Better with BOTOX?

looking in the mirror
You're looking in the mirror, and you don't like your reflection. You see lines around your mouth, lines creasing your forehead, and lines around your eyes. They all add up to giving you a much older look than you feel. You heard a friend once rave about getting BOTOX injections, but you scoffed. "BOTOX is not for me," you thought. But now, looking back, she did look good. Not different either, just better. Maybe it's time to rethink BOTOX as a skin treatment for you!

So what is BOTOX? BOTOX is the brand name for an injectable drug made from botulinum toxin type A. This toxin is produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinumAlthough this is the same toxin that causes botulism — a life-threatening form of food poisoning — its effects vary according to the amount and type of exposure. For example, BOTOX is only injected in small, targeted doses.

When injected, BOTOX blocks signals from your nerves to your muscles. This prevents the targeted muscles from contracting, which can ease certain muscular conditions and improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

First, you need to find an aesthetic practice with a doctor experienced in giving BOTOX treatments. It's as simple as doing a Google search. For example, say you live in Akron, Ohio. Just type in "Akron aesthetic practice" and you will find Fairlawn Aesthetic MD. Go to the specialist's website, check out their credentials, ask your friends, call the practice and ask questions. It never hurts to do your research!

After you make your appointment, you will meet with the doctor to discuss what your desires are and what will be needed in order to get that result! Many times these consultations are free, but be sure to ask beforehand if you are searching around for a specialist. 

Also, don't let your age deter you from seeking out a skin treatment! It's not your age that will determine when BOTOX is right for you, it's the severity of your lines and your doctor's opinion. The truth is, everyone's lines form differently. The timing can be influenced by a combination of factors, from cellular changes that may occur over time, to reduction of collagen, to genetic factors, or damage caused by free radicals from the sun and the environment. Whenever your lines start to bother you, go speak with your doctor.

The actual injection process takes a quick 10 minutes. Some patients report that being injected with BOTOX feels like a pinch. Your specialist may use ice to numb the treatment area. Or, if you are concerned about discomfort, your specialist may apply a topical numbing cream before administering your treatment. Treatment requires minimal downtime. So you can return to your daily routine immediately after you leave your specialist’s office.

BOTOX is a temporary procedure and at first, you may find that your treatment results will last approximately 3-4 months. If you maintain your treatment appointments with the frequency recommended by your doctor, the duration of each treatment result may last longer than 4 months.

When you are ready to take that step or want to look at other aesthetic treatments, consider Fairlawn Aesthetic MD. They offer an experienced, friendly team in a relaxing office space. They also have convenient scheduling and the option of financing for your aesthetic treatment.

Cryo T-Shock Benefits

CryoT-Shock has a lot of questions surrounding it. Cryo-T shock is a revolutionary fat loss treatment. We hear clients asking the same few things a lot, "How does it work? Is it safe? How long do the results last? Is it painful?" Dr. Matt McDaniel and the team at Fairlawn Aesthetics performs the fat loss treatment in the Akron Canton area and want to make sure you have all the answers about your Cryo T-Shock fat loss treatment. Cryo T-Shock uses a cooling and heating system to contour your body. Your treatment will begin with a few minutes of heat before switching to a prolonged cooling period, and then finishes with a few more minutes of heat. The cool temperatures cause fat cells to go through something called apoptosis. Apoptosis is caused when fat tissue reaches an internal temperature range between 53 and 62 degrees Fahrenheit. Once the temperature has reached this low, the fat cells begin to die and are then naturally passed out of the body. While res...
