What is Botox?

Botox has become a household name as it is popularly used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles as well as treating migraines, reduce sweat production, age prevention, lip flips, and more! By temporarily blocking the body’s signals to the nerves of your facial muscles, Botox relaxes the muscle preventing you from doing the thing that creates the wrinkles the first place giveing you a smoother, look. Botox is a chemical prescription that is derived from Botulinum toxin. Botulinum toxin is a neurotoxic protein that is produced by the Clostridium Botulinum bacteria and related species. Though there are eight types of Botulinum toxin, only Type ‘A’ and type ‘B’ are used commercially in research, medicine, and cosmetics.

The commercial form of Botulinum toxin is marketed as Botox. Cosmetic use of Botulinum toxin type A has become prevalent and recognized for the ability to reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles by relaxing the facial muscles. These injections temporarily paralyze muscle activity by releasing neurotransmitters from the nerve into the muscle. Botox injections are a safe procedure when performed by trained professionals. So even if it may be a surprise to find that Botox is derived from a toxin, rest assured our highly skilled staff are experts in performing the procedure. Botox is one of our top services at St. George Med Spa, so feel free to contact us with any questions you may as we’d be happy to answer them.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT DURING BOTOX TREATMENT?

The aesthetic professionals at St. George Med Spa are well-experienced in this field having over 45 years of experience and offer a safe and relaxing setting to ensure you’re well taken care of. It’s essential that a Botox injection is administered precisely to avoid any possible side effects. Our providers will guide you through the whole procedure before administering the injection, so you’ll know exactly what to expect. Our aesthetic professionals will discuss with you how to best prepare beforehand. You will be advised against the use of blood thinners several days before the procedure to reduce the risk of bruising and bleeding. Before the treatment begins, you will also be informed of how much Botox you are getting and in which areas it will be applied. During the procedure, our aesthetic professional will carefully identify the areas on your face to be treated. A skin is cleaned and sterilized before your injection. A tiny microneedle is used to inject the Botox directly into your facial muscle. Since the needle used is very small, the pain is usually minimal. Ice and pressure can be applied to avoid any swelling in the area.

Botox Recovery

You may start to resume your daily activities immediately after the procedure. However, you will want to avoid strenuous activities and laying down after your injections. You will be given personalized aftercare instructions to avoid any unintended damage or side effects on the skin. Although the side effects of Botox are minimal It may cause a headache which resolves within a day or two. Some patients experience bruising, minor swelling, redness, and numbness caused by improper post-treatment care. We'll make sure you leave knowing exactly what to do to avoid this. A very small percentage of patients experience drooping eyelids which resolve in two to three weeks. These side effects are very common and do not cause any serious damage and do not happen often. We also will ask you not to rub the area as the Botox settles and your body goes through the healing process. You will also be asked not to lie down for four hours following the procedure and not to exercise for the first 24 hours.

Botox Results

The effect of Botox changes from one person to another. Some obtain longer-lasting results while others may see the result diminish sooner than expected. There are many factors that can affect Botox injections and it is essential to follow a Medical Grade skin care routine and a nourishing diet for overall better health and glowing skin to get the most out of your treatment. Botox is not a permanent treatment and it usually lasts around three to four months. Your wrinkles and fine lines will gradually return if treatment is discontinued. For continuous results, you must schedule treatments at regular intervals.

Additional Reading

Several factors can determine how long Botox will last and how many units you may need such as

  • If you have less muscle tone, you may notice the results diminish sooner than those with younger, firmer facial muscles.
  • Smoking has an adverse effect on Botox.
  • Your facial structure and expressions.
  • Your skincare regime, whether you use quality medical-grade skin care products, receive regular aesthetic treatments, facials, and resurfacing methods, can determine the results of Botox.
  • How much sun damage caused by the UV rays also affects the result of Botox.

While these factors may either shorten or lengthen the period of your results, you are always welcome back if you ever feel the need for a touch-up. Schedule an appointment today to learn how you can benefit from some of the most effective Botox St. George offers.

FDA approved Botox for medical and commercial use in 1989. It was first approved to treat various muscle spasms and diseases caused by overactive muscles. Medically, it is also used to treat problems such as excessive sweating, repetitive neck spasms, lazy eyes, overactive bladders, and also helps prevent chronic migraines in some people. Botox is also used to treat lower limb spasticity in pediatric patients and infantile esotropia. Botox for cosmetic use was approved by the FDA in 2002. After a clinical trial, Dr. Richard Clark, a plastic surgeon from Sacramento, California, documented the cosmetic effect of Botulinum-A on wrinkles. A Canadian couple, dermatologist Alastair Carruthers and ophthalmologist Jean Carruthers, were first to publish a study on Botulinum-A. They observed that patients who received injections around the eyes and upper face enjoyed diminished frown lines and diminished lines between the eyebrows. Columbia University observed similar results.
