The treatment
Having Botox is a relatively quick and easy procedure, in fact, it usually only takes about 10 minutes to complete. Your dermatologist may administer a topical numbing agent before the injection to help keep you comfortable. After your treatment, you can return to normal activities.
The results
One of the reasons Botox is so popular, is because people can see results relatively quickly. Most patients start to see a difference within improvement within four to seven days, with results continuing to show improvement for up to a month.
However, Botox is not a permanent solution and patients will need to be prepared to continue having the treatment performed to maintain your results. One treatment can last for about four months, meaning you may need multiple injections per year to keep your skin wrinkle-free. Your dermatologist can discuss what you can expect from your treatment in more detail with you.
The patients
Though many people are familiar with Botox, it isn’t the right treatment option for everyone. Those who have fine lines and wrinkles on their forehead, around their eyes, mouth may find it helpful. But, Botox may not be a great option for those with deep wrinkles. It is also not recommended for those with neuromuscular disorders or infections in the area that is to be treated. You should consult a trained dermatologist for help deciding if Botox is a good solution for you. If not, they can help you find another solution for your skin concerns.
