What is Botox?
Botox Cosmetic is a purified form of botulinum toxin type A that temporarily blocks nerve signals to targeted muscles. Relaxing these muscles reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles caused by repetitive facial expressions. It is commonly used to treat crow’s feet, forehead lines, frown lines between the brows, and other areas prone to dynamic wrinkles. Botox also has preventive benefits, helping to slow the formation of deeper wrinkles over time.
Candidates for Botox
Botox is ideal for adults looking to minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles or prevent future signs of aging. Suitable candidates include individuals with moderate to severe dynamic wrinkles and those seeking a non-invasive facial rejuvenation treatment. Botox is safe for all skin types and tones. A consultation with Dr. Daraei will help determine if Botox aligns with your aesthetic goals.
Botox Procedure
The Botox procedure is an in-office treatment that typically takes 10 to 20 minutes to complete. A fine needle is used to inject small amounts of Botox into the targeted facial muscles. Most patients experience little to no discomfort, though a topical numbing cream can be applied if needed. After treatment you can resume your day as normal.
Botox Recovery
Botox requires little to no downtime, allowing patients to return to their daily activities immediately after treatment. Some mild redness, swelling, or bruising may occur at the injection sites but typically resolve within a few hours to days. To optimize results, patients should avoid touching the treated areas, lying down for a few hours post-treatment, and strenuous exercise for 24 hours.
Botox Results
Botox delivers noticeable improvements in fine lines and wrinkles within three to five days, with full effects appearing within two weeks. The results look natural, preserving facial expressions while reducing unwanted lines. Botox results typically last three to four months, and regular treatments help maintain a smooth and youthful appearance over time.
