The Benefits of Botox, Daxxify and Xeomin

If you are noticing the early signs of aging, like fine lines and wrinkles, you may be wondering what to do about it. One great option for reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles is botulinum toxin treatments like Botox, Daxxify and Xeomin. Dr. Cary Ann Jenkins at Morris Dermatology and Joliet Dermatology in Morris and Joliet, IL offers comprehensive medical and cosmetic dermatology services, including Botox injections, to help you look your best.

What You Need To Know About Botox

Botox is an injectable material derived from the Botulinum bacteria. It works by temporarily “freezing” the muscles and nerves around the injection site.

Let’s look at just a few of the benefits of Botox:

• It’s effective because you will notice results almost immediately
• It’s quick because Botox treatment requires only a few minutes
• It’s safe because Botox has been rigorously tested and approved by the FDA

Botox is an excellent solution to minimize the appearance of:

• Crow’s feet, which are the fine lines radiating outward from the corners of your eyes
• Forehead furrows, which are the deeper lines running across your forehead
• Glabellar lines or "elevens", which are the deep creases appearing between your eyebrows
• Lip lines, which are the vertical lines around your lips
• Platsymal bands, which are thick, ropey neck bands
• Jawline laxity, which is sagging at the lower face

The number of injections you will need will depend on the area or areas being treated. Your dermatologist may also recommend periodic treatments to help maintain your excellent results.
