Botox
Botox is one of the most popular cosmetic treatments available today, and for good reason. This non-surgical, injectable treatment is FDA-approved and has been used safely and successfully for many years. Here are some of the most common questions we receive about Botox:
What is Botox and how does it work?
Botox is a neurotoxin that works by temporarily paralyzing the muscles that cause wrinkles and lines on the face. It is injected directly into the targeted muscle, causing it to relax and smooth out wrinkles.
What areas of the face can be treated with Botox?
Botox is most commonly used to treat wrinkles and lines on the forehead, between the eyebrows, and around the eyes (crow's feet).
Is Botox safe?
Yes, when administered by a licensed and experienced professional, Botox is a safe and effective treatment. Side effects are typically mild and temporary, such as redness or swelling at the injection site.
How long do the results of Botox last?
The effects of Botox typically last 3-6 months, at which point the muscle activity gradually returns and wrinkles and lines begin to reappear.
Is there any downtime after Botox?
No, there is no downtime required after a Botox treatment. You can resume your normal activities immediately, although it is recommended to avoid strenuous exercise for the first 24 hours.
