What Is BOTOX?

Botox is the brand name for botulinum toxin, a neurotoxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. In aesthetics, Botox is known for its ability to reduce wrinkles and fine lines by temporarily “relaxing” facial muscles, such as those causing frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines.

What To Expect

Cosmetic Botox procedures enhance appearance by smoothing wrinkles and fine lines. Commonly treated areas include the forehead, crow’s feet around the eyes, and frown lines between the eyebrows. The injections temporarily relax the underlying muscles, reducing the appearance of dynamic wrinkles caused by facial expressions.

Botox treatments typically take 10 to 30 minutes, depending on the area being treated, and require no downtime. Effects begin to appear within a few days and usually last approximately three months. Repeat treatments are necessary to maintain the results.

The Procedure

Before the procedure, a consultation is conducted to review the patient’s medical history, discuss desired outcomes, and set realistic expectations. The treatment area is cleaned with an antiseptic solution, and for sensitive spots, a topical anesthetic or ice may be applied to minimize discomfort.

During the procedure, your provider injects Botox into the targeted muscles or tissues using a fine needle. The number of injections depends on the treatment area and the specific condition being addressed. Once the injections are complete, post-procedure instructions are included in your patient packet. Patients should avoid activities that increase blood flow to the area, such as vigorous exercise or using hot tubs, for a day or two.

What Else Can You Do?

In addition to getting Botox, there are also other steps that you can take to minimize the development of wrinkles, including:

  • Wearing sun protection. Apply sunscreen with 30 SPF or higher to all parts of your skin that aren’t covered by clothing daily.
  • Stopping smoking and drinking less alcohol. Both of these habits can age your skin prematurely.
  • Applying a good facial moisturizer every day. Skin that stays hydrated looks younger.
  • Avoiding tans. If you want a bronzed look, use a good self-tanner instead of baking your skin outside or in a tanning bed.
  • Eat a healthy diet. Include lots of fresh fruits and vegetables in your meals; this may help prevent damage to your skin.
