What is Botox?

A popular injection

Botulinum toxin cosmetic, also known as Botox, is a popular injection that temporarily diminishes or removes facial fine lines and wrinkles. The most typically treated locations are frown lines, forehead creases, and crow's feet near the eyes. Several other areas can be treated, including pronounced neckbands, chin dimpling, strong jaw muscles, lip lines, and a gummy smile. Botox is also an effective solution for excessive sweating in the armpits, scalp, palms and soles.

Botox is a bacteria-derived purified toxin that works by temporarily disrupting nerve signals to the muscles that contribute to wrinkle formation. The muscle cannot contract in the absence of a signal. As a result, facial wrinkles are reduced or prevented from forming in the first place. Kerolus Facial Plastic Surgery uses Botox and Dysport as the primary formulas for botulinum toxin.

Your Botox Procedure

Less than 15 minutes

Because it is only a few shots, botulinum toxin injections may appear to be an easy treatment. However, it is both an art and a science that should only be performed by an experienced healthcare expert like Dr. Julia Kerolus. To begin your procedure for Botox Atlanta Facial Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Kerolus will first sanitize the area. Ice is used as a topical anesthetic at the injection site in most cases, but topical numbing cream is also an option to help keep you as comfortable as possible during treatment. Next, small doses of Botox are injected into specific muscles using a very fine needle for a pleasant, pain-free esperience. Dr. Kerolus weakens only the wrinkle-producing muscles, keeping your natural facial expressions intact.

Injections of botulinum toxin typically take less than 15 minutes. The quantity of injections required is determined by your facial characteristics and the severity of your wrinkles. Crow's feet, for example, typically necessitate two or three injections. Furrows across your brow may require five or more.

Botox Recovery

No downtime

Botox injections require little to no downtime. You can continue your routine activities right away and engage in light exercise after 4 hours. Some individuals may experience tiny "bumps" immediately following treatment at injection sites, which usually dissipate within minutes. It is important to avoid massaging or rubbing the treated region for the remainder of the day following treatment. Botox typically begins to take effect within a few days as the muscle groups that were treated will no longer contract as much. It may take up to two weeks for patients with intense lines to achieve their optimum appearance as the skin smooths out over time.

Botox Results

Look younger and refreshed

Although you may see effects within a few days, it may take up to two weeks to get the full effect.Your final result will leave you looking more rested with smoother skin while preserving your normal facial expressions. Botox results typically last three-four months in the majority of individuals. Over time, your body regenerates new nerve terminals, allowing the neurotransmitter acetylcholine to be sent again and restore muscular function. Botox benefits naturally fade over time and must be re-injected to maintain the treatment's effectiveness.

What's the difference between Botox & Dermal Fillers?

Both products provide temporary (but long-lasting) benefits and do not normally necessitate any downtime. Botox is designed to treat wrinkles that form as a direct result of muscle contraction. Static wrinkles, such as smile lines, that are a result of volume loss, are usually better treated with dermal fillers. Because Botox and fillers have complimentary benefits, many people prefer to have both treatments done simultaneously for a complete, non-surgical facial rejuvenation.
