BOTOX for Golden Valley Residents
By Kelley Pankake | Published on August 1, 2011 | 0 Comments
If you have a major function coming up such as a reunion, wedding or big presentation, looking and feeling good is of the utmost importance. If your concern is fine lines and wrinkles, BOTOX is one way to achieve immediate results in a very short amount of time, around two weeks on average. In Golden Valley, BOTOX has become quite popular because of the ease in which a patient can receive treatment, and the results are not permanent like a plastic surgery procedure.
A med spa in Golden Valley, such as Carillon Clinic, regularly sees patients wanting a facial refresher for themselves. BOTOX works by relaxing the muscles commonly used in the face that result in lines and wrinkles. Kelley Pankake, a Paramedical Esthetician with Carillon, says BOTOX is an ideal treatment especially for the upper third of the face around the eyes and forehead. She also points out that it has been around for some time and has become well-known for facial rejuvenation in recent years.
BOTOX can also be effective alongside other treatments like dermal fillers. Fillers are designed more for the lower two thirds of the face around the mouth, nose and cheeks. Fillers work by plumping an area with an injectable solution such as hyaluronic acid or another ingredient that will fill in wrinkles and deep lines for a more youthful appearance. Fillers also tend to have longer lasting results, up to one year with some products.
Pankake wants to clear up any myths that patients may have about BOTOX and its intended results. She hears fear from some patients that they don’t want to look frozen or fake. She explains that a skilled nurse can control the amount of BOTOX administered to a patient and this is ultimately what determines the final outcome. If someone wants a more subtle improvement, that can easily be achieved at Carillon Clinic because of the highly trained staff and years of experience they have with BOTOX patients in Golden Valley.
The typical patient can expect to be wrinkle free for up to four months, after which they may return for a touch up. This is also a great way for patients to “experiment” with BOTOX knowing the results will fade in a few months.
