What is Botox?

There are several brands of toxin. Although most refer to it as Botox, it's really just botulinum toxin, a neurotoxin that prevents muscles from moving by affecting nerves and weakening muscles. Some other popular brands include Jeuveau, Dysport and Xeomin. glowU carries both Jeuveau and Botox. They are popular non-surgical cosmetic treatment for temporarily smoothing wrinkles and facial lines on the forehead and around the eyes1. These injections are proven to safely and effectively block the aging process.

While commonly used for forehead lines, frown lines, or crow’s feet, the neurotoxins can be applied to other areas as well, including:

  • Wrinkles in the neck
  • Jaw muscles to help with clenching (TMJ)
  • The upper lip for lip rejuvenation
  • Armpits, hands, and feet for Hyperhidrosis

Because toxin relaxes your muscles, it can also be used in the temples and scalp to help prevent migraines caused by tension in your face, head, or neck2. Botox injections can also be used to treat neck spasms, eye conditions (such as lazy eye) and overactive bladders. 

How Does it Work?

These neurotoxins are an FDA-approved treatment in which diluted botulinum toxin is injected to temporarily stop facial muscles from contracting. The toxin disrupts the release of acetylcholine, the chemical process that causes muscle contraction and creates wrinkles. 

By pausing the muscle contractions, Botox injections smooth out existing wrinkles around the eyes and on the forehead and prevent new ones from forming for a period. The results are typically visible within 3 to 5 days after treatment and usually last between 3-4 months, and as long as 6 months.

Benefits

Botox is an affordable, non-surgical solution for retaining and enhancing your natural beauty as you age. The procedure is quick, inexpensive, and you should see results almost immediately.

These injections also offer a quick and easy recovery compared to alternative treatments like chemical peels, or surgical options like face lifts.

Are Neurotoxins Right for You?

Men and women throughout South Florida love toxin injections as a safe and affordable way to turn back the clock on aging and retain their youthful glow.

If you’re wondering if you’re old enough to start, many younger adults opt for injections as a preventative treatment for aging.

What to Expect: Preparation, Procedure, and Results

Before

The injection procedure is so simple that you could be ready for your first session immediately after a consultation.

Procedure

Your skin will be cleaned and you may be asked to make facial expressions to mark the injection sites. Then, a fine-needled syringe will be used to inject it into the muscles. 

Most patients report minimum, if any, discomfort and the entire procedure takes about 15 to 20 minutes.

After Procedure 

After the procedure, patients are able to return home and usually do not require any recovery time.

Some patients experience mild redness or tenderness where injections were administered, which generally goes away within a few hours.

It’s recommended that you do not rub the treated areas for 24 hours to prevent the toxin from spreading to an area where it isn't needed, and try to avoid laying down for at least 4 hours after to let it settle.

Results

The results are typically visible within 3-5 days after treatment but full effects are seen after 14 days. Treatments last between 3-4 months, and as long as 6 months depending on the dosage received.

Botox treats fine lines and wrinkles by paralyzing the muscles, while fillers replace volume and fill in wrinkles.

Botox usually lasts 3-4 months, and as much as 6 months, depending on the number of units, and your lifestyle and age.

Botox typically takes 3 to 5 days to see results, and as much as 8 depending on the area of treatment. For example, the area between your eyebrows or crow’s feet take less time, while the forehead or frown lines may take up to 8 days.
