Botox can also treat muscle spasm, bladder dysfunction, TMJ (temporomandibular joint dysfunction), hyperhidrosis and chronic migraines. It’s a safe and effective treatment with minimal downtime.
Once injected into the treatment area, Botox blocks muscle movement and relaxes the skin to diminish wrinkles and stop wrinkle formation. Botox can also lift and smooth skin along with shrinking muscles.

Once the treatment is completed, patients are given post-procedure guidelines. These details illustrate all after-care requirements at home.
The injectionist will analyze the surface of the skin to pinpoint potential redness, swelling, and/or irritation. If present, an ointment is provided to help it settle. With the help of a certified injectionist, all post-treatment issues last no more than a few hours.
The initial results will appear once the skin settles (24-48 hours). All long-term results appear 1-2 weeks after the session is completed and should last 3-5 months.
Please note, each patient is unique and these dates can vary.
The skin will go back to how it was if another injection isn’t completed in 3-5 months. However, patients display longer lasting results with each additional injection as the skin trains itself to stay put.
While a certified injectionist reduces any chance of side effects, it’s best to keep note of what each procedure entails.

In most cases, these are mild and disappear in no more than a few hours.
