At ShadeTree Dermatology, our professionals are ready and willing to help patients with medical and cosmetic dermatology concerns. This includes the development of fine lines and wrinkles on the face. With cosmetic Botox treatment, men and women can fight the signs of aging with an injection instead of plastic surgery.
Below are some commonly asked questions regarding Botox treatment:
Botox is an extremely popular cosmetic treatment made from botulinum toxin. Don’t worry, it’s completely safe when administered by the trained professionals at ShadeTree Dermatology. It works by temporarily relaxing the facial muscles that cause wrinkles, leaving your skin looking smooth and youthful.
When Botox is strategically injected into specific facial muscles, it blocks the signals that tell those muscles to contract. Without contraction, the wrinkles above those muscles soften or disappear to reverse the unwanted signs of aging on the face–including both wrinkles and fine lines.
You’ll usually notice smoother skin within three to seven days after treatment, with full results by two weeks. The best part? Your refreshed look can last anywhere from three to six months.
Not if it’s done right! A qualified injector will ensure your facial expressions remain natural. The goal is to enhance your beauty, not completely change the way you look.
Botox is suitable for most adults looking to minimize wrinkles, but it isn’t recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding individuals. It’s best to consult us to see if it’s a good fit for you.
Side effects are usually minimal, like slight redness or swelling at the injection site. These effects disappear quickly. Serious side effects are very rare when treatment is done by a professional.
If you stop Botox treatments, your wrinkles won’t worsen! They’ll simply return to how they looked before you started. You can think of Botox as a temporary boost for your skin, not a permanent change.
Looking for a smoother, younger-looking complexion? Botox might just be the solution you’ve been considering!
