What is Botox?
Botox injections are an FDA-approved
treatment consisting of a neurotoxin called
botulinum toxin type A.
The way this neurotoxin works is by
temporarily paralyzing the muscles
responsible for causing wrinkles.
Once muscle activity is reduced and the
muscles stop contracting, wrinkle
formations fade away, and within a couple
days, your skin complexion smoothens and
displays a more youthful appearance.
What to expect during your botox appointment
Getting your botox injection is a very simple process that only requires about 15 minutes.
While each person has different thresholds for experiencing pain, the Botox injection is minimally painful, with some individuals describing it as minor sting. The downtime is minimal to none, with a chance of slight swelling and bruising.
* Patients may notice improvement of fine lines and wrinkles within 24-72 hours, and full results should be seen within a week from the injection.
* The effects of the Botox treatment generally lasts 3-4 months, and the results can be maintained by returning for touch-ups periodically.
A patient who regularly obtains botox injections will require less units of Botox over time, since the inactive muscles will decrease in size, therefore requiring less substance to work with when compared to a first-time user with larger muscles.
