Take a moment as we explore how Botox can help with neck aging, what you can expect from the treatment, and why choosing an experienced provider is key for the best results.
Botox is a neurotoxin created using a bacteria called Clostridium botulinum. It works by blocking the nerve signals in your muscles, stopping them from contracting.
This temporary paralysis of your muscles relaxes your skin and smooths out wrinkles and fine lines, giving the skin a more youthful appearance.
Botox is safe when you get injections from a specially trained and experienced provider who understands anatomy. However, as with any medical treatment, potential risks and side effects exist.
It’s important to discuss your medical history and any concerns with your provider before treatment. Common side effects include mild bruising or swelling at the injection site, which typically resolves quickly.
