Botox® is a purified form of the botulinum toxin. When administered in small, diluted amounts by a trained professional, it temporarily relaxes muscle activity.
Botox® works by blocking nerve signals to the muscles and preventing them from contracting. As a result, wrinkles and fine lines disappear and you get more youthful-looking skin.
The effects of Botox® tend to last between three to six months. However, individual results vary based on your metabolism, the area treated, and the dosage administered. We recommend you get consistent treatment in small doses for longer-lasting results.
Yes, when administered by our skilled professionals, Botox® is considered safe. It’s been approved by the FDA for various cosmetic and medical purposes.
Like any medical procedure, Botox® carries some risks, including temporary bruising, swelling, or muscle weakness at the injection site. Therefore, please remember to disclose your medical history and any concerns with us before undergoing treatment.
Botox® injections may cause minor discomfort, often described as a brief pinprick or sting. However, the discomfort is typically brief and well-tolerated by most patients. If you feel uncomfortable at any point, please let us know and we’ll adjust the treatment.
