Botox

Botox is offered to rejuvenate the facial skin. A “neuromodulator” is an injectable that affects muscle motions.  It contains a medically formulated toxin that, when injected, halts the signals from the nerves that cause the muscles to contract. When injected properly, in the correct quantity, your skin smooths, leaving you looking younger, refreshed, and rejuvenated.

Botox blocks signals from the nerves to the muscles. The injected muscle can’t contract. That makes wrinkles relax and soften.

Botox is most often used on forehead lines, crow’s feet (lines around the eye), and frown lines. Botox won’t help with wrinkles caused by sun damage or gravity.

Treatment

Your injections will take only a few minutes to complete. Most clients don’t find the injections very difficult to experience, but if you are very sensitive, a numbing cream can be applied before your BOTOX injections.

The product is injected with a very fine needle in several locations on your forehead and around your eyes.

Getting Botox takes only a few minutes. You won’t need anesthesia. The provider uses a small needle to inject Botox into specific muscles with only minor discomfort.

It generally takes 7 to 14 days to take full effect. It’s best to avoid alcohol starting at least 1 week before the procedure. You should also stop taking aspirin and anti-inflammatory medications 2 weeks before treatment to help prevent bruising.

How long does it last?

The effects from Botox will last 3 to 6 months. As muscle action slowly returns, the lines and wrinkles begin to reappear and need to be treated again. The lines and wrinkles often appear less severe with time because the muscles are shrinking.
