Botox Q & A
​
What is Botox®?
Botox® is a neuromodulator injectable medication that target contracted muscles beneath your skin that cause wrinkles, creases, and expression lines to form. The skilled team of professionals at Dr. Alexis Aesthetics & Dr. Alexis Health uses Botox® to help your expression look younger and more pleasant.
​
How does Botox work?
Repeated facial expressions like smiling, frowning, and squinting can result in permanently contracted muscles that create wrinkles and creases over time. Botox® neuromodulation injection therapy blocks nerve signals to your muscles, causing them to relax.
​
The experienced, licensed injector team at Dr. Alexis Aesthetics & Dr. Alexis Health uses Botox® to smooth and rejuvenate your skin without giving your face a “frozen” look.
​
Which areas can be treated with Botox?
Botox® reduces the appearance of wrinkles, creases, or lines in the following areas:
-
Forehead
-
Between the eyebrows
-
Crow’s feet
-
Around the lips
-
Chin
​
Botox® can also:
-
Brighten your eyes by creating a lift in your eyebrow area.
-
Reduce a “gummy” smile
-
Treat excessive sweating
​
When will I see results from Botox injections?
Botox® results are typically noticeable within 3-5 days of treatment, with full results visible within 10-14 days
How long will my results from Botox injections last?
Botox® and results last between 3-5 months on average. Touch-up treatments are important to help maintain improvements to your skin for long-lasting wrinkle reduction.
Are Botox injections safe?
Botox® is FDA approved for cosmetic use and considered safe, effective treatments for wrinkles and lines caused by repetitive facial expression. You may experience a little redness or irritation around the treatment site, but this usually subsides quickly within 1-3 hours. More serious side effects are possible but very rare.
​
Am I a candidate for Botox?
If you have mild to moderate wrinkles or creases caused by repeated facial expressions, Botox® may be right for you. Wrinkles caused by skin laxity, facial volume loss, orother factors may respond better to dermal fillers such as Juvéderm®. During your initial consultation at Dr. Alexis Aesthetics & Dr. Alexis Health, your aesthetic specialist discusses your options with you in detail, so you can choose the treatment that best meets your needs.
