The post The Best 3 Areas to Get Botox and Why Palo Alto Laser & Skin Care is the Top Choice appeared first on Palo Alto Laser & Skin Care.

In the realm of aesthetic enhancements, Botox stands as a timeless titan, revered for its ability to diminish wrinkles and rejuvenate the skin. At Palo Alto Laser & Skin Care, we understand the allure of Botox and strive to provide our clients with comprehensive insights into its transformative potential. Today, we delve into two crucial questions that often guide individuals on their journey towards enhancing their natural beauty: What are the three areas of Botox, and how long does it last?

Three Areas of Botox:

Botox, or botulinum toxin, is renowned for its versatility in addressing various aesthetic concerns. At Palo Alto Laser & Skin Care, our skilled practitioners specialize in targeting three primary areas with Botox injections:

a. Forehead Lines: Over time, repetitive facial expressions can lead to the formation of horizontal lines across the forehead. Botox effectively softens these lines by temporarily relaxing the underlying muscles, resulting in a smoother and more youthful appearance.

b. Glabellar Lines (Frown Lines): Also known as “frown lines” or “11 lines,” glabellar lines form between the eyebrows due to muscle contractions associated with squinting or frowning. Botox injections precisely target these muscles, reducing their activity and visibly diminishing the appearance of vertical furrows.

c. Crow’s Feet: Crow’s feet, the fine lines that radiate from the corners of the eyes, are a common concern for many individuals seeking facial rejuvenation. By strategically administering Botox around the eyes, our experts can relax the muscles responsible for these wrinkles, resulting in a more refreshed and youthful look.

Duration of Botox Effects:

One of the most frequently asked questions about Botox pertains to its longevity. While individual results may vary, the effects of Botox typically last anywhere from three to six months. At Palo Alto Laser & Skin Care, we emphasize the importance of scheduling periodic maintenance appointments to sustain optimal results over time.

Factors such as metabolism, muscle strength, and dosage can influence the duration of Botox’s effects. However, our experienced practitioners work closely with each client to tailor their treatment plan according to their unique aesthetic goals and physiological characteristics.

Additionally, consistent Botox treatments may lead to prolonged benefits, as regular injections can help train the muscles to remain in a more relaxed state, thereby reducing the formation of new wrinkles.

In conclusion, Botox remains a cornerstone of modern aesthetic medicine, offering unparalleled results in the realm of wrinkle reduction and facial rejuvenation. At Palo Alto Laser & Skin Care, we pride ourselves on our expertise in harnessing the power of Botox to help our clients achieve their desired aesthetic transformations. Whether addressing forehead lines, glabellar lines, or crow’s feet, our goal is to provide personalized care that yields natural-looking and long-lasting results. This treatment is perfect for summer time as there is little to no downtime and you can easily be in the sun before and after each treatment. If you’re ready to embark on a journey towards a more youthful and radiant appearance, we invite you to explore the transformative possibilities of Botox with us.

Botox has been around for decades and works by temporarily freezing or paralyzing targeted muscles that cause lines, wrinkles, and folds. Increasingly, it has been being used by younger clients for preventative measures. If you can stop lines and wrinkles from prematurely forming—prevention bests a cure every time. Botox can also be used to produce the illusion of a fuller upper lip while masking a gummy smile. This is done via a lip flip, where small amounts of Botox are injected into the upper lip area. Results only last about three months on average since this is a very mobile area. You can also get a small lift in the brow with Botox or use it to help with excessive sweating (which tends to happen in the summer months). Botox is a go-to method for cosmetic and medical uses, and you can learn more about its benefits during a complimentary consultation.

Dermal Filler Fun

Dermal fillers are usually made of synthetic hyaluronic acid (HA), with natural HA already occurring in our bodies. HA draws moisture to the area, making it a very natural-looking filler. You can get fillers injected virtually anywhere in the face, jawline, and tops of the hands. The results last anywhere from 6 – 18 months on average depending on the type of filler, the injection site, and the number of syringes used. Today’s trend is less about getting fillers in just one area, such as the lips, and more about taking a holistic approach to dermal fillers.

