How Botox Cosmetic Injections Work
A very small amount is injected into a specific muscle which creates the wrinkle. This blocks the nerve impulses from reaching the area, allowing the muscles to relax. As the muscle relaxes, the wrinkle is softened and smoothed out. Untreated facial muscles contract normally, allowing normal facial expression to be unaffected.
Downtime
No downtime after treatment.
The Experience
The needle is very tiny. It's comparable to a mosquito bite.
Aftercare
For the first hour utilize the muscle of the treated area.
Possible Side Effects
Temporary bruising is possible and can be minimized by avoiding Advil /aspirin products and Vitamin E for 7-days prior to treatment. About 1-2% of patients may experience a slight lowering of the eyelid. Mild short-term headaches can occur. There have been no permanent side effects from the use of Botox®. It should be avoided if pregnant or lactating.
The Success
The results begin within 3-5days, the full effect takes 2-3 weeks. Treatment will gradually wear-off in 3-4 months. After several treatments, the effects may last longer.
Botox will assist in helping dermal facial filler ( Juvederm / Restylane)treatments last longer.
The History
