Reduce Wrinkles and Facial Creases

At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine in Dunn, NC, we provide Botox treatments to help reduce wrinkles, fine lines, and facial creases. Ideal for those looking to refresh their appearance, Botox effectively smooths areas such as the forehead, crow's feet, and frown lines, giving you a more youthful and revitalized look.

Botox is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment derived from botulinum toxin. It works by temporarily relaxing specific facial muscles, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Commonly used on the forehead, around the eyes, and between the eyebrows, Botox blocks nerve signals that cause muscle contractions. As a result, skin appears smoother and more youthful. This quick and minimally invasive procedure requires no downtime, and the effects typically last for three to four months.

Common Botox treatment areas include:

  • Forehead wrinkles
  • Crow's feet (around the eyes)
  • Frown lines (between the eyebrows)
  • Bunny lines (on the nose)
  • Chin dimples
  • Neck bands

How Botox works

Botox works by blocking the release of acetylcholine, the neurotransmitter that triggers muscle contractions. When injected into the target muscles, Botox prevents the transmission of nerve signals, leading to temporary muscle relaxation. This reduces the muscle activity that causes wrinkles and fine lines. Results typically start appearing within a few days, with maximum effect seen in about two weeks. The muscle relaxation lasts for three to four months, after which muscle activity gradually resumes.

Benefits of Botox:

  • Minimally invasive treatment
  • Sessions typically last under 30 minutes

  • Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
  • Results start to show within days
  • Effects last three to four months

What to expect from your Botox treatment

Procedure

At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine, your Botox treatment begins with an assessment of your facial muscles and a discussion of your goals. The treatment area is cleaned, and a topical anesthetic may be applied to reduce discomfort. A fine needle is used to inject Botox directly into the specific muscles being targeted.  The procedure usually takes about 10-20 minutes, and while you may feel a slight pinch with each injection, most patients tolerate it well. You can resume most activities immediately after treatment, with visible results in a few days.

Post-treatment care

After your Botox session at Genesis Lifestyle Medicine, you can return to normal activities right away. Minor side effects like redness, swelling, or bruising may occur at the injection sites but typically fade within hours or days. Mild headaches or temporary muscle weakness may also happen. Avoid rubbing the treated areas and refrain from intense physical activity for 24 hours.

Results

Within a few days of treatment, you’ll start noticing smoother skin and fewer wrinkles, with full results appearing within two weeks. The effects generally last for three to four months, depending on factors like muscle activity and individual metabolism. Regular follow-up treatments are recommended to maintain your desired look. Consistent Botox use may also help prevent new wrinkles from forming.