Some of the most popular sites for dermal fillers are the jawline, below the eyes (in the hollows), on the temples, and in the cheeks. Dermal fillers can create volume where there never was, but more importantly they address an overlooked sign of aging: loss of volume. When we get older, we lose the good fat in our face that makes us appear young. Dermal fillers can reverse that, making them work very well with Botox. They tackle lost volume while also filling in lines and wrinkles in some instances, while Botox freezes lines and wrinkles at the muscular level.

Kybella for Youth

Anyone can have a double chin regardless of weight or size. If your double chin is caused by a pocket of fat in the submental area, Kybella can help. It requires a series of injections using a “stamping” device that delivers synthetic deoxycholic acid right to the problem area. This acid already occurs naturally in the body and literally melts away fat. You’ll see significant results one month after your first session, with improved results every session after that. Kybella can’t be a “one and done” procedure because your provider needs to be vigilant about not dissolving too much fat. Striking the right balance takes a series of injections.

However, once the fat is melted away with Kybella, it’s gone for good. You can enjoy a jawline that’s stronger, a dissolved double chin, and a younger, more slender, and healthier look. All of these injectables—Botox, fillers, and Kybella—require little to no downtime. Fillers may cause some swelling and all may cause some light bruising, but it’s nothing that will require a recovery period. Start now and end this summer looking and feeling your best.

Also known as “orange-peel chin,” dimpled chins are one of the lesser talked about signs of aging. There are some topicals that claim to help, and although moisturized skin is always going to look plumper and healthier, there’s no cream that will correct chin dimpling. When the chin muscles are overactive, or are more visible due to facial volume loss, the only way to stop dimpling is by stopping muscle movement. Ferreira put off Botox in this area for years, scared that it would affect her smile (spoiler: it doesn’t). She didn’t see the dimpling in the mirror, but it started to show up more and more in selfies and other photos. She also compared it to “dimpled resting B face” whenever her mouth was closed (due to unconscious clenching). When she heard that her sister’s wedding photographer specialized in candid photos, she finally decided to do something about it.

Botox for Every Part of the Face

Ferreira was nervous because although Botox is a time-tested solution for lines and wrinkles, there’s not a lot of online accounts about Botoxing the chin. However, Botox is one of the safest in-office procedures. Her doctor explained to her that “an orange-peel chin is the term used to describe a textural change with grooves, dimples, and a pitting appearance of the chin when you are puckering or sometimes resting … the dimpling is caused because part of this muscle is superficial and inserts into the skin of the chin.” In other words, even quite young people can have orange-peel chin, but we are more inclined towards it as we get older.

Ferreira needed just two injection spots on her chin for the best results. It’s critical that only the mentalis muscle is injected with Botox, rather than adjacent muscles, otherwise smiles can be compromised. This is yet another reason to only see a skilled injector for Botox or fillers, such as those at our clinic that are all personally trained by Zuzana Likar. Results from any Botox injection are not immediate, but appear within about 4 – 7 days post-injection. Results are also temporary, lasting 3 – 6 months on average. However, Ferreira noticed some improvement after just one day. One week later, she found her chin to be totally dimple-free and smooth. “The best part was I looked just like myself,” she says, “only without the dimpled chin.”

Chin Up

As a bonus, Botox in the chin is one of the most affordable sites because relatively little Botox is needed. One year later, Ferreira says she maintains her Botox sessions because it has “greatly improved” her chin dimples. Even when the Botox starts to wear off (at about four months for her), the dimpling comes back slowly and subtly. She’s proud to say, “I’m fortunate to be at a place with my self-esteem and body image where there is literally nothing else on my face that bothers me.” She also appreciates taking a preventative approach to chin dimpling, as Botox is known for weakening muscles that cause unwanted dimpling, lines, or wrinkles. When people are young, dimples and wrinkles are dynamic. But as we age, they become more static. Botox can help delay that process.

Ferreira encourages anyone with the same issue to consider Botox. “When I experienced how simple and safe my Botox procedure was—along with my natural-looking results—I began reframing my perception of beauty injectables,” she says.

