If you haven't tried Botox injections yet but you are constantly concerned about your fine lines and wrinkles, then it may be time for you to try them. With so much information out there on the internet, however, it can be hard to know if they are right for you. Here are some answers to some frequently asked questions about Botox.
FAQ: How Does It Work?
One of the most interesting things that patients learn about Botox is how it works exactly. The unique thing about Botox is that it doesn't fill in fine lines and wrinkles like many people think, but rather it works on a neuromuscular level which means it relaxes the facial muscles. Once the facial muscles are relaxed, you won't be able to make certain movements that make fine lines and wrinkles. The result? A smoother-looking complexion overall.
FAQ: Does It Work?
Yes. To ensure that you get results from your injections that you are pleased with, it's important to go with both a trusted provider and to have the right amount of Botox done. For instance, if you have deep wrinkles all across your forehead, your injector may recommend 30 or more units to get the right results, which may be more than you want to spend but it's a great way for you to get results.
FAQ: How Long Does It Last?
How fast your body metabolizes your Botox will determine just how long it lasts for. On average, however, you can expect your injections to last anywhere from 3-6 months.
FAQ: Does It Hurt?
The needles used for Botox injections are really tiny and all you should feel is a small poke when you are getting injections done. If you get injections done close to your eyes or around your eyes, the poking sensation may cause your eyes to water which is totally normal.
FAQ: Are You Too Young to Get Botox in Your Twenties?
While one person in their twenties may need Botox, another person may not. Depending on your skin type and how much sun exposure you've had, you may have more or fewer wrinkles than other people your exact same age.
The best way for you to determine whether or not you are too young for Botox is to schedule an appointment with your esthetician. During your first appointment, they will have you make several facial movements, and then they will see if your skin goes back to a relaxed state or if the wrinkles last. If they last, then you may be the perfect candidate.

All of my life, I was picked on for having a larger nose that most other people. I had dealt with picking and torment throughout high school and college, but once I graduated from college, I decided to make a few changes to the way that I look. Some people are not so open to cosmetic procedures and gave me a hard time about my choice, but after the procedure was complete and my nose was healed, they could see why I did what I did. You can follow my story on my website. Here, you will learn what I went through before, during and after my procedure.
