Botox Q&A
What is Botox, and how does it work?
Botox is an injectable medication that is formulated from a neurotoxin. In higher concentrations, this neurotoxin is deadly, but the volume used in Botox is safe and carefully controlled.
Botox is the first FDA-approved injectable treatment for temporarily reducing the appearance of crow’s feet, frown lines, and forehead lines. It works by preventing the treated muscle tissue from going through its full range of motion.
Once treated, your facial muscles can still create normal facial expressions but they won’t be strong enough to tug and pull your skin into lines, folds, and wrinkles. Botox has been used in aesthetic treatment for more than two decades and in medical treatment for even longer. Botox injections also treat hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating.
Are Botox injections painful?
The needles used to place Botox injections are incredibly thin. Injections take just a moment to complete and are not painful. Partnering with a highly skilled practitioner like Farina is a great way to ensure your treatment is comfortable and aligned with the highest safety standards.
If you have especially sensitive skin, let Farina know. A topical numbing medication can help reduce sensations in the treatment area.
You won’t need to take time out of the rest of your day to recover after Botox injections. Many people get their treatments during their lunch break, then return to work immediately afterward.
How long will my Botox results take?
It takes 24-48 hours for your Botox treatment to take full effect. You can expect your results to last around four months. At that point, you’ll begin to see your lines and folds slowly returning, and you can decide if you’d like to return for another round of treatment.
The temporary nature of Botox is one of the things that people like most about the treatment. If there are aspects of your results you’d like to change, just let Farina know. She can make minor adjustments in the placement of your injections or how much Botox to inject.
