Are you tired of fine lines and wrinkles giving away your age? Do you wish to have smoother, younger-looking skin? Look no further than Alpha Lan MedSpa’s BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment. As a trusted and experienced provider, we offer BOTOX® to help you achieve the youthful appearance you desire. In this blog, we’ll answer some frequently asked questions about BOTOX® and give you an overview of the treatment.
What is BOTOX® Cosmetic?
BOTOX® Cosmetic is an FDA-approved treatment that reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on the face. The treatment involves injecting a highly purified botulinum toxin protein derived from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum into specific facial muscles that cause wrinkles. This reduces muscle movement, resulting in smoother, younger-looking skin.
What can BOTOX® Cosmetic treat?
BOTOX® Cosmetic is an effective treatment for dynamic wrinkles, which are wrinkles caused by repeated muscle movement. Some of the most commonly treated areas include horizontal forehead lines, lines between the eyebrows, crow’s feet around the eyes, a dimpled chin, and overactive masseter muscles. Our experienced medical professionals, including physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and nurse injectors, use targeted injections to achieve natural-looking results.
What to expect during the treatment?
The treatment takes about 15-30 minutes, depending on the number of units discussed and the area being treated. Our team of experienced medical professionals will administer the treatment to reduce movement in the targeted areas. This will result in smoother and more youthful-looking skin, with visible improvements that can last for up to three months. We will schedule a follow-up appointment two weeks after the treatment to evaluate your progress and make any necessary adjustments.
Is BOTOX® Cosmetic safe?
BOTOX® Cosmetic is generally considered safe, but it’s not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women, people with neuromodulator disorders, or those who are allergic to BOTOX®. To determine if you’re allergic to BOTOX®, look out for symptoms such as headache or flu-like symptoms, droopy eyelids, crooked smiles, drooling, eye dryness or excessive tearing, upset stomach, numbness, or malaise.
How long does BOTOX® Cosmetic last?
BOTOX® Cosmetic generally lasts 3-4 months, but in some patients, it can last up to 6 months, depending on the area of injection and their lifestyle. The treatment is temporary and requires repeated sessions to maintain the desired results.
