Dr. Steve Jepson with the Utah Dermatologic & Medical Procedures Clinic explains how Botox can offer a refreshed, natural look.

Most patients contemplating Botox Cosmetic for the first time express a fear their face will be paralyzed and expressionless. They do not want to look like a “Stepford Wife” And I always reassure them that this, in fact, won’t happen. Botox Cosmetic can instead be a great way to minimize deep facial wrinkling and give your face a more rested, youthful appearance, while preserving both your natural look and the ability to express yourself . We can also use Botox Cosmetic to shape eyebrows, lift the corners of your mouth, and enhance the appearance of your lips.

Botox Cosmetic is a purified and diluted form of Botulism Toxin. However, the doses used are so miniscule, that there needs to be no fear of ever having any effects elsewhere in your body. Botox Cosmetic should be thought of as a natural muscle relaxant. It is an extremely safe and reliable procedure.

Botox Cosmetic is typically used to relax the major muscle groups in the forehead and eye regions. The end effect is to minimize the frown lines between the eyes, the surprise lines in the forehead, and the crow’s feet lines around the eyes. With time these lines can become permanently ingrained into your skin. Regular use of Botox will keep you skin smooth in these areas. If those lines have already starting to deepen, regular use of Botox can significantly reduce their appearance.

Botox Cosmetic can also be strategically placed in the eyebrow region to shape the eyebrow. Using this technique, eyebrows can be arched, flared, or lifted. Also, some people have eyebrow asymmetry – one side, for example, will be naturally more arched than the other side. Botox can be used to “equalize” the eyebrows and restore symmetry.

Botox Cosmetic has traditionally been used for the upper face, but now we are using it on the lower face as well. Botox can be injected around the lips to increase their “poutiness” (it will also decrease the lines that can form above the lips). We can inject Botox under the mouth to lift sagging corners. We can inject Botox in the chin to minimize “bumpiness”. We can inject Botox in the nose to get rid of “bunny wrinkles”. And we can inject Botox into the neck to minimize the “cords” that can come with age. You can see that Botox Cosmetic injections have become extremely versatile.

Botox Cosmetic is injected using an extremely small needle and only a small amount of fluid is injected with each shot. Discomfort is therefore minimal. Botox should last anywhere from 3-4 months if done correctly. I find that most clients who try Botox love it so much, that it becomes a regular 4 month event for them.
