At Wellskin Med Spa in Dallas, TX, we firmly believe in the power of enhancing your natural beauty, boosting your confidence, and helping you put your best face forward. That’s why we offer transformative and life-changing treatments like BOTOX and other modern-day miracles that are anti-aging treatments. This remarkable treatment option is one of the most popular and well-known in the world of cosmetic health. It’s renowned for its ability to minimize the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
The timeline from the moment you leave our spa to the unveiling of your newfound radiance will vary depending on several factors. The severity of wrinkles before treatment, the injection locations, and the patient’s metabolism speed will all determine how quickly the results will be noticeable. Within the first few days following your treatment, you will notice the initial effects of the injectable taking hold. As the treatment begins to interact with your muscles, you’ll notice your wrinkles diminishing.
The true magnificence of this treatment reveals itself gradually over the following weeks. After about two weeks you’ll witness the full extent of your results. Your skin will continue to smoothen, giving way to a more youthful and vibrant complexion. Our main goal as providers offering this treatment is to give patients a solution that will provide lasting effects that beautifully enhance their natural features.
Though the results may seem like magic, the process is simple in theory and the majority of the work is done by your own body, beneath the skin. BOTOX is derived from the bacteria Clostridium botulinum, which is a purified protein that acts as neuromodulation. Once injected into the targeted area, it enters the nerve endings, blocking the release of specific chemical signals called neurotransmitters. It aims to disrupt the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter responsible for muscle contraction.
By temporarily inhibiting muscle contractions, the injectable treatment effectively diminishes the appearance of dynamic wrinkles caused by repetitive facial expressions. Those bothersome crow’s feet, frown lines, and forehead wrinkles can all be addressed with precision. The injection process is a fine art, requiring the expertise of skilled practitioners who possess an intimate understanding of facial anatomy. Our staff is able to ensure you natural-looking results while preserving your unique expressions and emotions.
Most people who know about this treatment assume it can only help with facial wrinkles. While this is the main focus of the treatment, we’ve seen countless patients who have achieved desirable results receiving the injection in other areas of the body as well. At our practice, we pride ourselves in offering a comprehensive list of all the possible uses for this treatment, such as fixing the problem of hyperhidrosis on the underarms, palms, and feet among other places.
We also treat patients who need relief from chronic migraines and muscle tension, as the treatment relaxes the culprit’s muscles. Those who are interested in slimming or contouring the lower half of their face may find just what they’re looking for in this injectable treatment. By strategically targeting the masseter muscles, the treatment can improve a patient’s facial harmony and redefine their appearance.
Good candidates for these BOTOX injections are generally individuals of any age over 18 who are in good health and seeking to address facial lines and wrinkles caused by repetitive muscle movements. If you have crow’s feet, forehead lines, or frown lines that bother you, the treatment can help diminish the lines’ appearance for more youthful results. This treatment is also a viable option for those struggling with excessive sweating or chronic migraines.
Those who have certain neurological conditions or muscle disorders will not be ideal candidates for this treatment. Women who are currently pregnant or breastfeeding should refrain from treatment until their baby is born and finished with nursing. Those who have allergies to botulinum toxins should avoid this treatment, and those taking blood thinners should consult their doctor before receiving the treatment. It’s important to remember that candidates can seek this treatment out for preventative reasons as well.
JUVÉDERM®, a renowned dermal filler, works harmoniously with this injectable treatment to address volume loss, fine lines, and deep wrinkles. By strategically injecting JUVÉDERM® in areas such as the cheeks, lips, and nasolabial folds, we can restore youthful contours and add plumpness for a more rejuvenated appearance. When used alongside an anti-aging treatment, JUVÉDERM® can provide comprehensive facial rejuvenation, smoothing away wrinkles while restoring lost volume. This can ensure plump and youthful results without loose skin.
Sculptra®, a unique collagen-stimulating treatment, offers long-lasting results that gradually improve over time. When combined with an anti-aging injectable treatment, Sculptra® helps stimulate your body’s natural collagen production, resulting in enhanced facial volume, improved skin texture, and a more youthful complexion. This powerful duo can effectively address signs of aging, such as sunken cheeks or hollowed temples, restoring a natural and revitalized look.
Did you know that you can use BOTOX on your lips too? This innovative treatment option offers a subtle yet stunning enhancement to your lips, creating a beautifully contoured and fuller appearance. During a lip flip, a small amount of botulinum toxin A is strategically injected into the upper lip’s border, targeting specific muscles responsible for lip movement. The toxin relaxes these muscles, allowing the upper lip to gently roll upward, revealing more of the vermilion and creating fuller lips.
What sets this treatment apart from other lip-plumping treatments is the ability to enhance the shape and projection of your lips while maintaining their softness and natural texture. Unlike traditional lip augmentation procedures, which involve the use of fillers, the lip flip focuses on muscle relaxation and repositioning, providing a subtle yet impactful enhancement. The procedure itself is quick, painless, and requires no downtime. Results typically become noticeable within a few days, the full effect appears after about two weeks.
In the weeks leading up to your appointment, it’s essential to communicate openly with our team. Inform us about any medications, supplements, or herbal remedies you are currently taking, as certain substances can increase the risk of bruising or bleeding. We will provide you with specific instructions on which medications to avoid before your treatment. As the days before your appointment approach, it’s important to avoid alcohol and blood-thinning medications to minimize treatment complications or elongated recovery times.
On the day of your appointment, make sure you arrive with a clean face without makeup, lotions, or creams. This will ensure that the treatment area is clean and ready for the injections. It’s also a good idea to wear comfortable clothing and avoid any strenuous activities or exercise that may increase blood flow to the face before and after your appointment. For your consultation with us, we’ll make sure you go home with extensive guidelines to follow.
The most impactful thing you can do for yourself is to carefully follow the instructions we send home with you after your treatment. Avoid touching or massaging the treated areas immediately after the procedure, as this can cause the active ingredient to spread to unintended areas. It’s best to give yourself a day of rest in the 24 hours following your appointment and avoid extraneous activities. Avoid smoking and excessive alcohol consumption, as these habits can diminish your results faster.
Protecting your skin from sun exposure is crucial in maintaining your results. Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen SPF 30 or higher, wear wide-brimmed hats, and use sunglasses daily. Staying hydrated and maintaining a well-balanced diet rich in antioxidants will support optimal skin health. You should also consider making repeat appointments with us a part of your routine, as we can assess the progress of your results and determine the ideal timing for your next treatment to maintain a consistently youthful appearance.
