It is administered by tiny injections into the muscles to be relaxed or under the skin above the muscles to be relaxed. The procedure rarely takes longer than ½ an hour. The effects of the anti-wrinkle injections usually take 48 hours to start to show, although it is earlier than that for some individuals. However total effects cannot be judged until

Botulinum toxin is a chemical which when injected in and around muscles, prevents the muscles from contracting. It works by blocking the chemicals released from nerves. It is only active by injection and cannot be absorbed through the skin itself i.e creams. It has a temporary effect lasting between 3-6 months. After which time the nerve ending which supply the previously relaxed muscle will return to their usual function to make the muscle contract as before.

7 DAYS BEFORE treatment (to prevent bruising): AVOID blood thinning over-the-counter medications such as Aspirin, Motrin, Ibuprofen, and Aleve. Also avoid herbal supplements, such as Garlic, Vitamin E, Ginkgo Biloba, St. John’s Wort, and Omega-3 capsules. Do not drink alcoholic beverages 24 hours before (or after) your treatment to avoid extra bruising. Inform your provider if you have a history of Perioral Herpes to receive advice on antiviral therapy prior to treatment.

No physical exercise. Avoid heat exposure. Avoid alcohol and painkillers. Don’t wear anything on the treatment area. No laying down after your Botox treatment. No touching your face or massaging the treatment area.

After your Anti-Wrinkle treatment, you will start to see results in one to three days, the best results coming in two weeks, in time for your review. Your results will last at least three to six months but could be longer; it depends on how your muscles react to the injection.
