Neurotoxins
Anti-Wrinkle Treatments aka “Botox” or “Dysport”
Those pesky lines we start to see across our face, primarily around the forehead and eye region, often intensify as we age. Forehead lines, the frown lines between our eyes (often referred to as elevens), and the crows’ feet around the eye are the most common areas to treat. Placing small amounts of neurotoxin in those areas can smooth out those lines creating a youthful, refreshed, and rested appearance. Feeling youthful is only the beginning of your aging journey, and botulinum toxin injections can remedy the tell-tale signs on your face. Fine lines and wrinkles are no match for nurse Zayra, and she’s helped countless people regain their confidence and feel youthful.
Candidates
Unlike other treatments, botulinum toxin injections are localized, making them a suitable option for most clients. Ideal candidates for botulinum toxin injections include:
- Adults who may be unhappy with the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Individuals who are healthy and don’t have a history of neuromuscular disease
- Individuals who are not pregnant or nursing
- Individuals who harbor realistic after-procedure expectations
What to Expect
Nurse Zayra will consider your medical history during your one-on-one consultation and discuss your concerns and desired outcomes. She will examine the areas of concern and discuss the best plan of action to achieve your aesthetic goals. It’s also a great time to go over any questions or concerns you may have before we begin your treatment. When we finalize the treatment plan, we start by cleansing the area we will be injecting. Once thoroughly cleansed, we’ll proceed by delicately injecting your facial muscles. After we complete the injections, we will discuss post-care instructions and book a follow-up appointment in two weeks. Botulinum toxin treatments can take up to 2 weeks to see the full effect and requires a touch-up approximately every 3-4 months.
Recovery
During the recovery time, treated areas may be subject to redness and tenderness. However, many patients can tolerate the discomfort. Downtime is not required post-botulinum toxin treatment; however, it is best to avoid strenuous activities for a minimum of 24 hours. Avoid rubbing, massaging, or applying pressure to the treated areas. Do not lie down or bend over for 4 to 6 hours. These actions can cause the botulinum toxin to spread to other body areas and negatively affect your results.
Results / Longevity
Since botulinum toxin injections are entirely customized, results vary from patient to patient. It typically takes between 7 to 30 days to see maximum treatment results. After the treatment, you can expect muscles in the treated area to reduce movements. Much like the effects of Botox, treatment results also vary between patients. These depend on an individual’s muscle anatomy, strength, size, and skin quality. However, three to six months is a safe guess. Repeated treatments allow you to enjoy the results for longer, helping you maintain your youthful look!
