However, BOTOX Cosmetic in Aventura, FL, can be used for a wide variety of aesthetic purposes. Dr. Bertha Baum of Aventura Dermatology regularly educates her patients on the many uses of BOTOX Cosmetic injections. Here are a few of them.

What Can BOTOX Cosmetic Treat?

BOTOX cosmetic is a powerful and popular treatment that can be used to treat a vast range of imperfections. The most common targets of BOTOX Cosmetic include:

  • Wrinkles and fine lines: BOTOX Cosmetic injections are widely used as a nonsurgical treatment for wrinkles and fine lines. These injections work by temporarily paralyzing certain muscles in the face, which helps to smooth out your skin. It can also be administered preventatively to delay the formation of lines and wrinkles.
  • Enlarged jaw muscles: The muscles in your jaw are like the muscles anywhere else in your body. They grow with repeated use and shrink due to inactivity. However, because enlarged jaw muscles can make your lower face look square and bulky, many people wish to reduce their size. BOTOX Cosmetic can help.
  • Small lips: Dermal fillers are a good way to add volume to thin lips. Meanwhile, BOTOX Cosmetic can be used around the border of your lips to relax the muscles. Known as a BOTOX lip flip, this service can make your lips appear bigger by encouraging them to roll outwards slightly, without actually boosting their size.

Therapeutic BOTOX® injections can also be used to reduce excessive perspiration, called hyperhidrosis, particularly in the underarms. These injections block signals from your sweat glands to your muscles, which prevents you from sweating as much. Treating excessive sweating can help you feel more confident and comfortable.

How Long Will BOTOX Cosmetic Last?

BOTOX Cosmetic results can last several months depending on the treatment area and other unique factors. And while BOTOX Cosmetic is an effective and widely used treatment for many aesthetic concerns, it is key to note that this treatment only offers temporary results. Therefore, it may not be suitable for those who want a long-term solution that requires no maintenance. If you are considering BOTOX Cosmetic injections, talk to Dr. Bertha Baum about whether or not this treatment is right for you.

Botox, Neuromodulators

guy applying moisturizing cream on under eye skin Botox® is a popular neuromodulator used in many different areas of medicine. Most patients think of Botox and its similar counterpart, Dysport®, as a way of addressing unwanted fine lines and wrinkles on the face. However, it has been used for decades for other purposes, including the treatment of hyperhidrosis, chronic migraines, and even overactive bladder. But what are the complications of this injectable when used as a cosmetic dermatology solution to aging skin? Below are just a few things Dr. Bertha Baum of Aventura Dermatology wants you to consider when determining if Botox injections are right for you.

Can Botox cause eye bags?

One of the most common concerns regarding Botox and Dysport injections is complications or side effects. It is true that Botox and Dysport can contribute to the development of eye bags. Certain patients who are more susceptible to fluid accumulation may experience these issues. This includes individuals with sinusitis, allergies, or oculi muscle disorder. These can all contribute to the bloating of the skin underneath the eyelids, which can create bags. In addition, certain factors such as sleep deprivation, fatigue, and sleeplessness can also significantly draw more attention to excess fat and fluid underneath the eyes. Knowing the risks and complications of Botox and Dysport injections can help patients be more prepared for these concerns.

What other side effects may occur?

Botox and Dysport can cause patients to experience itching, redness, and bruising at the injection sites, but these often resolve on their own. Patients must talk to Dr. Bertha Baum about what they can expect from treatment–both the good and the bad–to determine if they are proper candidates. Botox has many benefits, including improved appearance, smoother wrinkles and folds, and affordability.
