BOTOX
Reduce fine lines, wrinkles, frown lines, crow’s feet and more with Botox injections.
THE MAGIC OF BOTOX
Are you tired of lines and wrinkles on your forehead and around your eyes that add unnecessary years to the way you look? Our Roanoke Rapids Botox treatments can help bring you back to a smoother, more naturally youthful look.
Botox is a cosmetic injectable treatment that works by softening those pesky lines and smoothing out those irritating wrinkles on your forehead and around your eyes. The procedure works its magic by temporarily relaxing the muscles that tend to pinch the skin and cause those annoying creases.
Are You a Candidate for Botox?
You might very well be a perfect candidate for Botox if:
-
You have frown lines in the middle of your forehead
-
Have “crow’s feet” lines appearing around your eyes
-
Have vertical lines between your eyes
-
You are above 18 years of age
-
You do not have any skin infection in the area being treated
-
You have not received any recent cosmetic procedure in or near the area being treated
-
You do not take blood thinners or have a bleeding problem
-
You are not pregnant, want to be pregnant or are breastfeeding
-
You are not allergic to any ingredients present in Botox cosmetics
-
You are not allergic to any other brand of botulinum toxin like Dysport.
If you are an ideal candidate, a treatment plan is created which will include the amount of Botox you will receive and the injection site will be determined.
What Should I Expect from the Treatment?
During the procedure, a mild cleanser or a disinfectant is applied to the area. A microneedle is used to inject Botox into the targeted area, directly into your facial muscles. The pain is usually minimal as the needle used is small and narrow.
After the treatment, you will be asked not to:
-
Lie down for a few hours
-
Rub the area that was treated
-
Use blood thinners for a couple of days
-
Exercise or perform strenuous activities for at least 24 hours
Bruising, swelling, pain, tenderness, numbness, and redness in the area that was treated, are common side effects of Botox injections. It can also be common to experience a headache, and very rarely one may experience drooping eyelids. These side effects reduce gradually and disappear within a few days. These side effects are very common and do not cause any severe damage.
