Frequently Asked Questions

How Does BOTOX Work?

BOTOX works by relaxing the muscles beneath your wrinkles. It reduces muscle movement to keep lines and wrinkles away, but you can still move your face and will look completely natural. In the underarms, BOTOX works by temporarily switching off your sweat glands in that area.

What are the BOTOX Treatment Areas?

BOTOX can treat many different areas for exceptional results:

  • Frown lines: smooths the lines between brows
  • Crow’s feet: reduces lines at eye corners
  • Forehead lines: smooths long lines across the forehead
  • Eyebrow lift: subtle eyebrow elevation
  • Nefertiti lift: neck and jawline tightening
  • Smile enhancement: reduces a gummy smile
  • Necklines: cords around the neck
  • Mouth: corners of the mouth to lift drooping

In addition to all of the aesthetic uses, BOTOX can be very helpful in hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) and migraine headache treatment.

Am I a Good Candidate for BOTOX?

If you have fine lines and wrinkles and want to reclaim your youthful appearance without invasive procedures or surgery, you’re probably a great BOTOX candidate.

What Does BOTOX Treatment Feel Like?

BOTOX is injected with a very fine needle and is well-tolerated by almost everyone. The treatment takes 10-20 minutes, and you’re back to your normal routine immediately.

What is the Onset Time for BOTOX?

BOTOX usually takes effect in three days to a week. It takes effect in some areas faster. For example, the International Hyperhidrosis Society says that BOTOX can take effect in the underarm area in as little as two days when injected for excessive sweating.

How Long Does BOTOX Prevent Wrinkles?

BOTOX prevents wrinkles for three to six months. In the underarms, BOTOX lasts anywhere from four months to a year, possibly longer.

Are There Any Side-Effects After BOTOX Treatment?

As with all injections, there’s a risk of mild swelling and bruising. However, it typically recedes after a couple of days. We use AccuVein®, a state-of-the-art reader that reveals all facial blood vessels, to avoid bruising.

To diminish swelling, we recommend ice packs. You can also take arnica, a natural bruise reducer. Avoid nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, fish oil, vitamin E, and ginkgo biloba for one week prior to, and one week after, your BOTOX treatment.

Xeomin

Frown lines form when facial expressions are made as the muscle under the skin contracts. Over time, as your skin ages, these repeated expressions cause lasting frown lines. Neurotoxins, such as Xeomin®, are prescription medications that block the release of chemicals that cause these muscle contractions so frown lines are softened.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Does Xeomin® Work?

When you squint or frown, the muscles between your eyebrows contract, causing the skin to furrow and fold. Over time, as your skin ages and loses some of its elasticity, these repeated contractions can cause persistent frown lines. Botulinum toxin type A – the active ingredient in Xeomin®– acts on nerve endings in muscles to prevent muscle fibers from contracting. By reducing these contractions, Xeomin® can temporarily reduce the lines between your eyebrows.

How Do I Know if Xeomin® is Right for Me?

If you are an adult with moderate to severe glabellar lines, Xeomin® may be right for you. Talk to your doctor to discuss the benefits and risks of treatment.

When Can I Expect to See Results?

You may begin to see visible smoothing as early as 3-4 days after injection. The median first onset of effect was less than a week. The maximum effect occurred at 30 days.
