Combining Botox with Other Cosmetic Procedures for Enhanced Results

Having flawless and glowing skin is a way to have healthy skin and brings confidence. Today, there are so many options that can help you achieve this. Firstly, we have got Botox, which so many celebrities and models have used worldwide to maintain a youthful look on their faces.

However, have you thought, what if we combine Botox with other cosmetic procedures? What will the results look like? For instance, what if we can reap the benefits of procedures like microneedling and botox at the same time?

This can be a total game changer for people trying to maintain a facial treatment regimen. So, in this article, we will first look at what Botox does.

Secondly, we will tell you what happens when you combine Botox with other procedures. And last but not least, we will see if you are an ideal candidate for Botox.

What does Botox do?

Since we have already started our discussion, let us first introduce you to Botox. First of all, Botox is a medical treatment for other conditions as well. However, our focus will be on Botox as a cosmetic procedure.

What happens is that doctors inject Botulinum Toxin into the facial muscles. This reduces aging concerns like wrinkles and fine lines.

So the way it works is that it prevents the muscles from any kind of movement. Now since the muscles are unable to contract due to the toxin, the muscles remain in a relaxed position, Hence, the appearance of fine lines gets reduced.

Now, let us see what are the benefits of the Botox procedure.

The primary benefit of Botox is to reduce aging concerns. Wrinkles, fine lines, frown lines, and laughing lines can appear and deepen as we age.

To many people, this can bring a feeling of their lost youth and beauty. To help prevent it, botox is used. The appearance of these signs becomes diminished and almost unnoticeable.

Well, who doesn’t like to get rapid results, especially if that concerns youthful-looking skin? Botox does exactly that. The results you get are not only top-notch but also incredibly fast. Some people have said that they have noticed results only after one session itself.

With Botox, you would not need to undergo any kind of surgery and time-consuming procedures. You would not even require any diagnostic test. Only a simple injection of the toxin, and you are all set to go and flaunt that flawless skin.

This is again another major benefit of having Botox treatment. Many of us would like to keep our options open and may want to dissolve the toxin. As studied, Botox can wear off after 3 to 6 months. This is especially true for people who are into exercise.

Therefore, you will be good for a few months and then can make up your mind to go for another Botox if you feel like it.

What happens when we combine Botox with other cosmetic procedures?

By now you know the benefits of Botox. Now, the question is what happens when we combine Botox with other facial treatments? Let us study them one by one.

• Botox and Chemical Peels

Chemical peels are another set of quick procedures. They bring an instant glow to your face. The way it works is by exfoliating your skin. Substances like AHAs and BHAs are used in the peels. As a result, you get fresh baby cells that make you look refreshed and glowing.

Now, imagine this with Botox treatment. So one hand you will get beautiful and radiating skin and on the other hand, your fine lines and wrinkles will have vanished. This will make you feel like you have returned to your 20s.

• Botox and Fractional Laser Resurfacing

Both these processes when combined, will give your skin a flawless youthful look. Both of them target to reduce aging signs. The way Fractional Laser Resurfacing works is by targeting laser rays into your skin and creating microscopic punctures.

It is the same as microneedling but through laser. So the skin will again be pushed to heal and as a result, produce more collagen. More the collagen, more the results. When we try this with Botox, you will find a sure-shot way to make your fine lines and wrinkles vanish into thin air.

Last but not least, derma fillers are the perfect complement to have them together with Botox. Derma fillers work by plumping your skin up. Both reduce aging concerns. The only difference is that Botox is used for expression signs like frown lines, laughing lines, etc.

Whereas derma fillers, target lines that are at rest. So if you combine these two, you will get a cosmetic treatment that will work for your whole face.

Ideal candidate for Botox

Now you may ask who is an ideal candidate for Botox? Are you eligible to undergo this transformative cosmetic procedure? Here are some factors that make you a suitable candidate for Botox

It is only in your 20s that you start losing collagen. Before that, your skin is already in perfect condition. Hence, it makes sense to do Botox only after a certain age.

Moreover, Botox is recommended for more mature skin, probably from your 30s or 40s. However, it doesn’t harm to undergo Botox in your 20s.

• Have good Physical Health

Being in good physical health and without any chronic conditions is a must for undergoing Botox. Since botox uses neurotoxin, it can interfere with other conditions if you are suffering from any. So make sure you talk to your doctor once before opting for Botox treatment.

It is a strict no from our side if you are pregnant. You would not want to risk your baby’s life and hence should not use Botox during pregnancy. This has again to do with Botox’s use of neurotoxin.

Conclusion

That was our guide to combining Botox with other treatments. The best way for you would be to consult with your doctor. That way, you would find out what works best for you. We are sure you are going to achieve flawless skin pretty soon.
