Botox ®
is a cosmetic treatment designed to relax muscles and reduce lines
and wrinkles on your face. The aim is to treat frown lines, forehead creases,
and crow’s feet, but is also used in other areas, including lips,
lower face, neck, and even down-turned smiles.
Some wrinkles and lines are caused by overactive muscles.
Botox ® relaxes these muscles, allowing for fewer unwanted expressions.
Procedure
No anesthesia is required for this minor discomfort procedure. During the injection you may feel pressure, stinging and insignificant burning, or sometimes you don’t feel any discomfort at all. The procedure usually takes 10-20 minutes.
Preparation, Recovery and Aftercare
Make sure to avoid:
- Alcohol for at least 3 days prior to your treatment
- Anti-inflammatory medication like aspirin or ibuprofen for at least two weeks before your treatment to reduce a risk of bruising.
You can resume normal activity immediately after your Botox ® injections are done.
You might have some redness or slight bruising after, but it should dissipate quickly.
You should not rub or massage the treated area for at least twelve hours after your injections and you should not lie down for three to four hours after your treatment.
The procedure may cause temporary headaches, bruising and numbness.
Contraindications
- Pregnancy
- Lactating period
