As you age, your skin undergoes changes such as the loss of collagen and elastin and a decrease in subcutaneous fat, which can make you more prone to developing wrinkles. Every facial expression can contribute to the formation of wrinkles, a prevalent sign of aging. Botox® injections offer a solution by reducing muscle movement responsible for causing wrinkling. Discover more about Botox® treatments available at Nowak Aesthetics.

What is Botox®?

Botox® is formulated with botulinum toxin type A to reduce the look of aging skin. Botulinum toxin type A is injected into the problematic muscles, inhibiting the nerve signal required to move a muscle.

  • Reduces the look of neckbands
  • Smooths dimpling on the chin

Candidates For Botox®

Botox® is a safe and effective treatment method to reduce the look of wrinkles and fine lines. This treatment can also be used to combat wrinkles before they appear. The best way to determine your candidacy for Botox® is through a consultation at Nowak Aesthetics.

Botox® Procedure

Botox® injections require the intricate care and detail provided by our Nowak experts. Our experts are trained to meticulously inject into the muscles necessary for treatment. Since there are 43 muscles in the face, seeking care from an expert provider such as our highly educated injectors at Nowak Aesthetics is essential.

Your Botox® treatment will begin with the option for topical numbing. It can take up to 30 minutes for your numbing cream to become effective, making arriving at your appointment early essential. Once you have been adequately numbed, your injector will gently insert a thin needle into your targeted muscles, injecting trace amounts of botulinum toxin. This guarantees that the wrinkle-causing muscles are the only areas being weakened, allowing you to move other facial regions freely. Your Botox® injections will take around 15 minutes to complete. The length of your appointment and the required number of units will depend on your current condition, facial features, and aesthetic goals.

Botox® Recovery

After your Botox® injections, you can expect no downtime or recovery necessary. You can immediately resume your daily activities without needing to take time off. After injection, it is crucial that you do not rub the treated area because this can cause the botulinum toxin to migrate to unintended areas, causing muscle weakness or facial drooping. You may experience temporary side effects such as bruising, redness, and swelling. These will diminish within a few short days.

Who should not get Botox?

You might not be a candidate for Botox if you have an allergy to botulinum toxin, are currently pregnant or breastfeeding, or have underlying medical conditions like autoimmune disorders or neuromuscular conditions. If you have an active skin infection or active acne, you will need to wait to receive treatment. If this is the case, please schedule a consultation to assess treatment options.

What activities should you avoid after Botox?

After Botox injections, patients should avoid strenuous activities, hot tubs, and saunas for 24 hours. You should also avoid touching, rubbing the treatment areas, and wearing hats since this could cause the neurotoxin to spread.

How long does Botox take to settle?

It typically takes about 5-7 days for Botox to settle and after this time, you will see smoother skin with fewer visible wrinkles. However, it may take 10-14 days to completely settle.

What happens when Botox wears off?

After Botox wears off, fine lines and wrinkles will reappear. Botox treatments can be scheduled every 3-4 months to maintain your wrinkle-free skin.

Do I need to do anything to prepare for Botox?

Patients should avoid blood thinning medications like ibuprofen and aspirin for one week before their Botox appointment. Alcohol consumption should also be avoided 24 hours before your appointment since it can increase the risk of bleeding and swelling.

Botox® Results

Your Botox® results will begin to emerge in as short as two days. However, the full effects can take up to one week to appear. Your Botox® results are long-lasting and can provide youthful-looking results for three to four months. To maintain your Botox® results, scheduling maintenance appointments as needed every few months is essential.
