all about botox
What is Botox?
Botox is a botulinum toxin protein that has been approved by the FDA for treatment of fine lines and wrinkles. When small quantities are injected into target muscles, a localized chemical reaction occurs. This reaction temporarily reduces muscle contractions, resulting in a smoothing effect on fine lines and wrinkles.
What to Expect
Expect to be obsessed with your new look. There is almost no downtime for most patients and Botox has been proven to be a safe and effective cosmetic treatment. Most clients will see results in 7-14 days and expect results to last around 3-4 months. Botox can be preventative for wrinkles and can increase longevity of product with consistent use.
Aftercare
Do not touch your face for 24 hours, no bending or lying down for 4 hours, do not exercise for 24 hours, and no manipulating the face such as facials or massages for 2 weeks. Doing so can cause the botox to spread from the desired location. Please avoid alcohol and heat for 24-72 hours, this can disrupt the effectiveness of Botox.
