The main areas frequently targeted include the forehead and vertical furrows between the eyebrows (referred to as 11 lines), although you can also address lines formed by squinting around the nose,crow's feet, wrinkles along the neck, elevation of the eyebrows, and evenexcessive perspirationin the underarms.

Bruising, swelling, drooping of the brows and eyelid, headaches, temporary small bumps, and tenderness are what you may experience right after the treatment. Those side effects usually last for a day or two.

Please eat a healthy meal and drink lots of water to avoid nausea and lightheadedness. To avoid bruising, please do not consume any alcoholic beverages for 48 hours prior to your appointment. If you plan to work out, please work out and shower before your treatment. Please do not come in with any makeup on, and take an Arnica supplement to minimize swelling and bruising.

Avoid smoking as it slows the healing process. Stop drinking alcohol and wear sunscreen to protect your tender skin from UV light. Avoid lying down for 4 hours post-treatment. Makeup may be applied gently post-treatment if no complications occur. Avoid touching the area, strenuous exercise, and alcohol for 6 hours post-treatment.

Unfortunately, Botox is not permanent and is a temporary solution for dynamic wrinkles. Results typically last around three to four months, although some people can still see results for as long as six months. The length of time that Botox lasts depends on a few different factors. Each patient's metabolism and body chemistry can affect how long it takes the neurotoxin to wear off. The depth of the wrinkles or the extent of the treatment can also determine longevity.

In most cases, we recommend maintenance treatments once results begin to fade, which may be anywhere from three months to six months. With that said, most medical and cosmetic professionals agree that patients should wait for a minimum of 90 days between treatments. Treatment any closer together could cause resistance to Botox and make the neuromodulator less effective in the long run. Regular maintenance can help create a seamlessly smooth appearance.
