Frequently Asked Questions

Botox is being used by many women and men in their 20s and 30s to prevent wrinkles. Botox works by relaxing the muscles of the face and reducing the appearance of lines. Consistent Botox treatments do seem to prevent future wrinkles. There is mounting evidence that wrinkle relaxer medications such as Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, and Jeuveau can prevent wrinkles. In a twin study where one twin was given Botox and the other was not, the twin who was regularly treated had fewer wrinkles and static lines compared to her sister after several years.

Botox is the brand name for a product that temporarily relaxes muscles in the face and reduces or prevents the appearance of wrinkles. In small, diluted amounts, it can be directly injected into specific muscles, causing controlled weakening of the muscles. Botox injections are most commonly used to reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles.

We use a number of wrinkle-reducing treatments that include Botox™, Xeomin™, Dysport™, and Jeuveau™.

The effects of Botox typically last 2-3 months. After that, muscle action gradually returns, and the lines and wrinkles begin to reappear and need to be treated again. The lines and wrinkles often appear less severe with time because of persistent use of Botox.

Botox was approved by the FDA in 1989. Since then, millions of men and women have used either Botox or other neuromodulator medications such as Xeomin, Dysport, and Jeuveau. Side effects are rare.  Side effects of Botox may include pain at the injection site, infection, inflammation, swelling, redness, bleeding, and bruising. Some of these symptoms may indicate an allergic reaction. Other possible side effects include headache, neck or back pain, muscle stiffness, difficulty swallowing, shortness of breath, nausea, and flu-like symptoms.

Botox works by blocking signals from the nerves to the muscles. The injected muscle can’t contract. This makes wrinkles relax and soften. Botox is most often used on forehead lines, crow’s feet (lines around the eye), and frown lines. It won’t help with wrinkles caused by sun damage or gravity.

Filler is a product used in aesthetics that adds volume to the face or lips. Botox is a name commonly used for several brands called neuromodulators. These are products temporarily relax the muscles in the face, leading to wrinkle reduction.

For the most optimal results and to maintain safety, you should not consume alcohol or use ibuprofen products for at least 6 hours. You should not lie flat for at least 4 hours. You should also avoid rubbing your face after treatment or undergoing a facial or microneedling for at least 2 weeks.

While Botox and other wrinkle relaxer medications are safe for most individuals, certain groups should avoid their use, including:
· Pregnant or breastfeeding women: The effects of Botox on unborn or nursing infants are not well-studied, so it is best to avoid treatment during these periods.
· Individuals with neuromuscular disorders: Conditions such as myasthenia gravis or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) may be exacerbated by Botox.
· Allergic individuals: Those with known allergies to botulinum toxin or any of the ingredients in Botox should avoid its use.
· Infection at the injection site: Botox should not be administered if there is an active infection at the planned injection site.
