What is Botox ?
Botulinum toxin is a purified protein produced by the bacterium “clostridium botulinum”, that can block certain chemical signals from nerves that cause muscles to contract.
Healthcare providers inject small amounts of Botox into specific muscles to smooth wrinkles, prevent migraine headaches and treat a wide range of other health conditions.
The most common use of these injections is relaxing the facial muscles that cause frown lines and other facial wrinkles, jaw shaping and muscle reduction.
How does Botox Injection take effects?
Repeated muscle contractions from frowning, squinting, or raising eyebrows cause skin to furrow and fold, gradually resulting in the formation of facial lines. Botox prevents the release of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine from axon endings at the neuromuscular junction, thus causing flaccid paralysis. As a result, injected muscles cannot contract (tense up). These effects are always temporary, but can last for several months. The muscle injected depends on the primary area of concern. Several areas can be treated in one session.

How to Prepare
Which type of botulinum injection is right for you depends on your needs and condition. Talk with our aesthetic doctor about the treatment best suited to you.
Be sure to tell us if you have had any type of Botox injection within the past four months. Let us have the list of the medications and supplements you take. Certain medications increase the risk of bruising at the injection site. These include anticoagulants or blood thinners (Warfarin®) and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Alcohol also makes you more prone to redness and bruising. Don’t drink for 24 hours before a procedure.
What should you expect during Botox treatment?
Our aesthetic doctor uses a fine needle to inject small amounts of Botox into the treatment area. Depending on the issue, you may receive several injections in different spots. Here’s what else you need to know about Botox therapy:
- Botox is an outpatient procedure. You will be able to go home the same day.
- Discomfort is usually mild. The injections may sting and feel uncomfortable, but the procedure is over quickly.
- After Botox treatment, most people notice the desired effects around the third or fourth day. Full results will be visible within 10 to 14 days.
- The effects of Botox last about three to four months. Retreatment is recommended at this time. Eventually, however, your muscles may train themselves to contract less. As a result, treatments can be spaced out over longer periods of time. Our aesthetic doctor can let you know how often you should get Botox based on your unique needs.
