7 Reasons to Consider BOTOX® Cosmetic Before the Holidays!
As of 2018, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons noted that Botox injections had increased by 845% since the year 2000. That’s not a typo and is a testament to how safe and socially accepted Botox has become over the past two decades.
Unlike dermal fillers, Botox is an injectable treatment that blocks nerve signals and forces facial muscles to relax. Hence, forehead wrinkles get smoother while minimizing frown lines and crow’s feet.
With treatments being so quick and simple, why not consider getting Botox for yourself during the holidays?
Benefits of Getting BOTOX This Holiday Season
After a quick in-and-out office procedure, Botox results can last up to six months. Here are some other benefits of getting Botox:
-
BOTOX is safe and effective
Aside from being approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Botox has a long-standing safety record among the millions of people who have availed of it. The FDA deemed Botox safe and effective for its intended uses.
-
BOTOX is affordable
Getting Botox is actually more affordable than a lot of overpriced cosmetics you’ll likely find in your bathroom. It is more affordable than what you would spend monthly or annually on makeup, skincare, facials, etc.
-
BOTOX is a quick treatment
Because you’ll likely be rushing between engagements to party all throughout the holidays, time really is of the essence. How convenient is it that a Botox treatment only takes between 2-7 minutes to complete?
-
BOTOX has no downtime
While the hustle and bustle associated with the end of the year can leave you exhausted and your face looking weary, it’s perfectly understandable. There are times that dark circles appear under your eyes or your skin starts to sag because of the lack of sleep.
There seems to be no end to the social interactions we go through and there’s always pressure to look your best when doing so. The good news is that after one session of Botox, you will look refreshed and well-rested to take on the holidays. -
BOTOX can address multiple areas
Most of us have heard of how Botox can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. But do you know that this powerful injectable can do a lot more?
Botox can treat the excess movement of the upper lip, also known as a gummy smile. When people grin or laugh, it excessively reveals both the teeth and gum tissue. A little Botox injected to target the muscles that exaggerate the raise of the upper lip can reduce full movement to significantly soften and improve that gummy smile.
Botox can also benefit those with a wide jawline due to an enlarged masseter or chewing muscle. Some are born with larger masseter muscles and others see an increase in size due to teeth clenching or grinding. When Botox is injected into the masseters, it progressively relaxes and reduces the size. This gives the lower third of the face a more slimming effect.
Botox can even treat one of the most common signs of aging, prominent neck bands. As the skin becomes thinner with age, neck bands become more visible. Botox can be injected directly into the neck bands to weaken and relax the bands so they no longer visibly protrude. Botox injections earlier on can prevent the bands from getting worse over time.

BOTOX can prevent future wrinkles
As previously mentioned, Botox blocks nerve signals from reaching muscles. As a result of muscles not being able to contract, wrinkles will instead soften and relax.
Inhibiting muscle movement relaxes and trains facial movements to prevent wrinkles from forming. Therefore, Botox is a great preventative method to start before the wrinkles are visible when the face is at rest. It is more challenging to treat deeper lines and wrinkles when it is visible at rest.
It’s the main reason some patients have already started getting Botox treatments as early as their 20s. Multiple clinical studies have shown evidence that people who start getting Botox earlier have proven to develop fewer and less severe wrinkles in the future.
-
BOTOX can improve your confidence
Many people who have received Botox treatments have boasted about an increase in confidence and being more self-assured. That’s a benefit for both their self-image as well as their social and professional face-to-face interactions.
