About Botox
What is Botox?
Botox is an injectable treatment that temporarily reduces targeted muscle activity. In aesthetic treatments, this can soften the appearance of dynamic lines and wrinkles while maintaining natural facial expression. Treatments are quick and require minimal downtime.
How does Botox work?
Botox works by temporarily reducing nerve signals to targeted muscles. As muscle activity decreases, dynamic lines caused by repeated facial expressions can soften and become less noticeable.
What to expect from Botox
The treatment is quick and can typically be completed with a few tiny injections in less than 30 minutes. Noticeable results are generally observed 5-7 days after treatment, with full results visible 14 days post-treatment. Botox appointments are quick and typically take less than 30 minutes. Most clients begin noticing results within several days, with full results developing around two weeks after treatment.
Botox FAQs
-
The amount of treatment needed depends on several factors, including the area(s) being treated (such as 11s, forehead, crow’s feet), the strength of your facial muscles, and the depth of your existing lines. A complimentary consultation with our practitioners will help create a personalized plan for you.
-
Most clients describe the sensation as a tiny pinch. The needle used is quite small, goes in smoothly, and the neurotoxin is injected quickly, resulting in minimal pain. Numbing agents are not typically used for this treatment.
-
There is virtually zero downtime with neurotoxin treatments. Often referred to as a “lunchtime procedure,” most patients can return to work or normal activities immediately. Some redness and swelling may occur at the injection sites but usually subside within a few hours. Minor bruising is rare.
-
Results typically last around 3-6 months, depending on the treatment location, your muscle activity, and your body’s response.
-
Neurotoxin injections are very common and low-risk procedures. The most reported side effects include headaches, minor bruising, and swelling at the injection site, although these are rare. Your nurse injector will cover all potential risks before treatment.
