Anti-wrinkle injections (commonly known as Botox) are a popular, non-surgical cosmetic treatment designed to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on the face and neck. The treatment works by temporarily relaxing the muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles (caused by movement), resulting in a smoother, more youthful appearance. The treatment is quick, minimally invasive, and requires little to no downtime, making it an excellent choice for those looking to refresh their look without the need for surgery.

  • Avoid alcohol and blood thinners (aspirin, anti-inflammatory medications) for 24–48 hours to reduce bruising.

  • Stay hydrated and eat a light meal to prevent dizziness.

  • Inform your provider about any medical conditions or medications you’re taking.

  • Arrive with a clean face, free of makeup or skincare products, to minimize infection risk.

  • Follow any additional instructions given by your provider for the best results.

During the Botox procedure, your provider will clean the treatment area and may apply a numbing cream if needed. Using a fine needle, small amounts of Botox will be injected into specific muscles to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. The injections are quick and generally well-tolerated, with only minimal discomfort. The entire procedure usually takes about 10–20 minutes, depending on the number of areas being treated. After the treatment, you may notice slight redness or swelling, but this typically subsides within a few hours.

  • Avoid rubbing or massaging the treated area for at least 24 hours to prevent Botox from spreading.

  • Avoid strenuous exercise for the rest of the day to minimize swelling and bruising.

  • Refrain from alcohol and excessive sun exposure to reduce the risk of bruising.

  • Be patient—results typically take a few days to appear.

  • Follow any additional instructions from your provider for the best outcome.

FAQ's

What is Botox, and how does it work?
Botox is a neuromodulator that temporarily relaxes facial muscles, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines by preventing muscle contractions.


Does Botox hurt?
Most patients experience only mild discomfort, similar to a small pinch. A numbing cream can be applied if needed.


How long does Botox last?
The effects of Botox generally last 3–4 months, after which muscle movement gradually returns, and wrinkles may reappear.


Are there any side effects?
Some common side effects include mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site, which usually resolve within a few days.


Can I exercise after getting Botox?
It’s recommended to avoid strenuous exercise for at least 24 hours to prevent Botox from spreading to unintended areas.


Can Botox be reversed?
Botox cannot be reversed immediately, but its effects wear off naturally over time.


Is Botox safe?
Yes, when administered by a trained professional, Botox is a safe and FDA-approved treatment for cosmetic and medical uses.


Who should avoid Botox?
Botox is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women, individuals with neuromuscular disorders, or those allergic to any ingredients in the product. Always consult with your provider to determine if Botox is right for you.


Can Botox prevent wrinkles from forming?
Yes! Botox is often used as a preventative treatment to slow down the development of fine lines and wrinkles by reducing repetitive muscle movements.


Can I wear makeup after Botox?
It’s best to avoid makeup for at least 24 hours after treatment to prevent irritation and reduce the risk of infection.


Will my face look frozen or unnatural?
When administered correctly by a skilled provider, Botox gives a natural and refreshed look while still allowing some facial movement. Overuse or incorrect placement can result in a frozen appearance.
