Is Botox for All Types of Wrinkles, or Does It Only Work on Certain Ones?

Everyone knows Botox is a champion when it comes to fighting signs of aging. What you may not know is there is more than one kind of wrinkle.

So, that leads to the question, “Is Botox for all types of wrinkles?” Let’s find out!

A Quick Lesson on How Botox Works

Botox contains a neurotoxin that, when injected by a skilled injector, stops the targeted facial muscles from contracting. Skin relaxes when muscles stop contracting, and the result is diminished wrinkles and fine lines.

You Mentioned There Was More Than One Type of Wrinkle–What Are They?

There are two types of wrinkles that should be treated differently when it comes to Botox. Smiling and squinting that require consistent muscle movement cause dynamic wrinkles.

A loss of collagen and elastin causes what are known as static wrinkles.

You’ll Get Stellar Botox Results With Dynamic Wrinkles

Botox works with muscles to give you smoother skin and a more youthful appearance. It only makes sense that dynamic wrinkles respond exceptionally well to Botox injections.

Botox for All Types of Wrinkles? Maybe Not

Botox for static wrinkles is used by some providers, but you’ll see much better results with a dermal filler. Fillers boost collagen production and add volume where it’s lacking.

Talk to your provider about a combination of Botox and fillers to get the best results.

How Will I Know if Botox Will Work for Me?

To find out if you’re a good candidate for Botox, you should schedule a consultation with your injector. Share your aesthetic goals and work with your injector to create a personalized plan to reach them.
