What is Botox?

Botox and other cosmetic injectables such as Xeomin and Dysport, consist of botulinum, a type of neurotoxin that paralyzes facial muscles associated with wrinkles and lines. This lessens facial muscle activity, which causes improvements in forehead creases, frown lines, lines near your mouth, a cobblestone chin, and crow’s-feet lies. Botox injection treatments are painless and fast but can produce younger-looking, dramatic, and effective results without surgery or downtime.

Is Botox Right For You?

Botox treatment has been proven to be effective in getting rid of facial wrinkles for years. Anyone who is 18 years and above is eligible to get Botox injections. Even if you are younger and don’t have many wrinkles, early Botox injection helps delay the development of wrinkles. To determine if Botox is right for you, Dr. Towhidian and his team will review your medical history and look at your skin. The doctor might recommend pairing it with other cosmetic procedures, such as dermal fillers, for the best outcome.

What Should You Expect During Botox Treatment?

The Botox injection procedure takes about twenty minutes or less. The doctor will clean your face thoroughly and trace the relevant muscles at which to make the injections. The procedure is quite tolerable for most people as you only feel pinches as the fine needle injects Botox into the vital facial areas. If you are worried about discomfort, the doctor can use a topical numbing cream before the injections. He will then inject botulinum toxin beneath your skin in targeted areas. Botox treatment at Total Cosmetix is done by experienced specialists giving you the perfect and impressive results. You may notice swelling or redness at the injection site after your Botox treatment, but these symptoms will soon diminish. After the procedure, you can return to your daily activities straight away.

How Long Does Botox Remain Efficient?

You should notice Botox results within three to six days, and are effective for four to six months, wavering in different patients. This means you can receive the Botox injection every four to six months to remain with smooth and vibrant skin, free from wrinkles. Pairing Botox with other cosmetic procedures such as dermal fillers can improve your results and facial symmetry.
