Can BOTOX Be Reversed?
While BOTOX is one of the most popular beauty treatments available today, many prospective patients might wonder, before they join the millions who have enjoyed this beauty trend, if it’s possible to have it reversed. At the Plastic Surgery Institute of Washington, we have all the answers about BOTOX you need.
Is BOTOX Reversible?
The way BOTOX works achieves a temporary change. BOTOX is a neuromodulator, meaning it affects the function of the nerves responsible for moving the muscles that cause wrinkles. Once administered, BOTOX attaches to specific receptors of the muscle’s nerves. Once linked, the protein binds to the nerve ending, creating temporary relaxation of these muscles and a smooth appearance. This results in an effect that is not reversible, but it is also not permanent. The temporary result from BOTOX wears off after three to four months.
What is BOTOX?
BOTOX is a neurotoxin, a protein that temporarily inhibits the motion of the muscles that cause wrinkles to form. At the Plastic Surgery Institute of Washington, BOTOX is injected into the skin with a fine needle, and the results appear quickly, within a day to a week. BOTOX is also used for other aesthetic treatments such as a lip flip, or for conditions such as migraines, excessive sweating, and other unwanted conditions.
Why Get BOTOX?
There are many advantages to getting BOTOX. It is most commonly used to reduce wrinkles and create a youthful appearance. However, there are several other applications for BOTOX. BOTOX was initially designed to treat eye spasms since the neurotoxin in BOTOX relaxes the muscles causing such a spasm. This is why it is now a popular procedure for lazy eye symptoms.
Most patients love BOTOX because it’s a fast, simple treatment requiring no downtime. It is often called a “lunchtime treatment” because you can pop in for BOTOX at PSIW during your lunch break, and then carry on with your day as you usually would.
Is BOTOX Safe?
BOTOX is perfectly safe when administered by a skilled medical professional. One of the reasons it is so popular is the fact that it carries such a low risk while providing such an outstanding outcome. However, some mistakes can happen if you’re in the hands of a practitioner who lacks experience and training. That’s why it is vital to get your BOTOX from trained medical professionals like you will find at the Plastic Surgery Institute of Washington.
