3 Things You May Not Know About Botox

We all want to look and feel our best! In today’s day and age, that often means striving to maintain a youthful look. A popular solution is Botox. Botox has become one of the most well-known, safe, and cost-effective cosmetic procedures used to turn back the clock an achieve a desired youthful look since the 1980’s. There’s tons of information out there, and due to the its popularity, most of us know the basics behind Botox. Here are three facts you may not know about the cosmetic treatment:

1. Botox can help cure acne.

Though Botox has been FDA approved for wrinkle reduction, botulinum toxin can cause a chain reaction when injected into large-pored areas. With large pore areas, like the forehead, when injected Botox can reduce oil production, ultimately resulting in fewer breakouts!

2. Hot yoga may cause Botox to wear off more quickly.

Hot yoga has become a very popular form of exercise. Botox patients who practice hot yoga, or those patients who live active lifestyles, need a Botox touch-up earlier than those patients who are less active. Heavy sweat sessions can prompt the body to metabolize more readily. We’re not encouraging you to give up your active lifestyle, but partaking in less sweat-heavy workouts can increase the duration between Botox refreshes.

3. Botox is a great preventative.

Botox is not just for those facing wrinkles, but also for those looking to prevent wrinkles and aging! Aging is not defined by a number, but my genetics, lifestyle and health habits. Before wrinkles get deep, Botox can be injected into crease-prone parts of the face. By playing offense against aging, you can prevent wrinkles from forming.
