Botox Q&A
What is Botox?
Botox is an FDA-approved injectable cosmetic treatment to reduce the appearance of wrinkles around your eyes and on your forehead.
The injections temporarily paralyze the tiny facial muscles that pull your skin into folds when you smile or frown. As these muscles stop moving, the skin covering them relaxes, and your wrinkles fade away.
What happens when I have Botox?
The team begins with a consultation to determine the best treatment to resolve your skin concerns. They plan the precise locations for your injections.
Botox treatments are relatively quick outpatient treatments. The team can complete your Botox injections in as little as 10 minutes.
Depending on your skin concerns our provider might recommend additional therapies, including chemical peels or radiofrequency resurfacing treatments, in addition to botox.
Injectable treatments aren’t painful. You might feel a slight pinch from the needle. If you have sensitive skin or are nervous about needles, ask your provider about a numbing cream.
When should I start to have Botox?
When to begin having Botox treatments is a personal decision. Some patients start treatments when they are unhappy about the appearance of their wrinkles. Other patients start to have Botox before lines appear to prevent them from forming in the first place.
The team at Orange Coast Dermatology offers Botox treatments for anyone 18 or older. During your consultation, you discuss your skin concerns, and the team recommends the best therapies to help you achieve your desired results.
