Considering Botox? Answers to Commonly Asked Questions

Botox is a popular cosmetic treatment that can help people look and feel younger. In fact, it is one of the most favored non-surgical cosmetic procedures for adults under 40. It has become a popular procedure for those looking to reduce signs of aging because it only requires a quick injection to temporarily remove wrinkles. Many people want to know more about what Botox can do for their appearance and what the procedure involves.

What is Botox?

Botox is a purified protein solution used to temporarily paralyze the muscles, injected to prevent the muscles from moving. It is mostly used by plastic surgeons to reduce fine lines and wrinkles on the face. The procedure is quick with results lasting from three to six months.

What Benefits Are There?

People get Botox injections to enhance their natural beauty. When softening hard lines and creases, a person can look more youthful without removing expression from the face. Many people report feeling an increase in confidence because of the results.

Botox is effective in reducing:

• Crow's feet
• Frown lines
• Furrows
• Forehead lines

How Long Does It Take Botox to Work?

Botox typically starts working within three to seven days after it is injected. When prescribed for a medical condition, it may take several weeks before you notice your condition improving. 

Since Botox effects are temporary, treatment will need to be repeated periodically. Your plastic surgeon will work with you to create a plan that best fits your individualized needs.

How Is Botox Given?

Botox is a quick and non-invasive procedure. After an initial consultation with a plastic surgeon, you will be given a care plan and be provided with the information necessary to receive treatment. The procedure can last anywhere between 15-45 minutes, depending on the amount of Botox being injected.

How Much Does Botox Cost?

Good news, Botox is not just for movie stars! The cost of treatment has become significantly more affordable in the last two decades. The price is determined by how much Botox is needed to achieve the desired results. Botox injections are measured in units, which allows you to decide on a treatment plan that works within your budget.
