FAQs

Botox is a drug made from a protein that works on facial muscles and causes them to relax. It can be injected into specific areas of the face in order to smooth wrinkles and lines. It can also be used to treat conditions such as excessive sweating.

When Botox is injected into a muscle, it decreases the signals that allow that muscle to tighten. The muscle can no longer contract as tightly, making skin appear smoother and preventing the lines from worsening.

The injections only take a few minutes and can be performed in one visit.

Side effects are very rare with Botox. Possible side effects include mild itching or rash, stiffness, pain, temporary muscle weakness, headache, bruising or pain near the injection site, and swelling. If a patient is allergic, a reaction may also occur. More serious side effects can occur but are rare. If you experience any unusual side effects, contact our doctor or your primary care doctor.

While the time may vary depending on the symptoms, most side effects should dissipate within a few hours to a few days.

While you may notice results within the first few days, it typically takes up to a week to achieve the full effect.

Botox injections will last anywhere from three to six months.

To maintain your best results, it’s recommended that you receive injections every four to six months.

When done correctly, Botox looks very natural.
