Anti-Wrinkle Injections
Botox works by blocking nerve signals to the muscles in the treated area. This prevents the muscles from contracting, which softens and relaxes the wrinkles. It’s most commonly used on dynamic wrinkles—those caused by repeated facial movements like smiling, frowning, or raising your eyebrows.
If you’re considering Botox to reduce wrinkles or fine lines, here’s what you can expect during the procedure. Botox is a quick and relatively painless treatment with little to no downtime, making it one of the most popular non-surgical cosmetic procedures.
- Discuss your goals: We’ll talk about the areas you want to improve, such as forehead lines, crow’s feet, or frown lines, and what kind of results you’re hoping to achieve.
- Facial assessment: We will examine your facial expressions and muscle movements to determine the best injection sites.
- Plan the treatment: Based on your goals and anatomy, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan, including the number of units of Botox needed to achieve the desired results.
Botox injections are relatively quick and painless, but we take steps to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure:
- Cleaning the skin: We will cleanse the treatment area to prevent any risk of infection.
- Numbing the area (optional): While most people don’t find Botox painful, a topical numbing cream or ice pack can be applied to the skin to reduce any discomfort, especially for sensitive areas like around the eyes.
- Administering the Botox: Using a fine, small needle, Botox is injected into the targeted muscles. The injections are quick and typically feel like a slight pinch or prick. Most people find the process tolerable, and it generally lasts only a few minutes.
- Forehead lines: To smooth horizontal lines across the forehead.
- Frown lines: Also known as “11 lines” between the eyebrows.
- Crow’s feet: Fine lines around the eyes.
- Bunny lines: Wrinkles on the sides of the nose.
- Chin dimpling: To reduce a “pebbly” appearance on the chin.
- Neck bands: To soften vertical lines in the neck.
- Jawline slimming: Relaxing the masseter muscles to create a slimmer face shape.
Botox results typically last 3 to 6 months. After this period, muscle activity gradually returns, and you may need follow-up treatments to maintain your results.
Yes! When administered by an experienced professional, Botox will reduce wrinkles while allowing you to maintain natural expressions. The goal is to soften lines, not to “freeze” your face.
Yes, Botox is FDA-approved and has a long track record of safety when performed by a trained practitioner. It has been used for cosmetic purposes for over 20 years with minimal risks when injected correctly.
Botox requires little to no downtime. Most people can return to their normal activities immediately after the treatment. We recommend avoiding strenuous exercise, alcohol, and excessive sun exposure for the first 24 hours to minimize swelling and bruising.
You will start to see noticeable improvements in 3 to 5 days, with full results appearing in about 7 to 10 days after your treatment. The treated muscles gradually relax, smoothing out the lines and wrinkles.
Most patients describe the sensation as a slight pinch. If you are concerned about discomfort, a topical numbing cream can be applied before the injections to ensure a more comfortable experience.
Yes, Botox is not permanent, and touch-ups are needed to maintain your results. Most patients schedule Botox treatments every 3 to 6 months, depending on how quickly their body metabolizes the product and the severity of the wrinkles.
Absolutely! Botox is often combined with other cosmetic treatments such as dermal fillers for a more comprehensive rejuvenation. Botox smooths out dynamic wrinkles (caused by muscle movement), while fillers restore lost volume and plump up deeper lines. Other treatments like chemical peels or laser resurfacing can also be combined for more dramatic results.
After the injections are complete, you’ll receive simple aftercare instructions to ensure the best results:
- No touching or rubbing: Avoid touching, rubbing, or massaging the treated area for at least 4-6 hours to prevent the Botox from spreading to unintended areas.
- Stay upright: It’s recommended to stay upright for at least 4 hours after the treatment, so avoid lying down or bending over immediately following the procedure.
- No intense exercise: Avoid strenuous physical activity for the first 24 hours after treatment to reduce the risk of bruising or swelling.
- Normal activities: Most patients return to their normal daily activities immediately after treatment, as there is minimal downtime.
