What is Botox?
Botox injections are made up of botulinum toxin that, when injected into the facial muscles, temporarily stops them from contracting, allowing lines and wrinkles to smooth out and leaving you with a younger-looking appearance.
More specifically, the Botox injections temporarily block the nerve signals from the brain to the muscles and this stops the muscles from contracting.
Patient Testimonial
Incisionless Otoplasty, Xeomin
Dr. H is an exceptional physician! I visited her for Xeomin injections and a consultation for Otoplasty (ear pinning surgery). She was professional, warm, and attentive, answering all my questions and ensuring I felt at ease. I wanted a “frozen but natural” look, and she guided me through my concerns without any pressure. The injections were quick and painless, and the results were exactly what I hoped for. As for the Otoplasty, I had avoided it my entire life (I’m 39) because surgery felt too invasive. Dr. H introduced me to an incision-less option, and I immediately signed up. The procedure was done in the clinic with only a numbing injection—I felt nothing! I couldn’t be happier with the results and am so grateful to have found such a skilled and compassionate surgeon.
What Are the Benefits of Botox?
Botox comes with a variety of benefits. Because it’s a minimally invasive procedure, you never have to worry about incisions or scarring. Also, preventing wrinkles from forming with Botox means surgery can be postponed or avoided entirely. On top of that, treatment could not be quicker. Treatment shouldn’t take more than 30 minutes at most. Botox has also been through multiple clinical trials, showing just how safe it is.
The results also last for 3-4 months, allowing you to enjoy a more youthful-looking appearance for a significant period of time.
The Botox Process
Botox injections are an incredibly straightforward process. We’ll start by cleansing the area and then Dr. Hassanzadeh will start your injections. She’ll use a thin needle to inject small amounts of the botulinum toxin into the facial muscles. We can offer you anesthetic to numb the area, but most patients tolerate treatment very well. Treatment can take 15-30 minutes.
How many injections you need will depend on the results you’re looking for and the area being treated.
Botox Recovery
There is little to no downtime after Botox treatment. You’ll want to avoid rubbing or massaging the treated areas for 24 hours. You’ll also want to avoid putting pressure or lying down on the treatment area for 2-4 hours. You will need to avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours. Other than that, you can return to most of your normal everyday activities.
As for results, you will start to see improvements in 1-3 days, with full results appearing after two weeks. Results will last for about 3 months, with retreatment needed every few months to maintain your results.
Who is a Candidate?
Ideal candidates for Botox include those who are in generally good health with realistic expectations, nonsmokers, and those struggling with lines and wrinkles. Anyone looking to achieve a more youthful appearance is likely a good candidate for Botox injections.
