Boost Your Confidence by Ironing Out Lines and Wrinkles
Question: “Our company is planning a big corporate retreat in mid-January. I have to make a speech to all of our employees, including the CEO! I’m only 42, but the lines between my brows make me look much older than I am. It's shaking my confidence. Is there anything I can do without surgery?”
Answer: While your boss obviously thinks you are a wonderful representation of your company, it is important that you feel good about how you look when you are in the corporate spotlight.
If stubborn lines and wrinkles are threatening to put a damper your confidence, there is a non-surgical, minimally-invasive treatment that will put a smile on your face again.
Iron Out Lines and Wrinkles with Botox®
Celebrities have relied on Botox® to make them red-carpet-ready for nearly a decade. But they’re not the only people who use Botox® to get amazing results. Nearly 12 million Botox® Cosmetic procedures have been administered in the United States since its introduction to the market in 2002.
Fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes, nose and mouth prematurely age the face. They occur as a natural part of the aging process. As we age the collagen in our skin breaks down. Production of new collagen slows. Environmental factors like cigarette smoke and sun exposure exacerbate the natural aging process. In this compromised state our skin is loses its ability to bounce back quickly. Over time repeated actions like frowning, squinting and smiling etch permanent lines in our faces.
What is Botox® and how does it work?
Botox® is a purified protein that is injected directly into facial muscles to improve the look of moderate-to-severe frown lines. It blocks nerve signals that prompt muscles to contract. This relaxes the muscles and reduces activity that causes lines to form between the brows.
You’ll see marked improvement in moderate-to-severe frown lines within days of your Botox® injection. Over time the depth of the wrinkle decreases and the progression of lines is curtailed. The results last three to four months.
Many patients favor Botox® because this non-surgical, minimally-invasive treatment is quick, convenient and affordable. Your facial plastic surgeon can administer treatment in her office during your lunch break. Botox® offers noticeable results and minimal downtime.
To get the best results, Botox® should be administered four weeks before your big speech.
