Botox

What is Botox commonly used for?

Botox is commonly used to reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles, frown lines, crow's feet, and other signs of aging. It's also used to treat other medical conditions such as excessive sweating and migraines.

How does it work?

Botox temporarily paralyzes the muscles responsible for wrinkles and fine lines. It prevents nerve signals from reaching the muscles, causing them to relax.

How is the procedure performed?

The procedure is performed by injecting a small amount of Botox into the muscles that cause wrinkles and fine lines. The injections are usually done in the doctor's office and take about 10-15 minutes.

How do we prepare for the procedure?

Before the procedure, you should avoid alcohol and certain medications that can thin the blood. You should also let your doctor know if you have any allergies or medical conditions that may affect the procedure.

How long does a Botox injection last?

The effects of a Botox injection typically last 3-6 months. After that, you may need to have additional injections to maintain the results.

What are the side effects of Botox?

Some common side effects of Botox include bruising, redness, and swelling at the injection site. Other side effects may include headache, flu-like symptoms, and nausea. Rarely, more serious side effects may occur, such as difficulty breathing, vision problems, or muscle weakness.

​​​​​​​Who should not receive Botox injection?

Botox should not be used in people who are allergic to any of the ingredients in the injection. It should also be avoided by people who have certain medical conditions, such as myasthenia gravis or Lambert-Eaton syndrome. Botox injections should also be avoided by pregnant or breastfeeding women.
