What is Botox?
Botox, also known as Botulinum, is a protein used in cosmetic and medical procedures related to muscle activity. Botox is a highly effective, FDA-approved procedure that reverses the visible effects of facial aging.
These quick injections at the site of wrinkles allow the facial muscles to relax, causing the facial wrinkles to become more shallow and less prominent facial creases.

What you should know
The effects of botox last between 3-6 months for most patients. Over time, with regular treatments, the effects of Botox may start to last longer for some people.
Possible side effects of Botox include temporary bruising, swelling, or redness at the injection site.
Common areas of treatment include frown lines between the eyebrows, “crow’s feet” around the eyes, lip lines, soften dimplings of the chin, and deep forehead “furrows.”
Many patients pair botox with collagen injections, chemical peels, microdermabrasion skin resurfacing, and FotoFacials.
While the experience of each patient may differ, it usually takes 3-5 days to see the effects of Botox. For some, it may take up to 2 weeks to realize the final effects.

Administering botox takes around 10 to 15 minutes.
It works by blocking the nerve signals needed for facial muscles to contract. It’s the repetitious contraction of facial muscles that causes expression lines and wrinkles.
Patients can choose to maintain their results for longer periods by undergoing periodic maintenance treatments every 3-4 months.
A week before the treatment most physicians will advise patients to stop consuming alcohol or taking any medications or supplements that thin the blood like aspirin, ibuprofen, Gingko Biloba, or Ginseng. This will help minimize bruising after the procedure.
Botulinum, or OnabotulinumtoxinA, is a natural, purified protein and it is safe for various medical uses as the toxin isn’t digested in your stomach and the doses are extremely small.
