Understanding Botox
Botox is a neurotoxin — an FDA-approved injectable that relaxes the muscles that cause facial wrinkles. It can soften fine lines and wrinkles while helping prevent new ones. With a 20-plus year history as the world's most popular aesthetic injectable, Botox is widely regarded as a top-tier treatment among patients who want to fight and delay facial aging.
Common Botox Treatment Areas
Botox is a highly versatile treatment that targets various aesthetic concerns, providing smooth and youthful results with minimal downtime. Some of the most common areas where Botox can help:
- Frown Lines: Botox helps smooth the "11s", aka frown lines, between your eyebrows. This reduces the appearance of furrows and gives you a more relaxed, youthful expression.
- Forehead Lines: Botox is excellent for addressing horizontal forehead lines, whether just creeping in or already set in. It gives you a smooth and refreshed look.
- Crow's Feet: The area around your eyes can develop lines called crow's feet due to years of smiling, squinting, and sun exposure. Botox helps reduce these lines for a more youthful appearance.
- Gummy Smiles: Some people show excessive gum tissue (a "gummy smile") when they grin. Botox can relax the muscles around the mouth, causing your lips to rise less when you smile and reducing the visibility of your gums.
- Lip Flip: Botox can also create a natural, subtle lift of the top lip, making your lips appear subtly fuller and more defined without the need for fillers.
- Jelly Rolls: Botox can smooth out "jelly rolls," the under-eye area that can look overly puffy. It relaxes this area and diminishes small lines to help make your eyes look larger when you smile.
- Neckbands: Botox can relax the muscles underneath the platysmal bands (the vertical lines that can appear at the front of the neck as you age.) This can give your neck a more youthful and toned look.
Botox is also used in other parts of the body. For example, it's a treatment for chronic migraines, TMJ, and excessive sweating.
The Botox Experience
Botox treatment usually takes five minutes in our MD Optimal Health & Aesthetics office. Before your treatment, we explain everything you need to know to ensure you're comfortable with proceeding.
Most patients say that Botox is virtually painless. The needle is ultra-thin so that patients may feel a short-lived sting. Any brief discomfort fades almost immediately. Most patients don't bruise, but some minor pinpoint bruises are possible. These generally fade in a few days.
Botox Results Timeline
Botox results may start to appear in just 24-48 hours. Results improve steadily, and you get the full outcome one month post-treatment. Most patients notice a dramatic wrinkle reduction in only a week or less. Results can last several months.
