Botox & Fillers

Botox® is a cosmetic injectable treatment derived from the botulinum toxin. For many years, Botox has been successfully utilized in aesthetic and conventional medicine to treat medical conditions such as chronic migraines and muscle spasms or to smooth away wrinkles and fine lines.Many people choose Botox to reveal younger-looking skin that’s smoother, firmer, and plumper. When your specialist injects Botox into specific facial muscles, it effectively blocks the nerve signals that trigger your muscle contractions. This results in the temporary relaxation of your muscles, and the wrinkles created by those muscles are either significantly diminished or eliminated.

Electrolysis & Laser Center uses Botox to treat some of the deepest and most noticeable facial wrinkles, such as the:

• Crow’s feet
• Frown lines
• Forehead furrows

Your specialist precisely targets a few muscles to diminish wrinkles. Your other facial muscles are left completely unaffected, giving you natural-looking results following your Botox treatment. Most people are good candidates for Botox. If you’re pregnant or if you have certain neurological diseases, you’re not a good candidate for Botox treatment.

During your personal consultation, your specialist reviews your medical history and makes sure you don’t have any medical conditions that could cause issues during or after your Botox injections. Your specialist uses an ultra-fine needle and gently injects a small, safe, and effective dose of Botox. Depending on the areas being treated, your specialist typically administers between four and ten injections. After your Botox treatment, you might notice some mild redness or swelling in the treatment area, but this should soon go away, and you can use makeup to cover it. You can resume your normal daily activities right after your Botox treatment.

Impressively, you can expect to see results within about 24-48 hours after your Botox treatment. This is how long it takes for Botox to completely relax your facial muscles. The results of Botox usually last up to four months or longer. Your body metabolizes the medication over time, and the effect gradually wears off. When your results fade, you should be able to get another Botox treatment to help you maintain your smoother complexion and more youthful-looking appearance. Your specialist can create a highly personalized treatment plan to get you closer to achieving your cosmetic goals.