Botox is best known for stopping lines, wrinkles, and creases in their tracks. This is achieved by temporarily “freezing” the muscles that cause these unwanted signs of aging. Botox is the most-used neuromodulator and results typically last for 3 – 6 months depending on the injection site and number of units used. Younger clients are increasingly using Botox as a preventative measure to train muscles not to create such deep lines in the first place. However, there are also a myriad of off-label uses for this injectable.

Turning Back the Clock

Botox can do a lot more than address wrinkles. It is also an excellent tool for giving a slight arch to the eyebrows. You can also use small amounts of Botox for a “lip flip,” which essentially flips the upper lip outward so that more vermillion shows. This can help hide a gummy smile and provides the appearance of fuller lips without actually increasing volume. However, for those who do want more voluminous lips—or more volume anywhere on the face—dermal fillers are most often the best option.

The majority of dermal fillers are made with a synthetic form of hyaluronic acid (HA). The HA our body naturally produces attracts water, which is why HA is associated with youthfulness and plumping. The results from dermal fillers are immediate, though some slight swelling and redness is common. Fillers, like Botox, are also temporary, but you still want to make sure you get results you love. “Duck lips” and “trout pout” might be short-term, but since most fillers are in highly visible places you want natural-looking results. An injector without the training, skills, and experience might give you an outcome that is poor and very fake looking.

The Latest in Injectables

There are a few dermal “fillers” that aren’t fillers at all. Instead, they work via collagen induction. Results are not immediate, and it can take up to six months to see results, although slow and steady improvement in volume will be noticed during this waiting period. The benefits of such fillers are that they tend to last longer (up to two years on average compared to the 6 – 18 months offered by HA fillers). Plus, a handful of clients prefer an “all natural” approach to volume improvement. You can also achieve collagen induction with a myriad of other treatments, such as microneedling. Non-HA fillers are less common and newer than HA fillers.

Another recent development in the world of injectables is Kybella. This procedure relies on a series of synthetic deoxycholic acid injected using a specialized stamping device. It treats unwanted fat in the submental (under-chin) area. On average, about 3 – 6 cycles spaced one month apart are needed for most clients. Conservative injections are given because it’s crucial not to over-correct. Once fat is gone with Kybella, it’s gone for good. Nearby fat cells can expand if weight gain occurs, but the specific cells burned with Kybella will not return. It’s important to know if double chins are caused by fat, sagging skin, or both. This can be discussed during your consultation, which is always complimentary. If sagging skin is also a problem, this can be addressed with a variety of in-office skin tightening treatments.

The post Most Popular Spring Injectables appeared first on Palo Alto Laser & Skin Care.

For Caruso, she starts by stressing that she’s a “big fan of Botox—huge.” She has used it regularly throughout the past six years, only messing up her Botox routine during the peak of COVID. She says, “Like most users, I love how Botox smooths my fine lines and keeps deeper wrinkles from forming.” However, it also takes Botox 1 – 2 weeks to fully “work” and it can wear off in a few months depending on how many units are injected and the injection site. The FDA just approved Daxxify, and Caruso had heard stories about how well it worked. But what’s the difference between the two injectables?

Neuromodulator Differences

All neuromodulators that have FDA approval report a high patient satisfaction rate. Of course, everyone wants the result to last as long as possible. In clinical studies, Daxxify (also known as Daxi) lasts six months on average. That is longer than Botox and competitors like Dysport, Jeaveau, and Xeomin. It allegedly lasts longer because of the number of peptides in the formula, although this change does not shift how it’s delivering the botulinum toxin to the nerve cells. Instead, peptides can help to foster the interaction between the injectable and the nerve cells. Peptides are positively charged, binding to the core neurotoxin that is negatively charged (along with the nerve cells, which are also negatively charged). Some say this means longer-lasting results.

Also, right now Daxxify is only FDA approved for treating the glabellar lines, also known as the “angry 11’s” between the brows. Botox is approved for many more areas. This may or may not make a difference to users since neuromodulators are typically used off-label, meaning that patients regularly have them injected in other areas. Caruso went to a clinic that has been offering Daxxify since December, and has thus far only tried it on staff as well as “well-established patients with a history of success using other neurotoxins.” The team there also pointed out that only patients who wanted “less mobility for a longer period of time” were offered Daxxify as an option, since that isn’t the goal for everyone.

