Botox

BOTOX® Cosmetic (onabotulinumtoxinA) is the only FDA-approved treatment to temporarily improve both moderate to severe frown lines between the brows and crow’s feet in adults. You can get treated in both areas at the same time—that’s the beauty of BOTOX® Cosmetic.

What Does Botox Do?

It works by blocking the transmission of nerve impulses to the injected muscles; this reduces the activity of the muscles that cause those persistent lines to form. BOTOX® Cosmetic is injected directly into the muscles between your brows. It tends to be more impactful for those moderate to severe frown lines between your brows that form over time due to muscle activity.

How Fast Does Botox Work?

Within days, you may see a marked improvement in the moderate to severe frown lines between your brows. Lines continue to improve for up to a month, and results can last for up to 4 months. In clinical trials, nearly 90% of men and women rated the improvement in their appearance as moderate to better 1 month after treatment. Results may vary.

How Long Does Botox Last?

Botox, like many botulinum toxin injections, usually lasts three to four months. However, depending on the patient, the results can vary from two to six months. The toxins wear off after three to six months, and muscles regain movement.

How Do I Prepare for Botox?

Schedule in Advance

It is recommended you make your Botox treatments as least two weeks in advance of any special events to ensure the best possible result.

Avoid Alcohol and Caffeine

You’ll be asked to avoid alcohol and caffeine at least 48 hours prior to treatment to avoid increased bruising or bleeding.

2 Weeks Post Chemical Peels

You’ll be asked to confirm it has been at least 2 weeks since your last facial or peel.

Avoid NSAIDs

Avoid medications: Stop taking blood thinners, aspirin, ibuprofen, and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) at least two days before your appointment.

What is the Aftercare for Botox?

Laying Down

You should avoid laying down or bending over for the first few hours after receiving Botox. This can cause treatment to shift from its direct/ specific placement.

Avoid Exercsie

Avoid any strenuous exercise, and manipulation of the area several hours post treatment.

Maintain Treatment

Regular treatment is necessary to maintain results, optimally done prior to the Botox wearing off.
