Botox Treatments

Typically, a Botox treatment will take around 15 minutes to perform, making it quite convenient. At the start of your Botox procedure, the areas that are being targeted for treatment will be marked. In some cases, the areas being treated will be numbed for your general comfort.

Once any numbing has taken place, a tiny needle will be used to inject the Botox into the treatment areas. The number of injections that your doctor will administer primarily depends on the areas that are being treated, among other factors. Botox injections rarely cause discomfort in the patient. Instead, you’ll feel tingly at the injection site while the Botox is being administered.

While surgical procedures will often require a patient to take time off of work and experience downtime, injectable treatments do not. You can go about your day right after your Botox procedure. Many patients come in for it during their lunch breaks and then return to work.

Follow your doctor’s post-treatment instructions to the letter. Don’t rub or scratch at the treated areas, as this could lead to the product migrating to different areas of your face and resulting in complications.
