About Botox Treatment

Botox is a purified protein that is injected directly into targeted muscles to temporarily reduce their activity. This relaxation helps smooth out fine lines and wrinkles, creating a more youthful appearance. The effects of Botox injections typically last between three to four months.

While the treated muscle is relaxed, it begins to “retrain” itself to contract less forcefully and less frequently. With consistent Botox treatments, muscles may remain relaxed for longer periods between sessions. However, the effects are not permanent. Ongoing Botox therapy is necessary to maintain reduced muscle activity and the cosmetic benefits that come with it.

​

The most common side effect after Botox treatment is mild bruising at the injection sites. For this reason, we recommend avoiding important social or professional engagements for at least one week following your appointment.

​

Because Botox is a liquid, it can potentially migrate to nearby muscles if not properly cared for. To minimize this risk, do not touch, press, or rub your face for 48 hours after treatment. Additionally, avoid sun exposure for at least two days post-procedure to reduce inflammation and protect your skin.

As with any injection, there is a small risk of infection. To help prevent this, please arrive at your Botox appointment with a clean face and no makeup. We will also cleanse your skin thoroughly before treatment. After your session, it's important to use only fresh, clean makeup for the following week—avoid applying old or previously used products over the treated areas to reduce the risk of irritation or infection.
