Botox® has a VERY short appointment time. Unlike other cosmetic treatments, you can get Botox treatments very quickly, as they’re minimally invasive and only affect the area treated. The overall results timeline varies depending on the individual. However, many see results immediately, and like most injectables, the lasting results take 2 weeks to fully migrate and settle. Botox® results can last up to 4-6 months.

Reduction of fine lines and wrinkles – Botox injections stop movement of muscles where injected to prevent formation of wrinkles in the skin above the muscles. This reduces fine lines and wrinkles.

Therapeutic Treatment of migraines – Most migraines are caused because of contraction of muscles on the scalp, forehead or back of the neck. Paralyzing those muscles with Botox is an effective way to prevent migraines. If someone suffers from migraines on their forehead area, the Botox injections will simultaneously give the aesthetic benefits of Botox injections.

Reduction of teeth grinding and jaw pain, TMJ – Teeth grinding (bruxism) is a common condition and frequently leads to inflammation of the Temporomandibular joint which results in jaw pain and dental damage due to constant grinding down of teeth. By injecting the masseter muscle (a band-like muscle on the sides of the lower face) with Botox, this involuntary teeth grinding stops and so does the painful joint inflammation that accompanies it. Furthermore, the same injection technique helps make the face appear slimmer and more contoured.

Reduction of upper back and shoulder pain – Upper back muscle spasms can be prevented with Botox injections to the trapezius muscle. As this injection technique reduces the bulik or size of the trapezius muscle, it will make the neck appear longer!

Prevention of excess sweating (Hyperhidrosis) – Botox injections interfere with the nerve signals that trigger excess sweating in areas like the underarms or hands. In other words, you can reduce excessive sweating in injection sites, meaning the treatment extends beyond cosmetic purposes and leaves more than just a refreshed appearance in the treatment area.

Acne Breakouts – Botox has been shown to reduce acne breakouts in the areas it is injected, likely due to a reduction in sweating and sebum production. However, there are a variety of effective treatments for acne breakouts that should be considered before opting for botox injections as Botox can only be injected on certain parts of the face in order to look aesthetically appealing. You can consult with our specialists to find the best FDA-approved treatment option for acne.
