Botox Specialist

What is Botox?

Botox is the first FDA-approved treatment for the temporary reduction in your moderate-to-severe facial lines. 

Areas that may benefit from Botox injections include:

• Forehead
• Between your brows
• At the corner of your eyes
• Outer lips

Botox is a neurotoxin that is injected at the area where you have wrinkles. It works by temporarily reducing your treated area’s muscle activity. When the treated muscles relax, lines and creases can’t form. Your results can be very dramatic, yet you have a completely natural appearance.

What happens during a Botox treatment?

Your provider first examines your face and makes notes as to where Botox injections are to be placed. Your face is then cleansed. If you are wary of needles, your provider applies a numbing cream to ensure your comfort.  

Using a fine needle, your provider carefully injects Botox through your skin into the muscle. In a few days, your muscles begin to relax at the injection site. In about a week, your fine lines and wrinkles have become less discernible.

Typically, Botox injections take about 15 minutes to complete, but the number of injections you require depends upon your aesthetic goals and the number of areas you choose to treat.

What is recovery time for Botox?

Botox injections require minimal downtime. It’s not uncommon to immediately return to your normal daily routine after receiving your injections. You should refrain from strenuous activity for 24 hours after your injections. You may see tiny red spots at the injection sites or experience a slight sensitivity to touch, but these side effects are temporary.

How long do Botox results last?

You may begin to notice results within a couple of days. Your final results are visible after 7-10 days. With your final results, you look like yourself, only with fewer noticeable fine lines and wrinkles. Typically, your results from Botox last for 4-6 months, depending on the strength of your facial muscles and your current lifestyle habits.
