What is Botox?
Botox is a brand name for a type of botulinum toxin, a protein that is produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. The protein works by temporarily paralyzing the muscles that cause wrinkles and fine lines. When Botox is injected into the muscle, it blocks the nerve signals that tell the muscle to contract. This results in a relaxed and smooth appearance of the skin.
Three Simple Steps:
Your Botox Consultation
Before beginning a Botox treatment, a consultation with a provider is necessary to ensure that it is the appropriate solution for achieving your goals.
Botox Injections
After consultation, Botox treatment can begin, with minimal discomfort and quick completion.
Recovery and Results
Botox may cause minor swelling and redness, which usually go away quickly. It's a quick treatment, but first-time users may prefer to go home to monitor any side effects like temporary headache, achiness or fatigue which are uncommon but may be more manageable at home.
Botox results take about a week to appear, plan accordingly for special events. Touch-ups can be scheduled every 3-6 months, based on when wrinkles reappear.
