Everything you need to know about your upcoming Botox treatment
Are you tired of looking tired? Do you find that in the last few years, more wrinkles and folds have developed on the face? If you are ready to look youthful and refreshed, one of our licensed injectors at White Pearl Medical Spa might recommend cosmetic injections such as Botox. Let’s look at a few frequently asked questions about Botox anti-wrinkle injections at White Pearl Medical Spa of Des Plaines, Northwest Suburbs, Illinois.
What is Botox?
Botox, a brand name for a botulinum toxin injection, is a popular and widely used cosmetic treatment for reducing wrinkles and fine lines that develop on the face as part of aging. It works by temporarily paralyzing the muscles that cause the wrinkles, resulting in smoother and younger-looking skin.
How long does Botox last?
The effects of cosmetic Botox injections typically last anywhere from three to six months. However, this might vary depending on age, metabolism, lifestyle habits, and even the amount of Botox injected. Some of our patients might experience longer-lasting results with regular treatments.
Is Botox a safe treatment?
Botox injections are generally considered safe when administered by a licensed Injector. At White Pearl Medical Spa, our skilled medical team will discuss any medical procedure’s potential risks, complications, and side effects with you. This ensures that you are fully aware of the pros and cons of this specific cosmetic injectable and all it has to offer!
What can I expect when I arrive at White Pearl Medical Spa for my treatment?
When you visit White Pearl Medical Spa, the first step is to consult with one of our licensed injectors. This is important in determining if Botox injections are right for you and your desired results. If you are not a candidate, alternative injections or treatments might be discussed so you have more options.
During this consultation appointment, you will discuss your entire medical history, any medications you are currently taking, and your expectations for the treatment. It’s important to be honest and open during this process so that our team can create a customized treatment plan that specifically meets your needs.
The treatment will begin once it is complete and it is determined that Botox injections suit you. Before the treatment, the technician thoroughly cleans the area and applies numbing cream to minimize discomfort during the injections. A licensed injector will then use a very fine needle to inject very small amounts of Botox into specific muscles in your face.
After the treatment, you might notice mild swelling and some redness at the injection sites. This is a normal occurrence and usually resolves within a few hours. You must avoid touching or rubbing the treated area for several hours after the injections to reduce the possibility of spreading the Botox to unintended areas. You should start to see results from your Botox treatment within three to seven days, with full results appearing after about two weeks.
