BOTOX before and afters
Patient or Procedure filler text here.
How long does Botox last?
While Botox treatments take only about 20 minutes or less, the results are apparent very quickly. The first time you get a treatment, it may take 2-7 days for the results to appear. Those who have had treatments before will see results in a day. After your Botox or other neuromodulator treatment, your skin will be smoother and far freer from wrinkles. Your face will appear younger, but you’ll also look naturally relaxed, never frozen or done. These results typically last for 3-4 months.
What other areas besides wrinkles can Botox treat?
Botox can be used to treat hyperhydrosis of the hands or armpits. You can use Botox above the lip area to create a lip flip. For those that have bruxism Botox can be injected in the jaw area to help reduce teeth grinding.
Are Botox, Dysport, or Xeomin injections painful?
Most patients feel very little discomfort because the needle used during injections is very thin and fine. However, there may be some mild discomfort. To ensure the treatment is as comfortable as possible, a numbing agent can be applied beforehand. After your treatment, you may experience some swelling or bruising at the injection site.
How long do the effects of these treatments typically last?
The effects generally last between 3 to 4 months, but individual experiences may vary based on factors like metabolism and treatment area.
What should I do to prepare for my treatment?
To minimize the risk of bruising or bleeding, it's advisable to avoid aspirin, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications (like ibuprofen), St. John's Wort, Gingko Biloba, Vitamin E, or fish oil supplements for one week prior to your treatment. If you require a pain reliever during this period, Tylenol is acceptable.
