Botox Treatment & Injections in Gilbertsville, PA

What is Botox ®?

A popular FDA-approved brand of botulinum toxin, Botox ® Cosmetic, is injected into facial muscles that are overactive. It relaxes the muscles and alleviates the superficial laugh/frown lines, crow's feet, and wrinkles they cause. It targets specific facial muscles to immobilize them so they stop contracting. As a result, you get a more youthful appearance.

Myths & Facts about Botox ®

Myth 1: You can use Botox ® anywhere on your face.  

Fact: Botox ® can be used on fine wrinkles, tiny frown lines between the brows, and horizontal forehead lines for the purpose of smoothing them out. However, if you are looking for fuller lips, or other instances of more facial volume, Botox ® is not the right choice.

Myth 2: Botox ® is not safe.  

Fact: The safety history of Botox ® has been well-established. It has been used for decades for a whole host of medical conditions, even though many people only know it for its wrinkle treatment abilities. In North America, it is the most popular cosmetic treatment used today.

Myth 3: Botox ® injections are painful.  

Fact: It only takes a few minutes to inject Botox ®. Any pain that is associated with the injection is minimal because the amount of liquid used is small and the needle is very fine. There's no downtime after treatment, and no anesthetic is required.

Myth 4: Results of Botox ® will be immediate.  

Fact: Botox ® injections and treatments are simple and quick. You will notice younger and smoother looking skin approximately 24-72 hours after the treatment as the muscles relax and the frown lines and wrinkles disappear. The full effect, however, can take seven to ten days.

Myth 5: Only women get Botox ® injections.  

Fact: Guys who are looking to smooth out wrinkles and fine lines can benefit from Botox ® injections too. The main difference between Botox ® for men versus women is that men have stronger facial muscles. So, larger doses of Botox ® are required in order to achieve similar results. But, once treatments are performed, they will typically last the same amount of time, usually three to six months.

Myth 6: You can get Botox ® injections anywhere.  

Fact: Trained and experienced medical professionals are necessary for the application of Botox ® injections.
