Filtered Without The Phone: The Botox Facial
We have almost all heard of Botox as that magical little injectable toxin that has managed to retain and restore beauty and ultimately confidence in so many patients. Botox, inserted beneath the skin into targeted muscles, aims to reduce movement and relax fine lines and wrinkles. Treated injectable areas typically include horizontal forehead lines, crow’s feet, and the 11’s found in the glabeller lines between the eyebrows. Now Botox can be utilized on the skin’s surface to revitalize and rejuvenate through the innovation of microneedling.
About Microneedling
Microneedling utilizes a deeply penetrative and minimally invasive technique with the help of a handheld device made with dozens of very tiny “micro” needles. These small needles are able to create tiny punctures on the skins surface and stimulate the body’s healing and remodeling response. This process can boost the production of collagen and elastin while increasing the blood supply to the area to promote skin’s restoration. Combining this procedure with targeted skincare products specific to each patient’s individual concerns has become one of medical esthetics most popular services. Microneedling has been used to address everything from tightening fine lines and wrinkles to diminishing the appearance of scars. The introduction of Botox to the microneedling process takes it one step further and helps to target skin and anti-aging concerns even further.
How it’s done
The Botox facial will begin with a consultation led by our medical esthetician Lyndsey Crandall where she will address the specific skin concerns for each patient. A custom blend of products will then be selected to be mixed with the Botox during the microneedling process. These products can target large pores and texture for more acne prone patients or even overall smoothing and tightening for those concerned with the appearance of aging. Following the procedure some redness, dryness, and skin sensitivity is normal for around 1 to 3 days after which you can expect to start seeing results. Botox Facial results typically last around 3 to 4 months before needing re-treatment and should be accompanied by a diligent skincare routine.
The Botox facial is a great way to delve into the world of neurotoxins and esthetics treatments simultaneously while giving you a fresh youthful glow. Some patients have described their Botox facial results as being like a photo filter in real life. Take your revitalization to the next level with the Botox facial and see how this innovative skincare technique can work for you!
