Botox Questions Answered | Denver, CO | Jeunesse Aesthetics

Jun 17, 2022

Botox is known worldwide as the beauty secret for many of our favorite celebrities. But what is Botox® and how can it help you achieve a rejuvenated appearance? We dive deep to answer your most common questions like whether the treatment hurts, how long it lasts, the ideal age to get Botox®, and what steps you should take post-treatment. Read on to have your questions answered.

 

How does Botox® work?


Botox® works by reducing the activity of wrinkle-causing muscles in the face. Botox® stops the muscle's nerve signals which means dynamic wrinkles created by muscle activity, fade or disappear completely even when your face is relaxed.


Do Botox® injections hurt?


One of the most typical questions about Botox® is whether the injections are painful. While pain is subjective, Botox® injections use a very thin needle, which has been described as only mildly annoying or minimally painful. Furthermore, the process is quick and if truly needed, you may request the nurse to place a topical numbing agent to reduce the feeling of pain or discomfort.


Some clients can become quite resistant to the feeling of the needle to the point where they forego the need for a topical numbing agent. This makes the appointment move along faster as the numbing agent can take twenty minutes to work its magic. 


How long does Botox® last?


Botox® injections last an average of three to six months. As we cannot stop the aging process, there will be follow-up sessions needed. The time interval between treatments is often longer after having injections a second and third time. 


What can I expect after my appointment?


Botox® aftercare is straightforward. It is important not to massage or rub your face 24 hours after the injection. You will also want to avoid lying down for a minimum of 4 hours afterward to prevent product diffusion. Furthermore, avoid any strenuous physical activity that will make you sweat for at least 24 hours. 


What's the ideal age to start using Botox
®?


While it is perfectly legal to use Botox® starting at the age of 18, you will not need it at such a young age and youthful stage of your life. Botox® is recommended, at minimum, for those in their late 20s who want to prevent wrinkles and reduce fine lines. 


While in your 30s, Botox® is used to prevent your existing wrinkles from becoming more pronounced. As you hit your 40s and make your way into your 50s, Botox® injections can be used to offset any profound, apparent wrinkles and crow's feet. In your 60s, Botox® injections can help you regain a fresher appearance. 


There is no ideal age to start using Botox®. It all depends on your goals and what kind of appearance you wish to achieve with the treatment.

Some men may have been taught to believe that skincare isn’t important, but this is very far from the truth. Taking care of your skin will make it look younger, healthier, and more vibrant. This will improve your appearance and your self-esteem and even make you look and feel younger. While it was once common to believe that men didn’t need to take care of their skin, the opposite is true. Focusing on skincare and using the right routine will help you look and feel your best. The good news is that more and more men are appreciating the benefits of a good skincare routine and more products geared towards men are more available than ever before. Here are some important skincare tips for men. Use Quality Skincare Products Not all skincare products are created equal. Read labels on cleansers and moisturizers to see what they contain before you use them. This is also important since different skin types require different products. Your skincare routine shouldn’t be identical to someone else’s, and you shouldn’t necessarily be using the same products either. Choosing quality products that are meant for your skin type will provide the most benefits for you. If you have acne-prone skin, for instance, you may want to find products that are oil-free when you’re looking for men’s skincare routine products. These are less likely to clog your pores. If you have sensitive skin, search for mild products that are fragrance-free. Wear Sunscreen Sunscreen is important for many occasions, not just when you go to the beach. Whenever you’re outdoors, you should wear sunscreen. That’s because sun damage can lead to age spots, wrinkles, and other skin issues. There’s even the possibility of skin cancer. Even on colder days, the sun can still cause damage, so it’s a mistake to only wear sunscreen during the summer. For most people, sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher is recommended. Look for a broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen. If you swim, sweat, or do another activity that could cause the sunscreen to come off, be sure to reapply. Be Consistent Using a consistent routine helps your skin look its best. Wash your face daily, when you wake up, and before you go to sleep. Use a gentle cleanser that’s meant for your skin type. It’s also important to moisturize daily. This will leave your skin looking younger and more refreshed and it may also reduce the appearance of fine lines. It’s easier and much more beneficial to have a daily routine. Once you get into the swing of a daily skincare routine, you’ll start seeing the results and this will likely motivate you to keep going. Incorporate Facial Treatments to Maintain and Improve the Health and Appearance of Your Skin Many facial treatments can help maintain or improve the health and appearance of your skin. For instance, a common facial treatment for men is dermal fillers. As you age, your skin changes and most people lose some of the fat in their faces that support their skin. The result is that the skin may shift down or sag over time. Dermal fillers add volume. They also help smooth out wrinkles, which helps you look younger and more refreshed.
