Botox Treatment Process

If you are thinking of removing or reducing your wrinkles and frown lines, you may have heard of the latest treatment called Botox. Botox treatment process is simple, quick and efficient since it is a non-surgical treatment of age lines.

Botox treatment process is quite brief, and as mentioned it is efficient and simple to the point that you can go back to your normal daily routine after a treatment and a few hours of rest.

Botox Cosmetic is the only FDA-approved botulinum toxin-A which can be used to treat wrinkles and frown lines. The toxin is minute in dose which makes it safe for patients but potent for temporarily immobilizing the facial muscles to reduce and prevent more wrinkles from developing.

The Botox Treatment Process

After setting the date with your cosmetic surgeon, you will only need a very brief visit to his/her clinic in order for him/her to administer Botox Cosmetic.

The following are the easy steps that you will undergo once you are in the doctor's clinic:

  • The doctor may or may not use anesthesia. An alternate numbing agent may be used before the treatment such as rubbing ice on your face of a topical solution.
  • The doctor will then determine where the Botox injections will be administered. This includes marking of the area, size and the specific muscles that create the wrinkles and frown lines.
  • Botox Cosmetic will be injected on the determined areas where the facial muscles contract the most. Botox injections usually take only 10 minutes to finish. Brief injections under the skin will be done and pain is usually minimal to none.
  • After Botox injections, you may go home and rest without lying down during the first 2 to 4 hours. You may experience some side effects such as flu-like symptoms, headache, drooping of the eyelids/eyebrow and bruising; but these will fade eventually in a matter of days.

You may see the results of your Botox injections in a matter of days and it may continue for a few weeks.

Botox treatment process is safe and effective. It may last from 3 to 6 months, and you may opt to re-inject Botox Cosmetic once the wrinkles start to re-appear.
