Charleston Botox

Most people in Charleston have a passing idea about Botox and Botox injections. Botox is the most popular non-invasive cosmetic surgery procedures on the market today. But if you live in Charleston, is Botox right for you? The answer may be easier if you understand better exactly what a Botox procedure entails.

Botox injections block nerve impulses, temporarily paralyzing the muscles that
cause wrinkles. This cosmetic procedure will give your skin a smoother appearance and take years off of your face.

So far so good, but what are the drawbacks to Botox?

The biggest drawback is the results are only temporary. The Botox effect will only last a maximum of six months and you will gradually see the wrinkles starting to return after a few months. Next, people who have had Botox will often look as if their faces are “frozen”. This usually occurs when the doctor, often at the insistence of the patient, is too aggressive. If too many muscles in the face and neck are temporarily paralyzed then it will affect your smile and the general expressiveness of your face.

The warm climate of Charleston and the sun can also impact the how well your skin reacts to the Botox injections.

Botox is considered safe and has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration since 2002. When administered by a competent Charleston professional in a medical
setting the results can be personally rewarding. For this reason Botox injections are the fastest-growing cosmetic procedure in the country, according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS).

Each year millions of people, including many in Charleston and the Low Country, have Botox treatments. The people of Charleston are fortunate to have a teaching hospital locally -- the Medical University of South Carolina – which means Charleston’s medical professionals who do Botox procedures are always on the cutting edge and current with any advances.
