What Is Botox and How Does It Work?
With years of frowning, smiling, squinting, and raising your eyebrows, repeated muscle contractions can take their toll on your complexion, leaving you with deep lines and wrinkles. Botox is a therapeutic neurotoxin derived from the bacterium clostridium botulinum. The injectable neuromodulator blocks the nerve signals to the muscles responsible for contractions, relaxing them and reducing their activity. Botox virtually erases moderate to severe crow's feet, forehead wrinkles, frown lines, under-eye lines, and marionette lines. The age-defying procedure delivers beautifully natural and subtle results.
What Happens During Your Botox Treatment?
Botox treatments are quick and easy, usually only taking a few minutes to complete. Our highly trained and experienced provider will start by explaining the procedure and what you can expect. Most patients don't require local anesthetics. However, you can opt for a topical numbing agent if needed.
Our provider will thoroughly cleanse the treatment area and then use tiny microneedles to inject the Botox into your facial muscles, with minimal to no pain or discomfort. After treatment, we'll apply ice and pressure to the treated areas to prevent swelling. You won't need any downtime, meaning you can resume your daily activities as soon as you leave our office. Botox delivers predictable, subtle results, so you'll look like you, only without those unwanted facial lines!
What Results Should You Expect?
Most of our patients report visible results, with smoother and younger-looking skin in just a few days. However, most achieve the full effects of treatment at around the 30-day mark, with results typically lasting three to four months. At that point, the effects of treatment will start wearing off, and the muscle action will return.
Depending on your unique needs, we may recommend touch-up treatments every three months or before a special occasion to maintain your dramatic results. The intervals between treatments will increase with time because your muscles will learn to relax, requiring less future maintenance.
Keep in mind that treatment results may vary from patient to patient.
Is Botox Safe?
Botox is safe and highly effective when administered by an experienced provider. One of its main advantages is that it relaxes lines and wrinkles without significant side effects for most patients. You may have some minor redness, swelling, bruising, and itching at the injection sites, but these temporary side effects should soon resolve.
