How to begin with Botox treatment

To discuss your cosmetic goals, call us and we will make arrangements to meet with you. Bring information about your medical history including any past surgeries, and any current medications (including nutritional or herbal supplements).

A doctor will examine your skin. To determine if treatment is required, you will be assessed for your skin texture, elasticity and wrinkles. A small amount of the treatment solution will be applied to your arm. This will make sure that you don’t experience allergic reactions either during or after treatment.

What happens prior to treatment?

If you and your doctor agree to treatment, you will be asked to prepare for your next appointment.

7 days before treatment

You will need to stop taking over-the-counter blood thinners such as Motrin, Aspirin, and Ibuprofen before you can start treatment. Avoid herbal supplements such as garlic, vitamin E, or Ginkgo Biloba. After completing your treatment, avoid taking any medication or supplements that may cause bruising.

3 days before treatment

You will be able to stop using skin products like Retinols or Retinoids as you approach your treatment date. Avoid waxing, bleaching or tweezing any treatment area.

You should avoid alcohol for 24 hours prior to and after treatment in order to minimize any bruising. Additional bruising can be caused by alcohol, which thins the blood.

Day of Treatment

Wash your face before you go to work. If you wish, you can bring your makeup with you to the treatment. Before treatment, a topical anesthetic might be applied. Local anesthetics may be used in certain cases.

This is to make sure you are comfortable throughout your treatment. Your provider may massage the areas that you have corrected to ensure the treatment runs smoothly. Some people may experience temporary redness from massaging.

How long does Botox take?

It works as a neuromodulator, relaxing muscles and preventing them from reaching their full potential. It can take up 14 days for the full effects to become apparent.

This is because Botox takes a while to work in the body. We encourage patients to return within two weeks to monitor their progress.

Other personal considerations

The effectiveness of treatment can also be affected by other factors. It may take longer for treatment to kick in if you have strong facial muscles. If you’re one of these people, don’t feel discouraged. Botox can be used for wrinkle reduction and skin rejuvenation.

If you have deeper lines or received your first injection too late in life, multiple injections may be required to get the desired results. We offer many treatments, including dermal fillers.

It is crucial to schedule your consultation at the least two weeks prior to your first treatment. This will ensure that you receive the best results.

Treatment of fine lines and wrinkles will generally take place faster. You will see results quicker if you treat the crows’ feet near your eyes than if it is treated for deep forehead lines.

How long does treatment take?

Botox’s effects are dependent on how Botox is reacted to by the body. Botox will be different for each person. Botox will last for longer if your skin has had time to heal collagen.

Cosmetics can have lasting effects up to six months. The effects of cosmetic surgery may be less noticeable if you’re a first-time user. Patients prefer to schedule follow up treatments between two and three months after their initial treatment.

Factors that Influence How Long Treatments Last

Botox effects may take time to show. It can vary from one person to another. Botox can have many effects.

Dosage diluting

Botox is mixed with 1 to 3 ccs saline solution. The area being treated will determine the amount of Botox that you need. Concentrated solutions are more effective in certain areas. Concentrated liquids work better in specific areas. They can also diffuse to other areas that may be affected by the treatment.

Some clinics aren’t reliable and don’t offer the best care. Patients might not get the full benefits. It is better to choose a skilled provider than to go to a Botox party or beauty salon for unqualified services.

Freshness is vital

Botox can be purchased in both powdered or frozen form. Before injecting, you should add a saline solution to achieve the desired strength. To make the solution most potent, mix it within 24 hours. You can keep one vial of Botox open for up two weeks.

We are a reliable provider who opens botox vials every day to make sure you have the latest product.

Your metabolism

How long you can keep your treatment going is dependent on how fast you metabolism. Botox’s effects are lessened if your metabolism is faster. People with slower metabolisms experience opposite effects.

Understanding the health effects that high metabolism has on your body is crucial, regardless of whether you are an athlete or a semi-professional.

The Injection Site

The size of the treated muscle is another factor that may affect the duration of your treatment. The treatment of larger muscles (e.g. the frontalis muscle at the forehead) is more effective than those of smaller muscles like the ones responsible for crow’s feet.

Treatments for the frontalis muscles typically last three months. Treatments for the eyes, on the other hand can take as long as four weeks.

Dosage

The dose will be lower the faster the injection site moves. Botox should not be given to too many people at once. Botox should be administered in a conservative dose until both the patient’s and the provider feel satisfied with its effects. Higher doses of Botox and longer lasting effects make patients feel more comfortable.

Patient Age

As we age, our skin’s elasticity decreases and our ability to make collagen decreases. This is just one side effect to aging. This can cause deep wrinkles and defined lines. Botox may not prove as effective in these cases.

How can you make the effects last longer?

Although treatment effects can vary between people, some claim they have prolonged the effects.

Zinc Supplements

Botox, a botulinum txin, is zinc-dependent. Botox can be extended by taking Zytase a few days before treatment.

Do not exercise immediately after treatment.

You should not immediately return to exercising after treatment. The metabolism can increase after exercising and flush out the treatment solutions. To do any exercise, it is best to wait 24 hours following treatment.
