FAQs About Anti-Aging Treatments
What is the difference between Botox, Xeomin and Dysport?
What do I need to know before my Botox procedure?
Typically, appointments take no longer than 30 minutes to complete, depending on the areas you are treating. To minimize the risk of bruising, we recommend avoiding anti-inflammatory supplements, such as Vitamin E, flaxseed oil and fish oil before your appointment.
What do I need to know after my Botox procedure?
Botox requires very little downtime. After your procedure, you can resume the rest of your day’s activities. Most people will have “Botox bumps” at the injection sites, which are small bumps that look similar to a mosquito bite. These bumps go away on their own and only last approximately 10-15 minutes after your Botox injections. We recommend that you let the injection sites heal on their own and not massage the area to reduce swelling. After your treatment, we also recommend refraining from exercise, and receiving a facial or massage for at least 24 hours.
How long does Botox last?
You can begin to see results as quickly as three days after your appointment, but it takes fourteen days to see the maximum skin-smoothing results of Botox. How long your Botox treatment lasts depends on a number of factors. While individual results may vary, typically you’ll be able to enjoy the look of your Botox results for approximately 3-4 months.
Will I still be able to make facial expressions?
That’s up to you. Whether you want to have a natural more rested and rejuvenated look, the “frozen” look, or anything in between, our medical providers will deliver the results you desire.
What other conditions do neurotoxins treat?
Neurotoxins are used in other cosmetic procedures, including lip flips, a non-surgical procedure that enhances the shape and volume of your lips without the use of dermal fillers. During the procedure, a neurotoxin is injected into the upper lip so the muscles in the lip are relaxed, essentially flipping your lip upward.
Botox and other neurotoxins are not just effective treatments for improving the appearance of fine lines wrinkles and thin, lips. Neurotoxins can relieve symptoms of TMJ, jaw tension and migraines for many patients. During the treatment, neurotoxins may be injected into your facial muscles, forehead, temple and jaw, relaxing the muscles and reducing the discomfort that’s often associated with these conditions. The use of neurotoxins for TMJ is considered highly effective; one study found that neurotoxins improved symptoms of TMJ in 90% of study participants.
Botox is FDA-approved for treating patients who experience excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis. During the procedure neurotoxins are injected to multiple areas in the underarm, blocking the nerve signals that are responsible for sweating. Typically, the use of Botox for underarm sweating lasts approximately six months but individual results may vary.
How do I know if I am a candidate?
If you have moderate to severe facial wrinkles that you would like to improve, a neurotoxin procedure may be right for you. With injectables such as Botox, you can begin with a mild enhancement and increase the results over time. It is essential to consult with an experienced medical provider that can evaluate your specific aesthetic goals to determine which neurotoxin procedure is a good fit.
Are there any side effects to Botox?
The most common side effects are minimal swelling and bruising at the Botox injection sites. There is a very low chance of infection.
Can I get Botox while pregnant?
Botox should not be used on women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
