Everyone has unique expressions. We move our facial muscles in a repetitive way and over time those repetitive movements cause wrinkles and fine lines. When you start to experience the signs of aging, Botox ® is available to diminish unwanted wrinkles and creases in your face.
Botox ® blocks the release of a chemical called acetylcholine, which triggers the muscle contractions that create wrinkles. Botox® essentially paralyzes the muscles and stops them from contracting. Results from Botox® are visible within two to four days with results that can last anywhere from four to six months.
Generally, anyone in good health who has fairly shallow fine lines and wrinkles may be good candidates for Botox ® treatments.
Most patients require retreatment to remove wrinkles and lines as they begin to reappear, but after each injection the wrinkles return as less severe as the muscles are trained to relax. The procedure does not require anesthesia and usually takes just a few minutes to perform. Botox ® treatments can help both men and women rejuvenate and revitalize their appearance.
Most of our clients report minimal discomfort, similar to a slight pinch. However, everyone is different. If you are concerned with pain, talk to your Medical Practitioner about applying a topical numbing cream before the treatment begins.
The injection portion of your treatment is quick - approximately 10 minutes - however, we allot a 30-minute booking time for new guests to ensure you are comfortable and thoroughly informed throughout your treatment.
As a non-surgical procedure, you can return to normal activities after your treatment; many people go straight to work after BOTOX® Cosmetic and describe it as a “lunchtime treatment”.
Noticeable results begin within 24 hours with best results in 5-7 days and results last up to 4 months. e treatment, you will notice a bright redness to the skin. The total healing time depends on the pen position used and the number of overlapping passes your skin-care professional performs. On average, patients experience redness for 2-4 days. Some patients heal completely in 24 hours.
If you are noticing fine lines and wrinkles, see us for a consultation to decide if BOTOX® Cosmetic might be right for you.
BOTOX COSMETIC® injections are intended to enhance the way you look, not change it. When administered by an experienced physician, you will still smile, frown and be expressive.
The treatment relaxes the muscle beneath the lines at the point of injection. Other elements of your facial expression remain active. It also has no effect on the sensory nerves, which means you will experience normal sensations in the treated areas. So you’ll look like yourself—only with less noticeable lines. No one should be able to tell you’ve had anything done.
