Naomie Olindo Shows Off Botox

Once believed to be an anti-aging treatment for older women, Botox has now become commonplace among a wide-range of patients, including 20-somethings and men.

In fact, Southern Charm star Naomie Olindo recently revealed that she had Botox injections, at the age of 25, and is thrilled with her natural-looking results.

This isn’t the first time the reality beauty shared her use of cosmetic treatments with her social media followers. Prior to having Botox, she also underwent a rhinoplasty, after being unhappy with the appearance of her nose for years.

So, what is Botox and is it right for you?

Here’s everything you need to know about Botox’s uses, function, procedure, and results.

What Is Botox?

Botox is a neurotoxin derived from the Clostridium botulinum bacterium and has numerous medical indications.

However, it’s best known as a cosmetic injectable that can smooth wrinkles and help women and men look younger and more refreshed.

How Does Botox Work?

Botox can be injected into muscles and glands in order to deactivate them and limit certain functions. In the case of wrinkles, Botox blocks the release of acetylcholine in order to inhibit muscle contraction.

This not only smooths existing forehead lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines, it also helps prevent the formation of new wrinkles.

Accordingly, many patients in their early to mid 20’s like Naomi are seeking Botox to improve their appearance and stave off wrinkles in the future.

What Happens During a Botox Procedure?

In the hands of a highly-skilled and experienced injector, Botox is a very comfortable and efficient procedure. To start, areas of concern are identified, marked, and photographed.

Then ice and/or a topical anesthetic is used to numb the skin. Finally, precise amounts of Botox are administered as a series of carefully placed injections.

Once the treatment is complete, patients are free to resume all normal activities and go about their day as usual. However, they should avoid rubbing the area for 12 hours, lying down for two-to-four hours, and intense exercise for 24 hours.

How Soon Can You See Results from Botox?

Within 24-72 hours, Botox begins to take effect, and treated wrinkles and lines gradually relax and diminish.

Full effects are evident after five-to-seven days and reveal a well-rested and youthful appearance.

In fact, when done right, Botox produces extremely natural results. To the extent that no one will know that you’ve had the treatment, unless you decide to share the information, like Naomie did.
