What is BOTOX?

BOTOX, short for botulinum toxin type A, is a purified protein derived from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. Despite its complex name, BOTOX is a safe and highly effective medication used to reduce the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles, especially in the upper facial area. This is accomplished by temporarily relaxing the muscles responsible for wrinkle formation. With continuous upkeep, BOTOX treatments keep dynamic wrinkles smooth while preventing progression.

How BOTOX Works

When preparing for BOTOX, avoid alcohol and blood-thinning medications a few days before your treatment. We take care to thoroughly cleanse the treatment area, removing any makeup, oils, or debris. BOTOX is administered using a fine needle for precise, small injections. For added comfort, we can apply a numbing cream topically before the procedure. The quantity and placement of injections will be personalized to your unique treatment plan, typically taking 10-15 minutes on average.

Targeted BOTOX Treatment Areas

  • Around the mouth
  • Chin
  • Jawline
  • Under the eyes
  • Neck
  • Forehead
  • Between the eyebrows
  • Outside the eyes (crow’s feet)

Your Recovery Process

After your BOTOX treatment, you may experience temporary bruising, swelling, and tenderness, which usually subside within a few days. While you can return to work the day after the procedure, avoiding strenuous physical activities for at least 24 hours is advisable. Also, refrain from rubbing or scratching the injection sites for several days after the treatment.

Refreshed Results

It usually takes a few days to a week for the complete effects of BOTOX to become apparent. As the treated muscles relax, your wrinkles gradually fade, revealing a smoother, more youthful appearance. Typically, BOTOX results endure for approximately 3-4 months. To keep enjoying your refreshed look, just book follow-up treatments as needed.

Is BOTOX safe?

Yes, BOTOX is considered safe when administered by a qualified medical professional. It is FDA-approved for cosmetic use and has a long history of safe use for various medical and cosmetic purposes.

What are the risks of BOTOX?

While BOTOX is generally safe, potential temporary risks may include swelling, bruising, or redness at the injection site. In rare cases, muscle weakness near the injection site can occur. These risks are minimized when administered by our skilled and experienced injectors.

Are there complementary treatments to enhance BOTOX results?

Yes, BOTOX can be combined with dermal fillers to address static wrinkles or loss of facial volume. This combination can offer a more comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

How old does someone need to be for BOTOX?

BOTOX is approved for aesthetic use on patients 18 and older.

Who should avoid Botox?

Botox is a safe and effective treatment for many; however, certain individuals should avoid it. Those who are pregnant, breastfeeding, have certain neurological disorders, or have a known allergy to botulinum toxin should not undergo Botox treatments. At Athēnix, our priority is your safety and well-being. We conduct thorough consultations to assess your medical history and determine if Botox is suitable for you.

Can you stop Botox once you start?

Yes, you can discontinue Botox treatments at any time. The effects of Botox are temporary, typically lasting about 3-4 months. If you choose to stop, your muscles will gradually return to their normal function, and any lines or wrinkles that were previously treated may slowly reappear over time. It's important to note that discontinuing Botox will not worsen the appearance of your wrinkles beyond their original state.

How long does a BOTOX treatment session take?

A typical BOTOX session at our Pasadena clinic is quick and convenient, usually lasting between 10 to 15 minutes. This makes it easy to fit into a busy schedule, often referred to as a lunchtime procedure. Despite the short duration, our skilled injectors ensure precise application for optimal results.

When will I see results from my BOTOX treatment?

Patients often begin to notice the effects of BOTOX within 3 to 5 days post-treatment, with full results typically visible by day 7 to 10. The treated areas will appear smoother and more youthful as the targeted muscles relax. Results can last up to 3 to 4 months, after which maintenance treatments are recommended to sustain the desired appearance.

Can BOTOX be combined with other treatments?

Yes, BOTOX can be effectively combined with other aesthetic procedures to enhance overall facial rejuvenation. Common combinations include dermal fillers for volume restoration and skin resurfacing treatments like chemical peels or microneedling for improved skin texture. During your consultation at our Pasadena location, our experts will tailor a treatment plan to meet your specific goals.
