Frequently Asked Questions about Botox ®

What is Botox ®?

Botulinum toxin, or Botox ®, is a protein that is naturally occurring. When it is injected into facial muscles, they relax. The result is younger looking skin and fine lines that have been virtually erased.

Botox ® is most commonly utilized for crow's feet, forehead wrinkles, and the frown lines between eyebrows. However, it can be injected into any facial muscle. The results develop gradually over the course of a few weeks, but they begin to show in a few days.

Is Botox ® Safe?

For more than four decades, Botulinum toxin has been used in medicine. Extensive research has been focused on its efficacy and safety. Due to the process of injection, it affects only your muscles. The risks are extremely minimal when a qualified medical professional administers Botox ®.

Are Botox ® injections painful?

The answer is no. The needle used to inject Botox ® is very small (think an acupuncture needle), very little discomfort is experienced. A mild stinging sensation may occur, generally when injected between the eyebrows, but some doctors offer topical anesthesia when this procedure is performed.  

How long will the Botox ® effects last?

Usually, treatment with Botox ® Cosmetic will last for about three to six months, but all patients are different. The lines will disappear and reappear gradually. To ensure that the effects are maintained, it is a good idea to schedule regular follow-up injections. Botox ® treatments can be continued indefinitely in most situations.

What are the side effects?

Botox ® is a drug, and most drugs have side effects, but the effects associated with Botox ® tend to be short-lived and minor. Most commonly, there can be bruising at the injection site. When an experienced doctor or nurse performs the injection, he/she is able to judge the size of the muscle and how much Botox ® is necessary in order to keep side effects to a minimum.
