As you grow old, you may notice signs of aging, such as wrinkle formation. Fortunately, various cosmetic procedures such as Botox help prevent these aging effects. However, knowing when to get Botox can be challenging as there's no defined age or time. With these signs, you can know that it's time to get Botox treatment.
Forehead Wrinkle Formation
In many cases, wrinkles start forming in the later adult years. Wrinkles are defined lines that appear mainly on the forehead, between the eyebrows. Fortunately, Botox works by numbing the activity of overactive facial muscles hence preventing wrinkle formation. You should get Botox injections when the lines start forming for fast and better results. When deep wrinkles form, the skin around the wrinkles is thin. Thus, you may need more Botox injections to achieve good results, which may take time.
Crow's Feet
Crow's feet are a condition where defined lines or wrinkles form around the corners of your eyes. There are two types of these wrinkles:
-
Dynamic: Mainly form due to facial expressions such as eyebrow raises, smiles, and frowns.
-
Static: Form due to natural occurrences, such as aging and gravity. As you age, the skin loses its elasticity and becomes prone to creasing.
Botox treatment can help prevent the eye muscles' contraction and relaxation effect, hence preventing crow's feet.
Smoker's Lines or Lip Wrinkles
Smoker's lines are small vertical lines that form on the lips of older adults and are difficult to cover up. The wrinkles can form on both lips and usually stretch across the mouth. In some cases, lip wrinkles may stretch upwards towards your nose. Lipstick settling on these lip wrinkles is a common occurrence making the lines more pronounced.
Lip wrinkles form primarily due to aging as the skin loses collagen and elasticity. Exposure to the sun's UV rays can also damage the skin, causing wrinkles. Further, smoking can cause wrinkle formation as the lifestyle usually causes premature aging. Whatever the reason for lip wrinkle formation, Botox treatment can help release the muscles around the lips preventing the wrinkles from forming.
Asymmetric Facial Features
If you notice that your facial features are asymmetric, you need Botox treatment. For instance, one eyebrow may be rising higher than the other. Also, your smile may be one-sided, and this may lead to low self-confidence. Fortunately, Botox can relax the constricted muscles on the face's rigid areas, creating a more symmetric appearance if done correctly.
Crow's feet, wrinkle formation, asymmetric facial features, and lip wrinkles show that you need Botox injections. Consider getting Botox treatment when you see these indicators.
