It's about feeling more comfortable with yourself
Is summer a good time to get BOTOX®? Our Toronto practice knows that many people are curious about which cosmetic treatments are safe for them to have during the warmer months. Many individuals are interested in aesthetic treatments to help them look their best and feel confident as they enjoy the rest of summer. One of the most common misconceptions about this treatment is that BOTOX® and sunshine don’t mix. This is far from the case. The good news is that BOTOX® is an easy treatment to get during summer. Patients can have BOTOX® at any time throughout the year to address many types of cosmetic concerns such as dynamic wrinkles on the upper face. This is a popular way to counteract wrinkles without the need for more invasive cosmetic surgery. See below for some of the top reasons why this season is ideal for BOTOX® injections.
One of the biggest advantages of BOTOX® is that there’s no need for any downtime or recovery time after, so you’ll be able to resume your typical summer activities right after. There is no surgery or anesthesia involved. You won’t need to take any time off of work.
Due to the higher level of heat, humidity, and sunlight, some people are cautious about having any skin-changing procedure during summer. Unlike certain other cosmetic treatments, it’s perfectly fine to go out in the sun after you have had BOTOX®. The intense sunlight won’t have any effect on the deep treatment on your facial muscles.
Squinting can cause deep grooves around the eyes. We tend to squint more, frown, and wriggle our foreheads when exposed to bright sunlight – all of which can lead to the formation of squint wrinkles. Even if we wear sunglasses or hats, we’re likely to be squinting more than normal. This treatment blocks certain muscle contractions like those that happen when you squint to prevent crow’s feet and frown lines.
