Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays can lead to significant skin damage, which may alter how the skin responds to cosmetic treatments like Botox. Sun-damaged skin often exhibits characteristics such as rough texture, uneven pigmentation, and a loss of elasticity. These factors can complicate the effectiveness of Botox, as the aesthetic goals might be harder to achieve. Additionally, the presence of wrinkles and fine lines due to sun exposure can result in less predictable outcomes from the injections.
Aging skin often has reduced elasticity, which can influence how Botox performs. Practitioners will assess skin elasticity and overall skin health to determine the best approach for treatment.
