What is Botox?

Botox is a cosmetic injectable made of botulinum toxin, a neurotoxin that paralyzes facial muscles associated with smile, frown, and laugh lines. These injections reduce wrinkles and other signs of aging to give you a younger-looking appearance without invasive procedures or downtime.

What are the benefits of Botox?

When choosing Botox, you can expect the following benefits:

• Smoother and tighter skin
• Fewer lines and wrinkles
• Less underarm sweating
• Younger-looking appearance 
• Reduced crow’s feet
• Diminished forehead lines

The process of getting Botox is fast and simple, which makes it an excellent lunchtime treatment.

Is Botox right for me?

To find out if you’re a candidate for Botox, the Valley Spinal Care team discusses your medical history and desired outcome with you. They examine areas of your face or body that you’re concerned about before personalizing a treatment plan. Your provider might also recommend lip fillers or other dermal fillers in addition to Botox injections. 

What happens when getting Botox?

When getting Botox injections, you relax in a comfortable padded chair. Your provider numbs the treatment area to make sure you don’t feel any pain. They slowly and gently inject botulinum toxin beneath your skin at targeted areas. Each injection takes just a minute or two, and there’s no downtime afterward.

What should I expect after the procedure?

After receiving Botox injections, you can resume a normal routine right away. However, avoid touching the treatment area for the rest of the day. Redness, swelling, and tenderness are common side effects of Botox, but they don’t last long. You can apply ice to the treatment area to reduce swelling at the injection sites. 

After a few days, you can expect the effects of Botox to kick in. Your skin will appear smoother, tighter, and less wrinkled. You’ll notice a younger-looking appearance, giving you the boost of confidence that you deserve. Repeating Botox injections every few months can help you maintain your new look long-term.
