What is Botox and how does it work?

Botox is a cosmetic injectable that contains a purified form of botulinum toxin. When administered by the experienced team at Glow Medical Aesthetics, it temporarily relaxes the muscles responsible for causing wrinkles and lines. This relaxation smooths out the skin’s surface, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

The team at Glow Medical Aesthetics also offers Dysport®, which works much in the same way as Botox.

What areas do you treat with Botox?

Botox effectively smooths forehead lines, frown lines (between the eyebrows), and crow’s feet (lines around the eyes). It can also be used for other facial and aesthetic purposes, including lip lines and a cobblestone chin.

How long do the effects of Botox typically last?

The effects of Botox are temporary and can last anywhere from 3-6 months. Individual results may vary, and follow-up treatments are necessary to maintain the desired appearance.

The team at Glow Medical Aesthetics can schedule future appointments to help you keep up with your new look.

What is the recovery time after a Botox treatment?

Botox treatments are minimally invasive, and there is typically no downtime. Some patients may experience mild redness or swelling at the injection site, but this usually resolves quickly. 

You can usually resume your regular activities right after the procedure.

Am I a good candidate for Botox?

Good candidates for Botox are generally healthy people seeking to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and lines. Set up a consultation at Glow Medical Aesthetics to determine if Botox is the right treatment for your specific concerns.

Botox may be combined with dermal fillers, which address static lines.

Do Botox injections hurt?

Your provider uses a very tiny needle to apply the injections. You will feel a slight prick, but the treatments are quick and tolerable. If you’re concerned about sensation, contact the office to discuss using ice or a topical numbing cream to ease sensation.
