Botox

Lines and wrinkles can make you look tired and fatigued; they’re even known to give away your age. But with Botox® treatments offered at Thirst Hydration in Indianapolis, Indiana, Tanya Arnold, APRN, FNP-C, and the team can help smooth out your skin, minimize stubborn lines, and turn back the hands of time. If you’ve considered Botox in the past, or if you’re due for retreatment, call Thirst Hydration or request an appointment online today. 

What does Botox do? 

A type of neuromodulator, Botox targets and blocks cell signals that make your muscles tighten up and contract. When you’re younger, twitching muscles aren’t a major concern because underlying fat and the layer of fibrous collagen tissue help your skin bounce right back into place.

With aging, though, you lose that cushioning layer of fat, and collagen production dramatically slows down — starting as early as age 30. Because of these issues, when your muscles contract, your skin creases and folds. Those lines wind up staying in place over time.

Botox simply minimizes muscle activity to help your skin remain smooth. The beauty of Botox is that it only works in targeted muscles. Because of this, all surrounding muscles function normally, meaning you won’t have to worry about a stiff or frozen appearance. 

Which wrinkles can Botox treat?

At Thirst Hydration, your Botox service is tailored to target the most common forms of lines and wrinkles that occur on the upper portion of your face. Botox is FDA-approved to minimize the appearance of:

• Crow’s feet
• Forehead wrinkles
• Frown lines (between your eyebrows)

Your dedicated aesthetic provider can treat other imperfections, too. It’s even possible to combine your Botox treatment with clinical-grade dermal filler injections to restore age-related volume loss and plump your skin. 

How long do Botox injections last?

Months at a time. Depending on the treatment area and the depth of your wrinkles, you can expect to have optimal results with your Botox injection service from Thirst Hydration for at least 3-4 months. 

It’s perfectly safe to continue getting retreatments with Botox. When it comes time for additional injections — Botox sessions take about 10-15 minutes — simply book another session at Thirst Hydration.

What happens during a Botox consultation?

During your Botox consultation at Thirst Hydration, your dedicated aesthetic provider talks with you about your concerns. They need to know about any medical conditions or allergies you may have, so they can determine if Botox is right for you. In many cases, you can get started on Botox the same day as your consultation.

If you’d like to smooth out stubborn wrinkles and crow’s feet, book a Botox consultation at Thirst Hydration. Call the office or request an appointment online today.
