We all know the start of a new year is a time for fresh beginnings. Whether that’s setting more achievable goals, refocusing on healthier habits, or just taking more time for self-care, there are countless opportunities to improve daily. 

This year, why not make one of your resolutions to find ways to upgrade your look and show off the beautiful you? And while many people often think they need an extensive facelift to change their appearance, Botox can provide subtle yet stunning results without any surgery! In this post, we will cover why Botox could be the perfect pick-me-up you need this New Year season. 

Why Consider Botox?

Experiencing Botox for the first time is an empowering choice that can help you feel more confident in your daily life. Botox allows you to make subtle changes to your appearance and reduce signs of aging, so that you can return to feeling youthful and vibrant. Not only is Botox a safe procedure with minimal side effects, but it can also be a great way to take charge of how you want to look and feel.

Due to its accessibility and convenience, Botox has remained a popular option among those who want to age gracefully while maintaining their unique sense of style. 

The most common areas for treatment include:

  • Frown lines in the glabella (the area at the top of the nose between the eyebrows)
  • Around the eyes (“crows feet”)
  • Perioral (around the mouth)
  • Forehead

What Does The Botox Procedure Entail? 

This simple procedure involves carefully injecting botulinum toxin into certain muscle groups in your face, causing the muscles to relax, therefore reducing the visibility of age-related wrinkles and providing a smooth, wrinkle-free complexion. 

Botox injections are quick, minimally invasive, and offer magnificent results that can last for up to six months or longer depending on the area being treated.

It can also be used in combination with other treatments to enhance your overall appearance. For example, we have found that deep furrows in the forehead and glabella region may respond best to treatment with a combination of Botox injections followed about 1 week later with a dermal filler. This temporary muscle paralysis enhances the result of the filler and achieves a longer-lasting result.

Experience Matters

Taking care of yourself should never need to be a compromise. However, with Botox procedures, it’s essential to understand the importance of making sure you are in the hands of an experienced professional. 

At Lawrence Plastic Surgery, we’ve been providing this service since 2001 and our highly skilled team is here to help you feel your best. 

If you are having injections for the first time we may ask you to return in a week or two to see if we have achieved the desired effects. This will help us adjust and fine-tune your future treatments. We want you to have a natural appearance and will avoid overtreatment that may give you a flat appearance to your expressions.

That’s a Wrap

All in all, there is a lot to love about Botox. From the convenience of treatments that last for months to the ease of minimal maintenance and fast results, it’s no wonder why Botox is one of the top-requested cosmetics treatments.

It’s a safe, reliable way to enhance your look without any surgery or lots of time commitment required — what more could you ask for? 

So if this new year has you feeling inspired to give yourself a little makeover and treat yourself right, botox might be just what the doctor ordered. Don’t wait — make an appointment today and get ready to be amazed by how much of a difference it can make!