One Person’s Daxi Journey

Caruso reports, “Because I’m not particularly enthusiastic about looking frozen, [the injector] used a light hand on me—26 units, to be exact—distributed between my forehead (technically an off-label use) and my 11 lines.” She points out that, “This is only 65 percent of the FDA-approved, 40-unit dosage used to treat the area between the brows alone.” Compared that to Botox, whose FDA approval for between the brows is just 20 units. However, FDA approval is largely based on the strength of the neurotoxin. In this case, 20 units of Botox is the “same” strength as 40 units of Daxxify between the brows.

Daxi is anecdotally known amongst injectors who have used it to give a more “immobile” and “glossy” look to the injection site. This is crucial in deciding not only which neuromodulator to use, but how many units. Daxi is not being used for more creative results, such as the lip flip, since nobody really knows how the results would look.

Caruso’s Daxxify Results

There is no real-world data yet to see how long Daxxify works or how quickly you see results. For Caruso, she says within 24 hours “the effect was significant.” She estimates that it was fully in effect after three days of being injected. However, that comes with a price—the cost of Daxxify depends on the location, but on average it costs 50 – 100 percent more than Botox. If cost is a factor in your decision, the best-case scenario is that you will spend the same in a year for neuromodulators.

Caruso says she’s obviously still waiting to see how long her results last. Until then, most people are waiting for others to report on their success rates before trying something so new. For now, Botox remains the gold standard, and you can book your appointment at Palo Alto Laser and Skin Care by calling the office or completing the online contact form.

Botox works by blocking the body’s release of acetylcholine, which leads to a temporary paralysis in targeted muscles. Paralysis usually begins to occur 24 hours after the injection with full paralysis at two weeks. The results of Botox typically last 3 – 6 months. Researchers found that the “optimal dose” of Botox is 20 units per site. “However,” writes the team, “in certain circumstances, the effect of Botox will gradually resolve, resulting in reduced muscle paralysis over time.” This means some tolerance is common, but also exacerbated by the body’s natural increase of wrinkles and lines with age.

Is Botox Effective?

“Botox is a good and safe medicine to reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles,” the researchers concluded. It has been used since the 1970s in the ophthalmology field and more commonly in the past 20 years for a variety of health and beauty concerns, including in dermatology. Botox for facial wrinkles, and particularly the angry 11’s between the brows, received FDA approval in 2002. Another type of Botox, created in France, was approved by the FDA in 2009. The researchers traced their review back to a 1994 study which explored the effectiveness of Botox A (the first type approved by the FDA), which touted it as a good option for reducing facial wrinkles—numerous studies since then have supported these findings.

Today, of course, Botox is not used to just treat the glabellar lines. It can be injected virtually anywhere in the face or body, and in the face it is often used around the lips for smoker’s lines, for marionette lines, the platysma bands in the neck, horizontal lines on the forehead, for strabismus, and various other problem areas.

The research team also wanted to compare Botox to dermal fillers and non-invasive options like facial muscle exercises. They looked at many of the widely used hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers, which are comprised of a synthetic form of the acid that is naturally found in the body to provide plumpness and volume. Both the “real” and synthetic HA attract water, which leads to an attractive swelling that can still withstand compressive pressure. This makes it ideal as a dermal filler.

Comparing Botox and Fillers

When it comes to contraindications, they are similar between Botox and fillers (such as those with bleeding disorders or hypersensitivity to the ingredients that make up the products). However, although injector skill is critical for both Botox and fillers, the researchers stress that “the use of filler is very dependent on operator expertise [and] there are several side effects associated with injecting techniques such as unrealistic patient expectations, undercorrection, overcorrection and lumping.”

Lumping is something that is more common with fillers than with Botox. It occurs when the placement of filler is incorrect and/or there is lack of injector massage. This can result in an unattractive, bumpy appearance that can take several months to dissipate. Still, the research team notes that for both Botox and fillers, clients should take every measure to choose an injector who is reputable and skilled.

