What is Botox Cosmetic?

Botox is a medication that can only be prescribed by a healthcare professional. It is used as a temporary treatment for patients between the ages of 18 and 65. Botox treatments are quick and comfortable, and within hours, you will begin to notice a difference in the way your skin looks and feels.

Smile Makeovers Reimagined

How does Botox work?

Botox uses a unique protein to block overactive nerve impulses, restricting muscle contractions. In doing so, Botox helps to relax the muscles beneath the skin, making fine lines and wrinkles less visible and giving the skin a healthy, more youthful appearance.

Depending on each case, the results can last between one and six months. Treatment is temporary, and once the Botox begins to wear off, the skin will return to the way it looked before treatment.

Botox Recovery and Aftercare

One of the major advantages of Botox is that it comes with little to no recovery time. Most patients can return to their normal activities immediately after treatment. However, to ensure the best results:

  • Avoid rubbing or massaging the treated areas for 24 hours.
  • Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours.
  • Don't lie down for 4 hours post-treatment.
  • Avoid alcohol and blood-thinning medications for 24 hours.
