Prepare for your Botox Visit: What to Expect During and After Your Treatment

Congrats! You are considering Botox! Please watch this video if you are interested in an appointment or have made an appointment for this amazing treatment! This is a treatment that is popular among women and men (aka Bro-tox). Watch to the end to see details on my Instagram 4K Follower Giveaway! I am a medical dermatologist but I also enjoy making my patients happy with cosmetic/aesthetic treatments. I am using this platform to not only educate on medical topics but also on aesthetic dermatology. Botox is an FDA approved treatment called onabotulinumtoxinA which is a nice way to soften wrinkles from facial movement (aka dynamic rhytides). Places that are commonly treated: crow's feet, frown lines, forehead lines, bunny lines of the nose, lip flip, lip wrinkles, neck bands, masseter muscles on lateral cheeks. Injectable neurotoxins like Botox have also shown to help with oil production and may even decrease acne formation. Things to keep in mind: Do not plan to exercise after your treatment Do not lie down 4-5 hrs after your treatment Do not get a massage where your head will be face-down in the prone position You will start seeing results as early as 2-3 days but max results are seen at 2 weeks Benefits will last for 3-4 months, sometimes longer See a qualified experienced injector for treatment. There are complications from this procedure if not done correctly or if you do not adhere to post-treatment instructions. Do not get treatment if pregnant. #botox #cosmetics #
