New Year, New You Season… Leave Wrinkles in 2025
As the calendar flips to 2026, many of us feel the urge to start fresh: new goals, new routines, new hopes. Why not extend your renewal to your skin and appearance? If fine lines, crow’s feet or forehead furrows have been creeping in, now might be the perfect time to consider a wrinkle relaxing treatment. With the right approach, and the right injector, you can greet the new year feeling refreshed, youthful and confident.
What Are Botox and Xeomin & How Do They Work?
Botox and Xeomin are neurotoxin injectables that temporarily relax the small facial muscles whose repetitive motion causes dynamic wrinkles like frown lines, forehead creases and crow’s feet.
When those muscles are able to relax, the overlying skin smooths out, reducing the appearance of existing wrinkles and even helping to prevent new ones from forming.
What To Expect: Results, Timing & Maintenance
Injection takes about 10-15 minutes, and there is no downtime involved. Many patients begin noticing smoother lines within 3-5 days; full results will be visible within a week or two. The effects last from 3-6 months, but this number will vary from person to person. To maintain a refreshed appearance, expect to return for injections several times a year.
Why January is the Perfect Time for Treatment
If you already have momentum towards a new fitness regimen or other wellness habits, it’s easy to channel that energy towards your skin. Because injectables like Botox give you slow, natural progress, starting a maintenance routine at the beginning of the year allows you to build up to and fine tune your look for future plans like vacations, weddings or other social events. Beginning treatments early in the year gives you a better understanding of how often you will need upkeep appointments, so you can plan ahead for consistent results.
