What Makes Botox Effective Against Wrinkles? 

Botox is a neuromodulator derived from botulinum toxin type A. It works by temporarily relaxing the muscles responsible for expression lines. These dynamic wrinkles, like forehead lines, frown lines, and crow’s feet, form when facial muscles repeatedly contract. By blocking nerve signals to specific muscles, Botox reduces their movement and gives the overlying skin time to smooth out. At Rejuvenation Dermatology in Calgary, we use precise injection techniques to deliver subtle, natural-looking results while preserving your ability to express emotions.

The Botox Procedure: What Happens Under the Skin

  • Targeted muscle relaxation: Botox is injected into facial muscles that cause visible wrinkles. It doesn’t treat the skin directly; it targets muscle activity beneath the surface.
  • Timing of results: Effects begin to appear in 3–5 days, with full smoothing results visible by day 10–14.
  • Temporary but long-lasting: Results typically last 3–6 months, depending on your facial muscles, metabolism, and treatment areas. Regular sessions can help prevent deeper lines from forming.

Botox as a Preventative Anti-Aging Tool 

Botox doesn’t just treat existing lines; it can also help prevent new ones. By reducing repetitive facial movements in areas prone to creasing, Botox minimizes long-term stress on the skin. Many people in their late 20s and 30s choose Botox proactively to delay the development of deeper wrinkles.

Preparing for Treatment and Managing Side Effects 

Before your Botox appointment, avoid alcohol, ibuprofen, and fish oil for 48 hours to minimize bruising. The treatment itself involves minimal discomfort and no required downtime. Side effects like mild swelling or bruising at injection sites are common and short-lived. More serious reactions are rare and typically resolve on their own. Choosing an experienced Botox provider in Calgary, like the team at Rejuvenation Dermatology, helps ensure a safe and smooth experience.
