BOTOX® is the brand name of a popular injectable medication that people know and trust. Botox belongs to a class of medications called neuromodulators. (Other neuromodulators include Xeomin®, Dysport®, and Jeuveau®.) Injection of these medications into specific muscles of the face and neck relaxes the muscles and temporarily prevents them from contracting, decreasing the formation of fine lines and wrinkles.

Although you will start to notice results within a few days, it takes about two weeks for the full effect to settle in. Results tend to last 3-4 months. The effects of Botox wear off naturally, and although fine lines and wrinkles will begin to return as the effects of the medication dissipate, many clients report that their wrinkles are less pronounced when they do return. To maintain long-lasting results, Botox treatment should be repeated every three to four months.
We want your Botox treatment to be a success. We will review with you detailed aftercare instructions. You can also call us anytime if you have any questions. After a treatment session, avoid bending over or lying down for at least six hours. This prevents the Botox injection from migrating around the treatment area.
After you receive Botox, be sure to tell any dentist or doctor about it in future medical appointments. Also, if you visit an emergency room, please inform the providers there that you’ve had a Botox treatment.
