What is Botox?
Botox® Cosmetic is made using a purified toxin called botulinum toxin type A. This neurotoxin targets muscles and prevents muscle contractions that lead to dynamic wrinkles, such as frown lines, crow’s feet and vertical “11s” between the eyebrows. Botox can smooth wrinkles around the forehead, eyes, nose and mouth and is used for the Botox “lip flip” to make the upper lip appear larger.
Botox relaxes the muscles underneath the skin responsible for specific lines and wrinkles and blocks nerve impulses for several months. Patients enjoy a relaxed and youthful appearance after Botox treatments.
Once injected, it takes three to four days for Botox results to appear as the muscles relax and smooth the overlying skin. Patients enjoy a relaxed and youthful appearance for three to four months and require regular Botox treatments to maintain their results.
Botox has many medical and cosmetic uses. The injectable has been used to treat migraine headaches, excessive sweating and joint pain but is most famous for its anti-aging results.
Botox Recovery
Swelling in the areas where Botox was injected will resolve in few hours. Mild redness will resolve over 24 hours.
Bruising can happen and it may take 10 -14 days to resolve. However, you can apply foundation to conceal the bruising.
In Addition, pain is usually minimal and most patient will not need to take any painkillers after the procedure.
Combining Botox and Dermal Fillers
Botox addresses wrinkles caused by repeated facial expressions such as frowning, smiling, squinting and laughing. However, this injectable can’t improve volume loss and may not address static wrinkles that form when the skin loses elasticity. Our plastic surgeon may recommend combining Botox treatment with a dermal filler, such as Juvéderm, Sculptra or Restylane.
Juvéderm and Restylane are hyaluronic acid injectables that restore a supple skin appearance. Hyaluronic acid is found naturally in younger skin tissues and binds to moisture, but production slows down with age, along with collagen and elastin. Juvéderm and Restylane fill in depressed areas for smoother skin with youthful volume. These injectables provide immediate results that may last up to a year or longer, depending on the treated area.
Sculptra is a long-lasting dermal filler that stimulates the body’s collagen production to fill the treated area over time. Sculptra results show up gradually as the body creates new collagen and can last two to five years with good skincare and maintenance.
