lines virtually disappearing. If you are over the age of thirty, and you are beginning to notice that the fine lines on your face are deepening or taking longer to fill out when you wake up or after a long night out, it’s probably time to consider a combination of BOTOX injections with a chemical peel or with cosmetic filler.

Combined Treatments

You will probably recognize the name Juvederm as a common filler brand name. This combined treatment helps to relax deeper wrinkles, shaving years off of your appearance. BOTOX injections are not a permanent solution. Once you have the injection, in three to four months you will begin to notice the return of your wrinkles. However, it’s just a quick trip back to the spa for another injection in our safe and sterile environment.
