Botox Breakthrough Increases Skin Elasticity
In a recent article on Today.com, a breakthrough study reveals Botox may do more than just freeze muscles beneath the skin. The injections seem to be making the skin more elastic for as long as Botox stays in the body.
While it’s not clear what the cause is, other cosmetic treatments such as Restylane, Juvederm and radiofrequency skin tightening have also demonstrated the stimulation of skin cells called fibroblasts, which respond by making more collagen and elastin. Another theory is that freezing the muscle stops it from producing toxic waste products. It could be that Botox is an anti-aging and anti-oxidant.
According to the Journal of the American Medical Association’s Facial and Plastic Surgery publication, “The changes occurring in patients’ skin appear to be the opposite of those associated with the aging process and UV radiation exposure and inflammation.” People who get repeated shots of Botox seem to have permanent effects after a while. While it is clear the muscle is weakened, it might be the muscle changes over time. But it’s also feasible the Botox is also changing the skin.
Botox Breakthrough Increases Skin Elasticity
In the study, a device called a Cutometer was used to measure skin elasticity before and after the Botox injections. Measurements showed skin became more elastic, but this positive side effect diminished after 4 months.
Over time, the skin produces less collagen and elastin. Skin elasticity falls from an average of 70 percent at 20 to 50 percent at age 70. As a result, the primary objective dermatologists share is to make the skin produce more collagen and elastin. The best way to achieve this is internally. Dermatologists stimulate collagen and elastin growth with injectables, fillers, and radio frequency skin tightening treatments.
Botox has medical uses for migraines, bladder control, profuse sweating, and it can also help scars heal better because it improves the skin’s elasticity. Botox is safe, effective, and the most popular anti-aging cosmetic treatment. What’s stopping you from getting your first Botox treatment?
