Botox & Dysport

at aphrodite laser skincare

What are Neurotoxins?

Neurotoxins include Botox Cosmetic®, Dysport®, Xeomin®, and Jeuveau® and are the most popular cosmetic procedure in the U.S. Botulinum type A injections help millions fight wrinkles & rejuvenate their appearance and are mainly used to smooth dynamic wrinkles, or those wrinkles that form as a result of facial movements like frowning, squinting, smiling, and other expressions we tend to make day after day. This FDA approved treatment works by blocking nerve impulses to the muscles, causing them to relax. As a result, your expressions soften and the dynamic wrinkles are greatly reduced.

The most commonly treated areas are those where muscle activity influences facial features, such as the following

  • Glabellar lines (a.k.a. “elevens” or frown lines)
  • Wrinkles around the eyes, such as crow’s feet
  • Forehead creases
  • Corners of the mouth
  • A “cobblestoned” appearance to the chin
  • Jawline slimming
  • TMJ Relief
  • Lip Flip/Gummy Smile Reduction
  • Hyperhydrosis or excessive underarm sweating

What to Expect


Pre-Treatment Consultation

During your consultation, your medical provider will evaluate your area of concern and go over your medical history. Even though there is little risk of major complications for most patients, it is still imperative that you share your medical history fully and openly with your provider before treatment, as certain allergies, skin and neurological conditions, or medications can make treatment unsuitable for a patient. For instance, you need to tell your cosmetic surgeon if you have been taking NSAIDs (e.g., aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen) or blood thinners.

Your Appointment

Just before the actual treatment, you may be given a topical anesthetic to numb the area prior to injection, though many patients find this unnecessary, as the needles used to inject botulinum toxins are very thin and the injections are not very deep. Your provider will reconstitute the botulinum toxin into a solution, and inject this solution into the muscle at strategic points. Most patients describe a pinching feeling during the injection, though not much pain.

You will be able to go back to your normal activities right after treatment, but your medical provider may ask you to take the day off from exercise or other strenuous activity, and to keep your head upright for the rest of the day. Mild redness, swelling at the injection site, and bruising are the most common side effects.

Following treatment, you will not see results immediately. This is expected, so do not worry that treatment hasn’t worked. Depending on the patient, product used, and area treated, final results are typically reached 3 to 7 days after initial treatments. If this is your first botulinum toxin treatment, your physician or nurse may initially inject a more conservative amount and touch up the results during a follow up treatment. This helps to ensure natural, optimal results without the risk of over-treating an area.

Aftercare

Generally, the results of a Botox treatment appear within seven to fourteen days after the procedure is done. Before and after the procedure, you should avoid consuming alcohol to prevent complications. Also, you shouldn’t take any anti-inflammatory medications at least two weeks before the procedure to prevent bruising. However, some temporary bruising and even headaches can be common side effects after a Botox treatment session.

FAQs


HOW DOES BOTOX® COSMETIC WORK?

BOTOX® Cosmetic targets one of the underlying causes of frown lines, crow’s feet and forehead lines — the repeated muscle contractions from frowning, squinting, smiling and raising the eyebrows over the years. Your specialist will inject these muscles with BOTOX® Cosmetic to temporarily reduce muscle activity. You will begin to notice your frown lines between your brows, your crow’s feet lines and your forehead lines temporarily look better.

HOW LONG DO RESULTS LAST?

The wrinkle-reducing effects from botulinum treatments will vary depending on the patient, the area treated, and the product used, but results will typically last anywhere from 3 to 6 months. To maintain your results, your medical provider will simply repeat treatment, adjusting dosage and techniques as necessary to ensure optimal results.

HOW LONG IS THE RECOVERY TIME AFTER TREATMENT?

Treatment requires minimal downtime. So you can return to your daily routine immediately after you leave your specialist’s office.

IS IT SAFE?

Yes, BOTOX® is Backed by over 16 years of published studies, BOTOX® Cosmetic is the most widely researched and studied treatment of its kind, approved for use in 95 countries. The safety and efficacy of BOTOX® Cosmetic have been described in more than 528 peer-reviewed articles in scientific and medical journals.
