Benefits

BOTOX® Cosmetic is a quick, easy, and relatively painless procedure. It can easily be performed in an afternoon or even on your lunch break. Since it is non-surgical, there is virtually no recovery period. Over time, wrinkles may also appear smoother between treatments due to the weakening of the muscles.

Procedure

First, you will consult with your doctor in Newport Beach about the best placement for your injectable treatment. While you lay back in a chair similar to a dentist’s chair, your doctor will use a small, thin needle to inject the BOTOX® Cosmetic proteins into individual muscles in the face. The procedure usually takes less than 15 minutes to complete, depending on how many injections are needed. Signals from facial nerves are blocked, which keeps the muscles from contracting. Some discomfort may be felt at the injection site; although, your doctor may choose to numb the treatment site if it is in a sensitive area.

Results and Recovery

You will begin to see results three to seven days after your treatment; final results are visible in two weeks. Results typically last from three to six months.

Some slight bruising may appear after treatment but should dissipate quickly. Some mild numbness or tingling may be present for a short time as well. After your injectable treatment, you may continue on with your day. Do not lie down for three to four hours afterward; additionally, do not rub or massage the treatment site for 12 hours following your procedure.

BOTOX® is also FDA approved to treat conditions such as hyperhidrosis, overactive bladder, lazy eye, and chronic migraines.
