A board-certified dermatologist breaks down everything you need to do in-between your botox appointments to keep your skin looking its best.
If you are open to more invasive treatments, dermatologists can inject neuromodulators, like botulinum toxin, also known as Botox, to relax particular facial muscles. This helps to soften existing wrinkles and stop the development of deeper, etched lines on the forehead, between the brows, and around the eyes, which can result in crows feet.
We also use it to sculpt the jawline and lift the neck — by injecting the thick muscular neck/platysma bands — as well as to reduce the appearance of a widened jawline and prominent masseter/chewing muscles. This is by far the most popular cosmetic procedure I perform in my office. Treatments, such as botulinum toxin, fillers, and lasers help round out a balanced routine for aging skin and need to be maintained a few times a year. And they are best used when coupled with a great skincare routine.
Here's everything I suggest you do in-between your Botox appointments to keep your skin looking its best. every day, even when indoors. UV light is the ultimate ager, and longer UVA rays can travel through windows. So unless you have zero windows in your home, you are still susceptible to UV damage. It's also important to re-apply. During the day, you can use a mineral powder SPF over your makeup to make things easier.
In addition to UV light, blue light is also a real concern as we are staring at our computer and phone screens much more as we work from home. I recommend tinted sunscreens with iron oxide, as well as antioxidants in the morning to help protect the skin from these HEV blue light rays that we know can contribute to hyperpigmentation of the skin and may also cause collagen breakdown and contribute to wrinkles, although the evidence is less clear.
