Effortless. Breathtaking. When you look in the mirror, you want to see the best version of yourself looking back. At Archway Aesthetics, we see that version of you, and we’re here to uncover your inherent beauty with Botox in Summerlin South.
You’ve heard of Botox—it’s an injectable neurotoxin that reduces wrinkles. By quieting specific muscle movements, you can smile, wink, and laugh without holding back, free of creases in your skin or the dampened confidence that often follows.
Botox helps prevent static lines, the wrinkles that stay visible even when your face is at rest, which can make you look stressed or older. By relaxing the muscles that cause these lines, Botox keeps your skin smoother and your appearance naturally youthful.
But we know the misconceptions surrounding Botox. As such a well-known wrinkle treatment, it’s easy for fact and fiction to trade places, which can hold you back from pursuing it. We’re here to provide clarity, education, and guidance by sharing the truth about Botox.
Common Botox Misconceptions
Containing a purified, diluted botulinum toxin, Botox helps turn back the clock on your skin.
But what about the things it doesn’t do? Let’s clear up some of the most common misunderstandings about Botox.
“Botox will make me look fake, overdone, or frozen.”
Despite what you may have heard—this is untrue. At Archway Aesthetics, we honor and respect your natural beauty, and that means tasteful, subtle touches of Botox in key areas. You’ll still be the distinct, expressive person you’ve always been, just with a smoother, natural-looking youthfulness about you.
“Botox will make your wrinkles look worse if you stop getting it.”
Not at all. In fact, Botox in Summerlin South is more like pressing pause on time. Take, for example, a paper note passed to you. You pinch it, fold it, and slide it into your pocket for the day. Once you later open it, the crease remains. You could fold it up again and repeat the process, deepening the crease—or, you could gently smooth it out on the table and leave it open.
Your skin is like that paper note. Your expressions, from raising your brows to squinting, cause your skin to wrinkle and fold, gradually leaving their mark. We call these marks dynamic wrinkles. Botox limits specific muscle movements, which keeps the skin from creasing.
Botox, however, is a temporary solution, lasting an average of 3 months. During that time, your skin rests and smooths over. Should you choose to stop receiving Botox, your natural expressions will return, and the lines and wrinkles will gradually return as well. But they won’t suddenly be worse than before, and the natural aging process will resume.
“Botox erases all wrinkles.”
Not all wrinkles, but some. Botox works well as a temporary solution for wrinkles in various areas, including:
- Crow’s feet, the small wrinkles at the corners of the eyes.
- The Glabella, or “11’s,” are the vertical lines between the eyebrows caused by repeated facial expressions.
- Forehead wrinkles, the horizontal lines that become most apparent when you raise your brows.
Furthermore, the lighter these wrinkles and lines are, the more effective Botox will be. That’s why we may encourage Guests to consider preventive Botox in Summerlin South. Once you notice your makeup beginning to crease or lines lingering after your face is at rest, Botox can reduce the appearance of wrinkles and keep them from getting worse.
On the other hand, corrective Botox is more effective for Guests with existing lines and wrinkles.
If you’re experiencing any of the above wrinkles, as well as smile lines, marionette lines, or other types of wrinkles around the mouth, we may recommend fillers. Fillers, which are a different type of injectable that restore volume and fill facial hollows, can reduce the appearance of these wrinkles without limiting the movement of your mouth and lips.
