What to expect after your Botox services at Image Dermatology® P.C.
At Image Dermatology® P.C., our dermatologic team regularly sees patients from the Montclair, New Jersey, area interested in combating the signs of aging on the face, including the formation of folds, wrinkles, and fine lines. With the help of Dr. Jeanine Downie, many men and women can obtain this anti-aging treatment and turn back the hands of time–without plastic surgery! This is often achieved with neuromodulators such as Botox injections. Let’s discuss Botox services and what to expect before, during, and after Botox injections.
What is Botox, and how does this injectable work on aging skin?
Botox is a brand name for a specific type of neuromodulator that is FDA-approved to treat wrinkles and fine lines on the face. It is made from a purified form of botulinum toxin, which temporarily relaxes the muscles responsible for causing wrinkles. When injected into specific areas of the face, Botox can smooth out facial wrinkles and give the appearance of a more youthful look to the facial skin.
Actual Patient Results
What should I expect before, during, and after my Botox service?
- Before. Before undergoing Botox injections, a consultation appointment with Dr. Downie is set, during which she will evaluate the skin and talk to you about your medical history to determine if you are a proper candidate for this injectable. If you are not, she can discuss other options that may be available to you, such as dermal fillers or chemical peels that can assist in reducing the look of wrinkles and folds on the skin.
- During. You can expect a comfortable environment when visiting our office for Botox injections. The skin is cleansed thoroughly, and a topical numbing paste is added before the injections are made into the specific muscles of concern. This ensures the proper placement and effectiveness of the Botox treatment.
- After. It is common to experience mild redness, swelling, and bruising at the injection site immediately following the procedure, but these side effects will typically subside within a few hours to a couple of days. Usually, Botox starts to work in a few hours for some people, a few days for others, and up to two weeks for a few. Results typically last three to four months, depending on the individual, and are safe for both males and females of all races and ethnicities.
