What is BOTOX?
BOTOX Cosmetic is a minimally invasive treatment that uses low doses of botulinum toxin to temporarily improve the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines between the brows and along the forehead, as well as fine lines around the eyes. The procedure involves a few small injections directly into the muscles that cause these facial lines, causing the muscles to relax and the lines to soften. The treatment is quick, with no downtime required. Discomfort is typically minimal and brief, and the most common side effects are localized pain, swelling, redness, or minor bleeding/bruising. Rare side effects may include infection or temporary eyelid drooping. Visible results can be seen within a few days after the treatment and have been shown to last up to 4 months.

While the effects of this wrinkle treatment may seem permanent, they typically last only 3-4 months, depending on factors like skin type.

It’s essential that you notify your practitioner if you’ve received other kinds of injections in the three months prior to your appointment. Avoid using medicines, such as aspirin, ibuprofen and other drugs that thin the blood prior to your treatment. These may increase bleeding and bruising risks. Furthermore, be sure to tell your practitioner if you’re taking any allergy drugs, muscle relaxers or sleep aids.
