To clear up this confusion, the team at Shore Medical Aesthetics and Anti-Aging of Babylon, NY, makes use of their extensive knowledge to provide clients with essential information about this anti-aging treatment, as well as other safe and effective cosmetic procedures. Below, they share some important facts about Botox to help you determine whether this treatment is right for you.

Botox FAQ

1. How Does It Work?

As the muscles under your face contract over time, fine lines and wrinkles can occur. Botox (which is created using botulinum toxin protein) is injected directly into the muscles to prevent contractions and create smoother skin.

2. Are There Any Side Effects?

While side effects tend to be minimal, a few complications can occur. Some patients experience eyelid drooping, while others may experience headaches, dry mouth, dry eyes, and double vision. There is also the possibility of discomfort at the injection site. In this case, your doctor may apply a numbing application before the injection.

3. How Long Does It Last?

BotoxBotox can last up to four months under the right conditions, making it a great choice for those looking for long-term anti-aging treatments. However, the exact duration can vary greatly from person to person, so consult your specialist on what to expect.

4. How Long Before I See Results?

While results can sometimes be evident in a day or two after your treatment, the full effects can take as long as two weeks to appear. That’s why it’s recommended you schedule your appointment accordingly if you have a special occasion coming up, such as a wedding or anniversary celebration.
