Frequent Questions About Botox® Cosmetic
How is the procedure done?Botox treatment is a very precise procedure that must be done carefully to be successful. After you've decided on the result you´d like to achieve, specific facial muscles that correspond to the areas you would like to improve are identified. After isolating these muscles, a tiny needle is used to inject a very small amount of Botox. Essentially, Botox will paralyze the nerve controlling a muscle, which will prevent it from contracting. Since the muscle is no longer able to move, wrinkles will disappear.How do I prepare for this procedure?First, your physician will take a complete medical history to determine if you are a good candidate for treatment with Botox. If you are at or over age 40, an electrocardiogram will be required. Your physician will then perform a complete facial examination to determine which areas of your face may benefit from Botox®. Because Botox® can only treat wrinkles caused by muscle contractions, some facial lines and wrinkles can only be eliminated by chemical peel or laser resurfacing. You must stop smoking, taking aspirin or taking diet pills at least two weeks prior to the procedure.How long does the procedure take?Botox® treatments generally take about 10 minutes and can be performed in your physician´s office.What form of anesthesia is used?None. Although some patients prefer to apply a mild analgesic cream 30 minutes before their treatment. This effectively eliminates the slight twinge that may be caused by the fine needles during treatment. Most patients find that applying any form of anesthetic is unnecessary.Can I return home the same day?Yes. Treatment with Botox® is a very simple procedure, which allows you to return home immediately after your procedure.
