                                          Botox Administration

Since April of 2002, when it gained FDA approval, Botox has fast become recognized for the many benefits it offers its users. This therapeutic muscle –relaxing agent is now recognized as a safe and effective way to treat wrinkles with no long term effects.

What Is Botox?

Botox is a purified protein toxin, which is cosmetically used to help soften fine lines and wrinkles in the face. It is derived from the Botulism toxin and manufactured in very minute amounts for cosmetic purposes.

How Does Botox Work?

Botox is injected into a muscle which blocks the nerve impulse that prevents contraction of the muscle. The muscle weakens, and eventually the wrinkles in the skin gradually soften and often disappear.

How Safe Is Botox?

Botox has been used safely in ophthalmology for over ten years and for wrinkle therapy for over six years. Any possible side effects are temporary.

What Are Possible Side Effects?

Some possible side affects are mild bruising and drooping. A bruise would last a few days and a droop can last one to two weeks. These side effects are not common and are temporary. 

How Long Does Botox Last?

Botox can last 4 – 5 months depending on how fast your body metabolizes it.  The effect of Botox can be seen in 3 – 5 days and at the most 14 days. If no effect is seen after 14 days, a touch up will be required.

What Aftercare Instructions Are Necessary?

·         No laying flat for 4 to 6 hrs.

·         No vigorous exercise for 24 hrs.

·         No rubbing of the site, however facial exercises are encouraged.