Getting Results You’ll Love

The researchers also looked at facial exercises to reduce facial wrinkles, noting that while it’s completely non-invasive and can be done without professional expertise, it takes constant work. Plus, you simply can’t compare the results of Botox (or fillers) with daily exercises as “there are still very limited clinical trials.” Ultimately, if you’re looking to stop lines and wrinkles caused by muscles, Botox can help. If you want to add volume where it has been lost (which can also result in wrinkling) or add volume where you’ve always wanted it, dermal fillers are the key. Depend on expert injectors, all trained by Zuzana Likar to her exacting standards.

1. Botox for prevention. What causes lines and wrinkles in the first place? There are a few factors, including skin laxity due to collagen loss, but simple repetitive movements are also to blame. Many wrinkles, such as the “angry elevens” between the brows, are typically caused by muscles being used repetitively. When we furrow our brow, eventually lines will form there—it’s the same as when we lift weights, muscles simply get stronger with use. This means we can also keep them still and “weak,” thus training them not to create such lines in the first place. Botox for prevention can begin as soon as your early 20s. Sticking to this regimen can help you avoid more aggressive procedures for several years.

2. Botox for a lip flip. The lip flip does not use a dermal filler, though it can mimic the look of one. A lip flip requires the injection of very small amounts of Botox along the upper lip line. It relaxes these muscles to soften a gummy smile, “flipping” the lip outward to mimic the appearance of a fuller lip. However, keep in mind that Botox for a lip flip only lasts about three months on average (compared to six months at other injection sites). However, if you want to experiment with a fuller upper lip before committing to a lip filler, a lip flip can be a fantastic solution.

3. Botox for excessive sweating. Have you noticed that you are sweating out of your holiday sweaters? Botox has long been an effective means of stopping excessive sweating and can be injected into virtually any part of the body. Just like it freezes muscles, it can also affect the process that causes sweating.

4. Botox for an eyebrow lift. If you’ve previously had Botox injections in the forehead for wrinkles, maybe your provider has talked about using it as a temporary lift. Similar to a lip flip, when Botox is injected at precise locations above the brow, it can provide a subtle lifting effect. This is ideal for those who simply want a higher arch than what they were born with or for those who are seeing the early signs of a necessary surgical brow lift in the future.

5. Botox for migraines. Studies have shown that Botox injected at key points in the temples is effective at preventing and stopping migraines. You may experience this benefit if you already desire Botox in this area. While this is a medical injection rather than a cosmetic one, it is a benefit to keep in mind. Also, recent studies have shown that, similarly, Botox can be helpful in aiding symptoms of depression.

When you combine Botox with other treatments, such as fillers and Kybella, you can take your results to the next level. The majority of fillers are made with a synthetic version of hyaluronic acid (HA), an acid that already occurs in the body, and yield immediate results. Kybella uses a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, another acid that occurs in the body, and dissolves fat in the submental area that causes a double chin. You only need one appointment for Botox and filler injections (with results lasting 6 – 12 months on average), but Kybella requires a series of around 4 – 6 sessions spaced one month apart for optimal results.

We know the lip flip works and we know the average timeframe of these results. What is of interest is what the research showed when it comes to assessing if this minimally invasive procedure might be useful as the only treatment to reduce a gummy smile. Subjects included in the study were all willing to get the lip flip, regardless of whether a surgeon had suggested another method. In total, there were 32 subjects divided into two categories. Group one had a gummy smile less than 5mm and were treated with three units of Botox. The other group had a gummy smile larger than 5mm and they received five units of Botox. Each group had two cycles within seven months (a proper timeframe) and kept in touch with researchers for the first 14 months.

Flipping Out Over Botox

All patients tolerated the procedure well according to researchers. There were no allergic reaction or antibody formation associated with the treatment. Both groups demonstrated “excellent” results for three months after the injection. At that point, all reported their gummy smile slowly returning. The authors note that “significant changes” appeared at the five-month mark. This is in keeping with what is already known about the lip flip and while it is not surprising to providers that the lip flip gives fantastic results and requires quarterly treatments, it might come as a pleasant surprise for those looking for an alternative or complement to lip fillers.

