Botox

Botox works by using Botulinum toxin type A to block communication between the nerve and muscle. This temporarily smooths out fine lines and wrinkles by relaxing facial muscles. For example, when Botox is injected into the forehead, it “freezes” the forehead muscles and stops them from contracting, which reduces the appearance of wrinkles and prevents the formation of additional folds. 

Botox utilizes a small amount of Botulinum toxin type A, a type of neurotoxin produced by an organism known as the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. Botox is one of many neuromodulators that use botulinum toxin A. 

Botox is a very safe cosmetic treatment, especially when administered by an experienced, licensed physician, such as the providers at Cumberland Skin in Hermitage, Tennessee.

Individuals metabolize Botox at different speeds, which means there can be a slight discrepancy in how long results last for various people. However, Botox results generally tend to last between three and four months. 

There are several benefits to receiving Botox, the primary one being that it helps our patients love their skin again so they can feel more confident in their everyday life. Botox is an effective anti-aging treatment that turns back the clock by diminishing the appearance of deep wrinkles and fine lines. This lends a hand in helping patients look and feel more youthful. 

Furthermore, there are additional benefits to the Botox procedure as well. Not only is this treatment quick and easy, with most Botox procedures taking less than an hour to complete, it requires minimal downtime, and you can return to your regular daily activities shortly afterwards.

The price of Botox varies widely from clinic to clinic, often depending on several factors, such as the amount of Botox units needed to achieve the patient’s aesthetic goals, provider experience, and clinic location.
