ABOUT BOTOX
1
How does Botox work?
Botox is a neurotoxin (a form of botulinum toxin type A) that is injected into targeted treatment areas. Neurotoxins work by blocking nerve signals to prevent muscles from contracting, allowing the skin to remain smooth and unwrinkled.
2
What areas can be treated?
​​In facial aesthetics, Botox can be used to soften and reduce lines and wrinkles on the forehead, lips and face. Neurotoxin may also be used to treat medical conditions such as spasticity, hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) and excessive drooling.
3
Does Botox hurt?
Botox treatments are given with an ultra-fine needle, and are not painful. Most patients say they experience minimal discomfort during the injection process. Treatment requires no anesthesia or recovery time.
4
When will I see the results?
​Each patient is different, but on average results gradually become apparent between 3-7 days after receiving injections. For some, it may take up to 2 weeks to realize the final effects.
5
How long does Botox last?
The outcome will vary from person to person, but typically results last 12-36 weeks. The location of the injection and the amount used are the biggest factors that impact this. Other factors include your age, the elasticity of your skin, and wrinkle depth.
Over time when facial muscles aren’t used, they eventually get shorter and smaller, so regular use of Botox may extend the results for longer periods of time
