Botox Treatments FAQ
What is BOTOX® Cosmetic?
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a prescription medication injected into facial and/or neck muscles to temporarily reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
How does BOTOX® Cosmetic work?
BOTOX® Cosmetic minimizes contraction of the specifically selected muscles that contribute to the formation of lines and wrinkles. Many patients combine dermal fillers with BOTOX® Cosmetic injections, to replace the fat volume that is lost with age at the same time, for a completely refreshed and softened look.
What is the procedure for injecting BOTOX® Cosmetic?
Our aesthetic physician will discuss your personal concerns and let you know if you will benefit from a BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment. She will then prescribe your treatment plan and let you know the total cost. The treatment itself takes just minutes.
Does it hurt?
The doctor is a very experienced aesthetic injector and will assure you are comfortable throughout your entire appointment.
What areas benefit from BOTOX® Cosmetic injections?
In general, BOTOX® Cosmetic is most often injected into frown lines and forehead, as well as around the eyes to minimize the signs of aging. Experienced physicians also treat fine lines on the upper lip, marionette lines at the corners of the mouth, exaggerated jaw muscles and neck bands, and rippling of the chin.
When will I see results from BOTOX® Cosmetic?
BOTOX® Cosmetic take 2-7 days to take effect and will continue to improve for up to a month.
What are typical side effects of Botox treatments?
As with any type of injection, there is always a risk of small bruises where you are injected, though the doctor will do her best to avoid this.
How long does BOTOX® last?
The benefits of BOTOX® Cosmetic last approximately four months, and sometimes longer. If you choose to discontinue receiving treatment, lines and wrinkles gradually become more apparent just as before you started your BOTOX® treatments.
