Botox Injections

Cosmetic Uses of Botox

Doctors have been using Botox and dermal fillers for years to successfully treat wrinkles and facial creases.

 
How Does Botox Work?
Botox blocks signals from the nerves to the muscles. The injected muscle can't contract, which makes each wrinkle relax and soften.
Botox is most often used on forehead lines, crow's feet (lines around the eye), and frown lines.

A wrinkle caused by sun damage and gravity will not respond to Botox.

How Is a Botox Procedure Done?
Getting Botox takes only a few minutes and doesn't require anesthesia. Botox is injected with a fine needle into specific muscles with only minor discomfort. 
It generally takes up to 7-14 days to take full effect, and it is best to avoid alcohol. You should also stop taking aspirin and anti-inflammatory medications two weeks before treatment to reduce bruising.

How Long Does a Botox Injection Last?
The effects from Botox will last up to six months. As muscle action gradually 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 being trained to relax.

What Are the Side Effects of Botox?
Temporary bruising is the most common side effect of Botox. Headaches, which end in 24 to 48 hours, can happen, but this is rare. A small percentage of patients may develop eyelid drooping. This usually ends within three weeks. Drooping usually happens when the Botox moves around, so don't rub the treated area for 12 hours after injection or lie down for three to four hours.
