What is Botox®, and how does it work?
Botox Cosmetic® is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in the U.S.
Botox works by blocking the nerve signals, temporarily weakening the muscles in the injected area, and having the effect of relaxing wrinkles and lines. This is usually effective for 3-4 months.It’s FDA-approved for treating crow’s feet (or laugh lines) around the eyes, the creases between the brows (the 11’s) and forehead lines. Botox® Cosmetic injections are a safe way to temporarily reduce the appearance of fine lines around the eyes and forehead. Botox® Cosmetic is an FDA-approved substance, originally approved as a medical treatment to control excessive contraction of the muscles around the eyes. Because the patients receiving Botox® Cosmetic for that purpose were experiencing smoother skin and less wrinkling around the eyes, it was discovered that a lower dose of the chemical might be used for cosmetic purposes.
Why Botox is Needed
Aging gracefully is a beautiful journey, yet many seek to soften the signs of passing time, aiming for a refreshed and revitalized look. Botox injections offer a non-invasive solution, temporarily relaxing the muscles responsible for wrinkles, resulting in a smoother, more youthful complexion. Whether it’s for a special occasion or to maintain a vibrant appearance, Botox can be a key component of your beauty regimen.
What to Expect with Botox Treatment
Initial Consultation
Your path to rejuvenation starts with a consultation, where we discuss your objectives
and evaluate your concerns to create a customized treatment plan.
Preparation
Before the procedure, the target area is cleaned, and we may apply a topical anesthetic to enhance your comfort.
This is also when we'll outline what your Botox treatment will entail, ensuring you're fully informed and at ease.
The Treatment
Botox injections are quick, often completed within minutes, and designed to be nearly painless.
Using a fine needle, Botox is carefully administered into the specified muscles.Some bruising and tiny injection marks may occur at the injection site, but these should resolve with ice and
our post-injection care kit.
Post-Treatment
It's normal to experience some bruising and tiny marks at the injection sites.
These minor side effects typically subside quickly, especially with the application of ice and our specially curated post-injection care kit.
Results and Follow-Up
Improvements may be noticeable within 3 to 5 days post-treatment, with the maximum effect visible by 2 weeks.
The results can last up to 3-4 months, at which point we can schedule a follow-up for continued care.
What is Jeuveau?
Jeuveau is a botulinum toxin type A injection used in the treatment of wrinkles. It’s also sometimes called the new Botox because it’s a new version of the same active ingredient used in original Botox Cosmetic injections, and can be a good alternative to Botox.
It works very similarly to Botox. Jeuveau by Evolus is now FDA approved neurotoxin for the temporary improvement of moderate to severe glabellar lines in adults, and is a great choice if you are looking for a more youthful appearance. Jeuveau can also treat forehead lines, crow’s feet, and wrinkles around the mouth.
Prevention
While Botox is effective in addressing existing lines and wrinkles, incorporating preventative measures can enhance and prolong your results. This includes:
- Regular use of sunscreen to protect against UV damage
- Maintaining a healthy, balanced diet rich in antioxidants
- Adopting a consistent skincare regimen
- Avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption
Outlook
The effects of Botox are temporary, lasting approximately 3 to 6 months. Many clients find that regular treatments help maintain their desired appearance, with some noting a reduction in wrinkle formation over time.
