Early signs of aging can begin subtly with small lines around the mouth, eyes, and forehead. Those lines form from the nearby muscles contracting over different phases of life. While many see those small lines around the mouth as many years of laughter and smiles, it’s still a sign of years on your skin. Some people notice that in their 30’s their skin begins to lose its natural glow. Around that time, collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid production starts to slow down, and skin begins to loosen. All three help your skin return to its natural shape after smiling or squinting. Botox in San Diego can be a great way to lessen the appearance of those lines, hide signs of aging, and tighten loose skin. How a Botox Appointment Can Improve the Appearance of Your Skin You may find yourself wondering whether or not scheduling a Botox appointment. Here are four examples of how Botox can help to improve the overall appearance of your skin:

1. Botox Injections Can Prevent Fine Lines and WrinklesBotox treatments is approved for anyone over the age of 18. It’s a great way to prevent wrinkles from forming by stopping the muscles that cause wrinkles from contracting. Generally, in your late 20’s to early 30’s, you will notice some of these fine lines. Overtime, however, they will become more noticeable. When they become regularly noticeable, it’s a good time to begin a Botox regiment. This can help reduce the lines and wrinkles that you have and delay new ones from forming.

2. Botox Treatments Tighten Loose SkinIt’s natural to stop producing collagen in your early 30’s. At this point, you will begin to lose 1-2% collagen each year. The most common areas to notice this are in the frown lines, crow’s feet, and brow lines. Botox can prevent further loss of collagen and smooth loose skin.

3. Botox Improves Sun Damaged SkinAny person that lives in California can attest to the fact that the sun and UV rays can wreak havoc on the skin, but did you know that the sun and UV rays are the number one reason you may see premature wrinkles. UV rays destroy the skin cell’s ability to regenerate and repair itself. Other environmental factors such as air pollution and extreme weather can also damage skin cells. If you've noticed that your skin has been damaged as a result of sun exposure, it's likely that you would be not only a good candidate for Botox but that regular Botox treatments can reverse lines and prevent further sun damage.

4. Botox Treatments Disguise Stress and Sleep DeprivationStress produces cortisol. Cortisol is a hormone that breaks down collagen. Lack of sleep doesn’t allow your skin to rest and regenerate. The combination of stress and no sleep can be horrible on your skin. Stress is just one of those factors of life that is unavoidable. You might be able to minimize your stress but it’s impossible to eliminate it entirely. Botox in San Diego can help to hide the impact that sleep deprivation and stress has added to your appearance.
