What is Botox Treatment? 

Botox, short for Botulinum toxin, is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that involves injecting a purified protein into specific facial muscles. This protein temporarily paralyzes the muscles, reducing their movement and preventing the formation of wrinkles. Botox is commonly used to smooth out fine lines, crow's feet, and frown lines, resulting in a more youthful and refreshed appearance.

What are the Benefits of Botox? 

The benefits of Botox treatment are numerous. Firstly, it effectively reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, giving you smoother and younger-looking skin. Additionally, Botox can help prevent future wrinkles from forming by limiting muscle movement. The procedure is quick, virtually painless, and requires minimal downtime, making it a convenient option for those with busy schedules. Botox can also be used to treat medical conditions such as chronic migraines, excessive sweating, and overactive bladder.

What Not to Do Before and After Botox? 

To ensure the best results from your Botox treatment, there are a few things to keep in mind before and after the procedure. Prior to the treatment, avoid alcohol consumption, blood-thinning medications, and excessive sun exposure. After the treatment, refrain from rubbing or massaging the treated area, as this can cause the toxin to spread to unintended muscles. Staying upright for at least four hours post-treatment and avoiding strenuous exercise for the rest of the day will help prevent the Botox from migrating.

Any Side Effects of Botox Treatment? 

While Botox treatment is generally safe, there may be some mild and temporary side effects. These can include redness, swelling, and bruising at the injection sites. In rare cases, patients may experience drooping of the eyelids or eyebrows, but this is usually temporary and resolves on its own. Our skilled doctors take great care to ensure a precise and safe injection, minimizing the risk of adverse effects.

How Long Does a Botox Treatment Session Take?

 A Botox treatment session is a quick and efficient procedure. The actual injections themselves usually take around 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the areas being treated. This means you can easily fit a session into your busy day and get back to your normal activities shortly after.

What is the Cost of Botox Treatment? 

The cost of Botox treatment varies based on factors such as the number of areas being treated and the amount of Botox required. During your consultation at Maryland Oral Surgery Associates, our doctors will discuss your specific needs and provide you with a customized treatment plan along with an accurate cost estimate.
