Botox injections have become one of the most prominent beauty treatments and while you may have known that the treatment can erase wrinkles, marionette lines and fine lines, botox injections have many other advantages including:
- Your skin will have an even tone while looking natural
- Delays signs of aging
- Reduced instances of chronic headaches and migraines due to the soft release of the facial muscles
- Decreased muscle spasms and reduced effects of Bell’s Palsy
Botox provides a buffer to neurotransmitters within the injected muscles, lessening the signal to contract. This releases wrinkles and folds around the injection sites. Botox injections will take anywhere from 20 to 30 minutes per session depending on how many areas you would like to work on. While Botox injections are a quick and minimally-invasive procedure, final results will not be visible instantly. The full effects of Botox can take 2-14 days to fully develop and can last up to 6 months. Patients may resume all normal activities immediately after treatment. Common side effects, as with all injectable products, include swelling, bruising, bleeding, and itching at the injection site. Most side effects resolve themselves naturally within 24 hours.
