Botox Cosmetic

Before Treatment

To better understand your overall health, we will evaluate your medical history prior to treatment. In addition, a complete examination of your face is made in order to decide the most effective injection sites. All issues and concerns will be discussed.

The areas that will be treated are marked and digital photographs are taken in order to determine the amount of improvement after treatment.

THE BOTOX or Dysport PROCEDUREs

Botox and Dysport injections are performed without anesthesia because it is virtually painless. Only a very small sting is felt when the injections are made. The effects are not permanent and may need to be repeated two to three times per year to retain the effects. Research has suggested, however, that long term use of the injections leads to a longer duration of each treatment’s effect. Patients over the age of 65 may not experience as dramatic of results. Botox is only useful in treating expression lines and cannot be used to repair sagging skin caused by aging.

POST-treament INFORMATION

After receiving Botox or Dysport injections, proper aftercare is essential to achieve the best results and minimize any potential side effects. Patients should avoid rubbing or massaging the treated areas for at least 24 hours to prevent the product from spreading to unintended muscles. It’s also recommended to stay upright for a few hours post-treatment and refrain from strenuous exercise, excessive heat exposure (such as saunas or hot tubs), and alcohol consumption for the remainder of the day. Some mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites is normal and typically resolves within a few days. Full results generally become visible within 7 days, with optimal effects seen around two weeks. If you experience any unusual side effects or have concerns, please contact our office for guidance.
