BOTOX is a trusted cosmetic injection that has smoothed lines and wrinkles for over 20 years. It’s been studied, tested, and proven a safe solution for those who want to turn back the clock on aging, restore their smooth and wrinkle-free skin, and maintain long-lasting results. If you want to begin a customized treatment plan with this injectable, we’ll evaluate your desired treatment area and design the right plan for your needs.
The first step in the BOTOX treatment process is your initial consultation with an injector to confirm you’re a good candidate for treatment so you can schedule your first appointment. The treatment process is virtually painless and will only take minutes from start to finish. The BOTOX injectable has a very fine and thin needle, and the injections are quick.
If you’ve never undergone this treatment before, it’s important that you know what to expect after it’s over so that you will arrive at your appointment feeling confident and fully aware of what kind of results to expect, when to expect them, how long they’ll last, and how to care for the injection sites after your treatment is over.
One of the many benefits of the BOTOX is that there’s very minimal downtime. You won’t have to take time off of work but will be able to schedule your appointment during a lunch break because the process is so quick. Once it’s over, you’ll be able to get back to your normal routine and resume all your normal activities as long as you follow the aftercare instructions.
There are some instructions you must follow after your appointment is over to ensure the best results. You must avoid certain activities and environments to avoid product migration and allow the injection sites to heal quickly. When you adhere to all the aftercare instructions, you’ll be doing exactly what it takes to ensure the best treatment outcome and the longest-lasting results. Once your treatment is over, you must:
It’s important to know that you won’t see immediate improvements in your expression lines as soon as you leave our office. It takes time for the neurotoxins to effectively relax the muscles in the treatment area. Some patients may see results within the first 24 hours, but it typically takes around a week to see the most visible improvements in the appearance of your expression lines, and the best results are visible within the first 30 days.
You’ll see gradual improvements in your dynamic wrinkles as the neurotoxins work to block communication between your brain, nerve signals, and muscles, and your skin is no longer forced into repetitive facial expressions all day long. You won’t lose your ability to express yourself, but those expressions will be far less exaggerated than before treatment, and the injectable will promote smooth skin and prevent the worsening of pre-existing lines and wrinkles.
While the results of this treatment are gradual, once they’re visible, they’re also long-lasting. For most patients, these results last three to four months. Patients whose bodies metabolize the ingredients in BOTOX at a slower rate may experience results for up to six months.
It all depends on your body and how quickly it metabolizes the product, and once you undergo your first treatment, you’ll better understand how often you’ll need to schedule maintenance treatments.
BOTOX provides a long-lasting solution for lines and wrinkles, but it also only provides a temporary solution. As your body processes its ingredients, you’ll notice the gradual reappearance of your lines and wrinkles, and your ability to make exaggerated facial expressions will return. Once this occurs, a maintenance appointment will be necessary to maintain smooth and wrinkle-free skin.
If you want to maintain smooth, youthful skin after your first treatment, you must commit to regular follow-up appointments every few months. When you do, you will enjoy the long-term benefits of this prescriptive and preventative anti-aging treatment.
If you’re looking for a safe, quick, and effective treatment that will smooth moderate to severe expression lines for several months, you may be the perfect candidate for a BOTOX treatment plan. This cosmetic injectable will eliminate dynamic wrinkles on the upper half of the face in three areas: the forehead, the outer corners of the eyes, and the area between the eyebrows.
Whether you want to treat lines in one or multiple areas, we will design a customized treatment plan with the right amount of product to subtly smooth those lines, so you achieve natural results.
The best candidates should have realistic expectations about the treatment, understand that follow-up treatments are necessary for long-term results, and be willing to follow all of the aftercare instructions to avoid interfering with the developing results.
To qualify for treatment, patients should be in good health and have healthy skin without any infection at the planned injection site. They must not be allergic to any of the injectable ingredients or be nursing or pregnant. An initial consultation with an injector is the best way to confirm your treatment eligibility.
If your anti-aging skincare regimen isn’t targeting your dynamic wrinkles and helping you achieve smooth, youthful, and wrinkle-free skin, BOTOX will. Not only does it smooth lines and wrinkles, but it also pairs well with other anti-aging treatments to promote optimal skin health and a youthful, radiant complexion.