In conclusion, the researchers “recommend use of BT [Botox] for the treatment of a gummy smile as the technique is safe, economical and easy to use.” They point out that it is not long-lasting and that it might encourage patients to opt for a surgical fix in the future. However, there are options other than surgery for this common condition. Dermal fillers and “fillers” that often fall into this category but are actually collagen induction therapy can also work. It all depends on the severity of the gumminess, the client, and the look they want to achieve.

Botox Does it All

The lip flip is just one of the many uses for Botox. Increasingly, younger and younger patients are opting for the neuromodulator in order to prevent wrinkles before they form. You can train the muscles causing furrows to be weaker and, in turn, less able to create lines. Botox is also commonly injected along the browline to create a slight arch, which can be a fantastic alternative to a minor brow lift. This area is not nearly as mobile as the lips, so results tend to last longer.

There are also many non-aesthetic uses for Botox, such as using the neuromodulator to stop excessive sweating, prevent and treat migraines, and recent studies have even shown that it can help reduce severity of anxiety in those struggling with this common mental health concern. Botox can seemingly do it all, but remember that the skill of the injector is also of utmost importance. That’s why here, Zuzana Likar personally trains every provider so you can get the best results.

No matter the cause of your skin laxity, you have treatment options. However, keep in mind that at a certain point, laxity might be so severe that only surgical intervention is recommended. Until then, take a look at our top recommended non-invasive and minimally-invasive options:

1. Lasers!

Laser skin rejuvenation is one of the best ways to tighten the skin while also taking care of a host of other common problems like hyperpigmentation and poor tone. We have one of the largest collections of lasers in the region with options for all skin tones. Two great options for skin tightening include the Fraxel Dual and CO2 lasers. You can expect some pinkness after these treatments, but the downtime is quite brief and easy.

Alternatively, gentler lasers like broadband light (BBL) and Clear + Brilliant can also help with skin tightening. However, these are not as aggressive as some other lasers (in fact, Clear + Brilliant is often recommended as a pre-juvenation treatment for those in their twenties). The right laser for you will be decided in collaboration with your aesthetician. Keep in mind that laser treatments are not usually “one and done,” but rather require multiple treatments, with routine maintenance sessions, for the best results.

2. Dermal fillers.

Sometimes the best way to correct skin laxity isn’t by tightening the skin, but rather by filling in the lost volume. When we start to lose the “good fat” in our face and tops of our hands, it can lead to a witch-like, hollow appearance. When lost volume is the culprit, tightening the skin (either through surgery or lasers) will not give you the results you want. Instead, a dermal filler such as a hyaluronic injectable (HA) like Juvederm can restore a youthful appearance.

There are also “fillers” that don’t provide immediate results like HA based ones, but instead work via collagen induction therapy. They take some time for results to show, but offer results that last longer than HA fillers (up to two years).

3. Botox.

Botox to freeze lines and wrinkles that highlight skin laxity. In some cases, you can’t tell skin is lax if wrinkles, lines, and creases are gone! Botox isn’t technically a skin tightening treatment, but it can address the end result of lax skin. Many people consider Botox a staple maintenance treatment with injections needed every 3 – 6 months depending on the treatment site. You can also use Botox as a preventative measure, training muscles to avoid forming lines in the first place.

4. Thermage FLX

Thermage FLX is all about skin tightening. It works via collagen induction therapy, heating up the deeper layers of tissue without harming the superficial layer. Designed specifically to tighten skin on the face and body, most people need just one treatment to get the best results (which last up to two years). This treatment is exclusively used to tighten and tone the skin with results so significant that it has been dubbed a surgical lift alternative.

5. Morpheus 8

Morpheus8 Fractional RF Microneedling combines two tightening procedures in one. This latest technology combines radiofrequency (RF) energy with the power of microneedling, delivering both treatments at once. Both RF and microneedling kick-start collagen production at the treatment site, so you can double down on your commitment to turning back the clock.

When it comes to getting skin that looks youthful, taking care of laxity is a must. However, remember that there are other signs of aging such as lost volume and sun damage. Let’s work together to create the ultimate treatment plan for you using the latest aesthetic services. It’s not just the treatment but the provider that makes all the difference in your results, so work with the best.
