What is Botox®?

Every time you laugh, frown and smile, facial muscles contract. Years of making these expressions can create wrinkles that etch onto the face – causing a more aged look than desired.

But with Botox® Cosmetic, those muscular contractions are prevented from ever happening! This neuromodulator blocks signals to nerves sent by the brain so they never reach their target destination. This relaxes your muscles, allowing for a smoother and younger look.

How does Botox® work?

Make the clock turn back in just a few minutes with Botox®! This anti-aging treatment is incredibly popular because of its impressive ability to reduce wrinkles and fine lines. By temporarily blocking neurotransmitters in facial muscles, this revolutionary procedure prevents deep creases from forming – perfect for those looking to restore their natural beauty without invasive surgery.

Benefits of Botox®

Botox® in Seattle and Kirkland provides an easy way to bring out your best self, allowing you to exhibit your finest features and the freedom of natural expression.

What areas can Botox® Treat?

Botox® can effectively treat many facial cosmetic conditions including Frown lines, crow’s feet, forehead wrinkles, bunny lines or lines across the bridge of your nose, minor vertical lip creases around the mouth, uneven brows, and gummy smiles. Botox® can also relax the muscles on the corners of the mouth that have become downturned and upturn them for a more friendly appearance.

How does the procedure feel? When will results show?

Most patients compare it to a quick pinch or sting. A trained medical professional will use a fine needle to inject the Botox® into the targeted area. The sensation is quick and only lasts a moment. As for when you’ll see results, it varies. Some notice a difference within a few days, while others may need to wait up to a week. Full results typically take about two weeks to become apparent.

What to expect before a Botox® procedure

Before your Botox® procedure, steer clear of alcohol, anti-inflammatories (such as Ibuprofen, Advil, Motrin, or Aleve), aspirin, and Vitamin E for up to a week before treatment. Doing so can reduce any risk of bruising or swelling post-treatment.

What to expect during a Botox® procedure

During the procedure, a small amount of the Botox® is injected into the targeted areas with a very tiny needle by a skilled, certified injector. The process takes only a few minutes and is relatively painless.

What to expect after a Botox® procedure

After receiving treatment, you may experience some mild bruising that will quickly subside. It is not advisable to massage the treatment area. Within days, results should be visible, allowing patients to enjoy long-lasting effects for up to 6 months.

Frequently Asked Questions

 

Am I a good candidate for Botox®?

Those with moderate facial wrinkles, such as crow’s feet and frown lines, and who want to obtain a more youthful appearance are good candidates for Botox® injections.

How long do results last?

Botox® is an effective neuromodulator that can reduce wrinkles for up to six months. Everyone absorbs the product differently, so repeat treatments may be necessary in order to achieve lasting results. With repetitive treatments, the muscles around targeted areas may gradually become more relaxed between sessions.

How much does Botox® cost?

The cost varies depending on the area treated and the number of treatments needed.

Is the procedure painful?

Botox® injections provide a quick, comfortable experience with impressive results. Our skilled and certified injectors will ensure a virtually pain-free session.

What are the potential risks and side effects of Botox®?

Botox® injections in Seattle and Kirkland are a noninvasive, non-surgical option with minimal risks. Most commonly experienced post-treatment side effects, such as redness or bruising, typically dissipate within a few hours.

Taking extra precautions for 12 hours after treatment is recommended to avoid unintended side effects, such as drooping eyelids, due to product migration into an unintended muscle group.

How many sessions will I need?

The sessions needed vary depending on the area being treated and how extensive the treatment is.

Is there any downtime after my Botox® treatment?

Botox® injections provide an efficient and quick beauty fix, with no downtime. You may resume regular activities immediately after treatment.

Can I get other injections in the same area?
