Botox® / Wrinkle Relaxers
Botox® / Wrinkle Relaxers
Whether we like it or not, wrinkles are part of the human experience. As we age, the lines and dynamic wrinkles throughout our faces become more prominent and distracting. While wrinkles are natural and will occur at some point in our lives, it is possible (and very simple!) to slow down the aging process with the help of BOTOX® (or it’s alternatives) injections. We, at New Age Laser and Aesthetics, are thrilled to offer this highly effective treatment to men and women alike.
Botox® (onabotulinumtoxinA), Xeomin® (incobotulinumtoxinA) and Jeuveau® (prabotulinumtoxinA) are highly purified neurotoxins that temporarily block the movements of the muscles in the face that contract to create expressions. By freezing the underlying muscles, these advanced wrinkle relaxers can dramatically decrease the development of fine lines and wrinkles on the face, allowing the skin on top to still appear smooth as you express yourself throughout your day.

WHO CAN GET BOTOX?
Botox®, Xeomin® and Jeuveau® injections are ideal for individuals who would like to smooth out the appearance of lines on their face with a simple, nonsurgical solution. This treatment can be wonderful for patients of a variety of ages, even those as young as 30 who would like to get a head start on slowing the natural aging process. These injections can be a wonderful option for those whose foreheads are incredibly active as they make expressions. These lines can present themselves as horizontal folds or vertical wrinkles between the brows. To accurately determine if you’re a candidate for this treatment, you will need to attend a consultation with Dr Kharin to determine your best options and course of treatment.
HOW ARE BOTOX INJECTIONS DONE?
Botox®, Xeomin®, and Jeuveau® injections are most commonly applied between the eyebrows, on the Crow’s feet, around the mouth, and along the forehead.
After your skin is cleaned of any oil, dirt, and makeup, the product is injected under the skin with an extra-fine needle, followed by a cool compress to help lessen discomfort, swelling, and bruising if needed. The actual treatment typically takes about 10 – 15 minutes to complete.

RESULTS AFTER BOTOX
After the procedure, you may return to your daily schedule. However, strenuous activities like exercise should be skipped for a minimum of 24 hours. You will be advised to sleep with your head propped up for the first night. It is important to not touch your face since doing this may accidentally spread the toxin to other areas. The injected sections of the skin might appear bruised, red, or swollen for a few days. In most cases, it often takes about 5-14 days before the final effects of the treatment become visible. The results usually last 3-4 months. You can speak to Dr. Kharin about how often to make follow-up appointments to maintain your results.
