Curious About Botox?
posted: Dec. 13, 2022.
More than 7,000,000 people get Botox treatments every year, and globally, the anti-aging treatment accounts for more than $4 billion in the cosmetic industry. The unparalleled popularity of Botox may make it seem like the perfect solution for aging. At Choice Dermatology, we offer Botox for people in Basking Ridge, Parlin, Union, NJ, and surrounding areas. Our goal, though, is to ensure that you receive the best treatments for your unique needs. When patients come to our offices in Parlin, Union, and Basking Ridge, NJ, Dr. Marc Meulener educates patients on all their options for anti-aging treatments.
Botox Won’t Treat Every Wrinkle
Generally speaking, a person may develop three types of wrinkles due to aging. Some wrinkles form due to decreased levels of hyaluronic acid, collagen, and elastin. These three substances provide the hydration, strength, and resilience it needs to prevent wrinkles. Other wrinkles develop when the fat in your face shifts downward. This is typically why people develop heavy jowls. The third type of wrinkle, known as dynamic wrinkles, is the result of facial contractions in the upper third of your face. These are some of the earliest signs of aging, and the only type of wrinkles that can be treated with Botox injections.
Botox Doesn’t Stop the Aging Process
Unfortunately, there is no way to stop the aging process. Although Botox is effective for dynamic wrinkles, the results only last four to six months. Dr. Meulener recommends that people in Basking Ridge, Parlin, Union, NJ, and surrounding have Botox injections three to four times per year.
Who Performs the Injections is Important
As with any type of cosmetic treatment, choosing the right person for the procedure is just as important as the product that you choose. As a board-certified dermatologist, Dr. Meulener has the expertise, knowledge, and experience to ensure that your Botox injections and other cosmetic treatments produce the best possible results. If Botox isn’t right for you, he recommends other options to rejuvenate your appearance.
