What is Botox?
Botox refers to a cosmetic injectable beauty treatment derived from the botulinum toxin. Botox has been safely and successfully used to treat medical conditions like chronic migraines and muscle spasms. Botox can also smooth away unwanted wrinkles and fine lines to give you firmer and more youthful-looking skin.
When your care specialist carefully injects Botox into certain facial muscles, it blocks the nerve signals that trigger your muscle contractions. When your muscles temporarily relax, the wrinkles created by those muscles are drastically diminished or even eliminated.
What cosmetic concerns can be treated with Botox?
Our health and beauty oasis clinic provides Botox to effectively treat some of the most noticeable and deeper facial wrinkles, including the:
- Frown lines
- Forehead furrows
- Crow’s feet
Your specialist precisely targets a few key facial muscles to minimize the appearance of wrinkles, while leaving your surrounding facial muscles unaffected. This is how you can obtain such natural-looking results following your Botox treatment.
Most people are suitable candidates for Botox injections. If you’re pregnant or if you have certain neurological diseases, you shouldn’t receive Botox injections.
What should I expect during a Botox treatment?
During your personal consultation, your care specialist reviews your medical history to make sure you don’t have any health problems that could lead to complications during or after Botox.
Your care specialist uses an ultra-fine needle to inject a minor amount of Botox. Depending on the area being treated and your personal preferences, your specialist typically administers about 4-10 injections.
Following your Botox treatment, you might experience some mild redness or swell in the treatment area, but you can cover it up with make-up and it should soon subside. There’s no downtime and right after Botox, you can get back to your day.
When can I expect results and how long will they last?
In as little as 24-48 hours, you can expect to notice results from your Botox injections. This is generally the amount of time it takes for Botox to completely relax your facial muscles. In some cases, it can take up to seven days for you to see the full results.
Botox results can last up to four months or longer. Over time, the effect wears off as your body metabolizes the medication.
When your results fade, you can always receive another Botox treatment to maintain your firmer, smoother complexion and more youthful-looking skin.
