What is Botox?
Botox is made from a protein produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum called botulinum toxin. This protein can be injected into the skin to relax the muscles, temporarily reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Botox is commonly used to treat crow’s feet, forehead lines, frown lines, and furrows between the brows. The injections can be safely administered through a quick, in-office procedure and require no downtime, meaning you can resume your daily activities right away.
The results of Botox typically last around three months. The effects are usually visible about two to five days after treatment, with full results around 10 to 14 days after treatment.
With regular maintenance, the results of Botox can last longer. If you like the way you look after your Botox treatment, you can schedule regular retreatments to keep your skin looking brighter and smoother.
Without maintenance, your skin will return to looking the way it was before the procedure, as it is a temporary treatment. Because each person’s needs are different, Revive Medspa prices Botox by the unit, so the cost of your treatment can vary depending on the areas being treated and your appearance goals.
How Does Botox Work?
When Botox is injected into the muscle, it blocks nerve signals to that area, causing them to relax. This softens the skin and reduces the appearance of wrinkles. Botox has both cosmetic and medical applications:
Cosmetic
Cosmetic Botox is used to minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in the face and neck caused by the natural aging process. If you laugh, frown, or furrow your brow a lot, Botox can help reduce the impact of lines from these facial expressions.
When you receive Botox from our expert practitioners at Revive Medspa, they’ll ensure that you still look like you but with a younger, fresher glow. Common treatment areas include the forehead, nose, eyes, chin, eyebrows, jawline, lips, and neck.
Medical
The medical applications of Botox are widespread and effective. It can be used for pain management or to treat conditions like TMJ, excessive sweating, migraines, and muscle spasms.
Who is a Good Candidate for Botox?
Botox injections can give your skin the youthful, rejuvenated look you want, but not everyone is a good candidate for the treatment. You may be a good candidate for Botox if:
- You are at least 18 years old
- You are not pregnant or nursing
- You are in good overall health
- You want to reduce the appearance of crow’s feet, frown lines, and furrows between your brow
- You want an easy, non-invasive treatment to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- You have realistic expectations about what Botox can do for your appearance
Certain preexisting medical conditions or using certain medications can disqualify you from Botox candidacy. To learn more about whether you might be a good candidate for Botox, schedule a consultation with one of our practitioners at Revive Medspa to find out how it could help you feel comfortable and confident with your appearance.
What to Expect During Your Botox Treatment
Before your Botox treatment at Revive Medspa, you will undergo a consultation with one of our expert practitioners. They will determine your candidacy for the procedure, discuss your appearance goals, and answer any questions you might have about the process.
On the day of your Botox procedure, your practitioner will begin by cleansing the area of treatment. Then, they will use a needle to carefully inject Botox into the area.
You may experience some slight discomfort, but it will quickly pass as the procedure takes only about 10-15 minutes. You will be able to resume most activities immediately after treatment.
Mild swelling and bruising may occur at the site of injection. To reduce these effects, you should avoid strenuous activity for 24 hours.
Don’t lie down for three to four hours after treatment, and don’t put pressure on the treatment area for at least 12 hours after the procedure. Once you’ve had Botox, you can reveal your refreshed appearance to the world and feel better inside and out.
How Long Does Botox Last?
You will likely begin to see your desired results within two to five days after treatment, with the best results appearing around 10 to 14 days. The effects of Botox generally last around three months.
To maintain your desired appearance, you may need retreatment after that time. However, the frequency of injections needed varies from patient to patient, so your practitioner at Revive Medspa will create a treatment plan tailored to your needs to determine the best treatment schedule for you.
Your metabolism, age, and muscle strength can influence how long your Botox results will last, as well as your provider’s dosage and injection technique. At Revive Medspa, our highly trained providers prioritize attention to detail, precision, safety, and patient experience during Botox treatments.
With regular maintenance, many patients who get Botox are able to significantly reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. You’ll look and feel like your best self thanks to the fantastic effects of Botox.
To enhance your results even more, you can ask your provider about combining your Botox treatment with facial fillers like Juvederm, BELOTERO BALANCE, and RADIESSE. They can help achieve a more youthful appearance by adding volume and plumpness to the lips and cheeks for a soft, revitalized look.
