Why Botox injections should be administered by qualified Walnut Creek doctors
Botox has become an increasingly popular alternative for patients who are ready to tackle some of the signs of aging and reduce the lines, creases, and folds that develop due to muscle tension. The most common areas in which Botox is injected are the upper third of the face including the forehead, between the eyebrows, and around the eyes. These areas are where many muscles can tighten and cause creases, folds, and wrinkles that may add many years onto the appearance of an individual.
Men and women who have seriously been considering anti-aging solutions in the Walnut Creek area are welcome to have their Botox injections completed by a qualified professional. Dr. Christine Lee is a board certified dermatologist at The Skin and Laser Treatment Institute who has the experience and qualifications to administer Botox safely.
Botox is a medication that is made from a neurotoxin called botulinum toxin type A. This medication can help in preventing the nerves from communicating with the specific muscles. This helps in relaxing the muscles and reducing the lines that can make patients look older. Wrinkles can also be caused by increasing skin laxity due to the natural loss of collagen and elastin. Patients can use Botox along with dermal fillers for a “liquid face lift.”
It is important that patients consider a qualified Walnut Creek doctor for the administration of Botox. Botox is a medication and it should be handled as such. Dr. Christine Lee has the experience and expertise to inject patients properly with a steady hand. She also has been trained to understand the appropriate areas to inject for the best results.
Botox is a serious medication that has been used over the years for medical purposes. It can be used to address hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating), cervical dystonia, chronic migraines, urinary incontinence, and uncontrollable muscle spasms. Patients with blepharospasm and multiple sclerosis may also benefit from injections.
