Botox Q & A
How does Botox work?
Botox temporarily blocks signals that are responsible for telling your muscles to contract.
When it’s injected into targeted areas, Botox locally blocks those nerve impulses, making those muscles weakened or paralyzed. This effect allows the skin to relax and smooth out, minimizing the appearance of lines, grooves, and wrinkles.
Botox only affects specific muscles, so all the surrounding muscles perform as they normally would. Because of this, your results are entirely natural-looking — you don’t have to worry about having a “frozen” look.
What does Botox treat?
Botox treatments from Aesthetica Houston Med Spa are entirely personalized to you and any imperfections you’d like to correct. Some of the most in-demand Botox treatment areas include:
- Crow’s feet
- Laugh lines
- Forehead creases
- Neck bands (turkey neck)
- Frown lines between brows
Not only can Botox provide a “liquid facelift” effect, but it also does so in a quick 10-minute procedure. Wrinkles and lines start to disappear within hours of your Botox treatment, giving you optimal results within a couple of days.
Are Botox injections painful?
Botox can cause some stinging, often due to the puncture from the tiny needle. If you’re sensitive to pain, Sarah offers a topical numbing cream you can apply so your entire Botox treatment is as comfortable as possible.
Applying an ice pack to your treatment area on your way to your Botox appointment helps, too.
How long does Botox last?
Although the effects of Botox are only temporary, the results are entirely long-lasting. Most people who undergo Botox treatments at Aesthetica Houston Med Spa find that their optimal results last for at least 3-4 months. You may have longer-lasting effects if you only have finer or less-noticeable lines.
With repeated use, Botox gradually thins out your facial muscles. So over time, your smoother, younger-looking skin lasts even longer.
