As the years pass, our bodies produce fewer natural growth hormones that keep our skin smooth and wrinkle free. To combat this, we have a variety of facial and body treatments that can help reduce fine lines and wrinkles. One of the most popular is BOTOX. Botox, also known as a botulinum toxin product, is a neuromodulator that works by blocking the nerve signals to the muscles where it’s injected. It’s a safe and effective way to give your skin a fresher look without the need for surgery.
Aleta Sloan PA-C, dubbed the Laser Queen shortly after her arrival in Wilmington, has been practicing medical aesthetics since 2010. Her extensive training with injectables and lasers combined with her 30 years as an Emergency Room, Internal Medicine and Cardiology Physician Assistant brings the best of both worlds to her patients’ personalized treatment plans. Her goal is to avoid over-using fillers and provide truly natural results.
When you come to the office for your first Botox spa in Wilmington NC session, you can expect a clinical evaluation and medical history review followed by your injections. We use topical numbing agents if desired to make this nearly painless procedure more comfortable, then inject the exact location where you want the Botox injected. After your treatment, the First State Med Spa team will explain how to care for your injection sites and how long you should avoid rubbing or massaging them.
You’ll notice the effects of your Botox within a week or two, and they will last for up to four months. We recommend scheduling regular touch-up sessions every few months as a part of your overall skincare regimen to maintain optimal results.
Besides being an amazing cosmetic tool to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, Botox can also be used to treat other skin issues like acne. The peptides in Botox inhibit the release of certain chemicals that cause inflammation, which can improve the appearance of redness, rosacea and other conditions. MagnifaSkin Medspa, located on US 202 in Concord Pike, offers a range of professional skincare services, including laser treatments that can kill the bacteria that causes acne.
