FOR A REFRESHED, REJUVENATED APPEARANCE, BOTOX® STILL OFTEN WORKS THE BEST. READ TO FIND OUT WHY THIS TYPE OF COSMETIC ANTI-AGING TREATMENT IS SO POPULAR AND HOW YOU CAN BENEFIT FROM BOTOX INJECTIONS.

Every new year seems to bring new cosmetic treatments to medspas like MediFreda in Williston Park and Queens, New York. However, as MediFreda patients from Manhasset, Roslyn, New Hyde Park, Nassau County, Suffolk County, and the communities of Long Island know, your best bet for great anti-aging cosmetic results is often the old standby: Botox® injections.


More adults in the United States ask for Botox than any other minimally invasive cosmetic procedure. Why does Botox remain such a popular cosmetic treatment, year after year? Let Freda Borukhov, PA, and her expert team of providers explain the benefits of Botox.

Flexible anti-aging treatment with Botox

One of the reasons behind Botox’s enduring popularity is the flexibility of this anti-aging cosmetic treatment. Botox can reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and aging skin. The FDA approves Botox as a treatment for lines around your mouth, nose, eyes, eyebrows, forehead, and more.

Use Botox to temporarily get rid of dynamic wrinkles including:

  • Frown lines or marionette lines
  • Crow’s feet
  • Forehead wrinkles

 

Botox treatment only addresses dynamic wrinkles that are related to the impact of muscle movements on your skin. However, it’s also easy to pair Botox with other anti-aging cosmetic treatments like dermal fillers for a more completely rejuvenated appearance.

Your provider at MediFreda tailors your Botox treatment to your cosmetic goals. You can opt for more or fewer injection points, targeting different treatment areas. And, we can use as light a hand with your Botox as desired, ensuring you don’t lose facial expressiveness and still look like your (younger!) self.

At MediFreda, you can also opt for anti-aging cosmetic treatment with Dysport®, a similar injection procedure designed to temporarily erase frown lines between your eyebrows with results lasting as long as five months.

Quick anti-aging results

Another big reason for the ongoing popularity of Botox as a cosmetic option relates to how quick, easy, and painless it is to get this type of treatment.

Your Botox injection treatment session at the MediFreda offices typically takes less than an hour of your time. The injection procedure itself only takes a few minutes. During your treatment, we use gentle anesthetics to make sure you remain comfortable. Botox injections only use very small needles, and most people tolerate the treatment well.

You don’t need to plan on extensive downtime after your nonsurgical Botox injections. Don’t rub the treated area for the first day. Any side effects, such as redness, swelling, or bruising around injection sites, typically fade within a day or two. If you experience severe or lasting side effects, let our team know.

Results start to appear 1-3 days after your injection appointment. You should see full results within about a week, as the injected botulinum toxin blocks nerve signals to targeted muscles in your face, neck, or chest. Botox prevents muscle contraction, smoothing the surface of your skin for a more youthful appearance.

Your results with Botox last for about 3-4 months. You can renew your Botox injections to maintain your rejuvenated and refreshed appearance. As your skin changes over time, our team continues to work with you to use Botox for optimum anti-aging efficacy.
