Botox
How does Botox Work?
The wrinkles and fine lines that bother you so much are the results of muscle movement. Your brain sends signals to your facial muscles telling them to twitch. This is no problem in the short-term. But over the course of your life, an incalculable number of muscle contractions add up, eventually result in creases and wrinkles.
Botox works at the muscular level in a very simple way: it prevents your muscles from receiving the signals your brain sends. When the muscles don’t receive the signals, they don’t twitch, and when they don’t twitch, wrinkles don’t form. Over time, your muscles and skin will relax and smooth out, eliminating the fine lines and creases that can make you appear aged and fatigued.

What Should I expect?
Whether Botox is a regular part of your self-care routine or you are curious about first-time Botox, our team will make sure you feel great about your treatment plan every step of the way.
Injection of botox is a very simple procedure and little-to-no preparation is required of you. It can be helpful to avoid alcohol or medication such as blood-thinners or ibuprofen in the days before your appointment in order to minimize the chance of bruising.
At the beginning of your appointment we will discuss your aesthetic goals and your treatment plan. We will cleanse the area to be treated and carefully inject your Botox.
What about after the treatment?
No downtime is needed after Botox treatment and most people resume regular activities right away. You may experience some mild swelling, bruising or redness at the injection site.
Botox takes about 7-10 days to work fully and usually lasts between 3 and 4 months.
