Botulinum toxin treatments are commonly offered by day spas and other non-medical facilities. It is important to keep in mind this is a medical procedure that should be administered by a trained specialist. You should give your search for a provider the same level of care that you would a surgical procedure.

Be sure that your provider has a strong background in cosmetic procedures, including advanced training and experience in botulinum toxin injections. You may be able to ask for before and after photos of other patients. Our physicians, physician assistants and advanced nurse practitioners work together closely, and they are all specially trained and have years of clinical experience providing these injections. Dosages of these injections are based on clinical assessment of your muscle strength and facial features. Not everyone requires the same amount of botulinum toxin in a certain area.

 Set up an appointment today to meet one of our experienced providers. During your initial consultation, we will provide information to ensure your confidence and instill trust in our services. We look forward to hearing your specific needs and discussing how we can help you achieve a refreshed, more youthful appearance.

Before your treatment, you will meet with your provider for a consultation. This will include going over your medical history. It is important that you are open and honest during this meeting. There are very few risks with this procedure, but complications can arise from certain medications, allergies, and skin and neurological conditions.

The treatment will typically happen during an office visit and take 15 minutes or less. It is unlikely a topical anesthetic will be necessary. The combination of a very thin needle and the experience of the injector will minimize any discomfort. Application of ice immediate post-treatment can be utilized for any discomfort noted.

After the botulinum toxin is injected, you will be able to resume your regular daily activities, though your doctor may suggest avoiding strenuous activity or exercise for the rest of the day. Among the typical side effects are mild redness, bruising and swelling around the injection site, and mild headache. Initial effects are noted within 48 hours. It may take up to 10-14 days to notice the final results of the treatment.

The effects of the treatment can vary based on the product being used, the area treated and the patient. Results typically last for three to six months. When they start to wear off, your provider can repeat the treatment.
