This cosmetic injectable can have you looking younger in a matter of days.
If you’ve ever said to yourself, “I wish there were a fast and simple way to get rid of those annoying smile lines,” then you’re in the right place. Our Toledo, OH, dermatologists at Anders Dermatology offer Botox, the most popular cosmetic treatment. This injectable can quickly smooth away fine lines and wrinkles so you look younger.
What is Botox?
Botox offers a simple, nearly painless and nonsurgical solution for smoothing away lines and wrinkles on the face. It provides natural-looking results, making it a perfect option for patients in Toledo, OH, who want to improve their appearance but perhaps aren’t ready to commit to significant and permanent changes fully.
Botox is designed to temporarily minimize dynamic wrinkles and lines by blocking nerve signals from the muscles to the brain to prevent muscle contractions. Since these muscles can’t contract, the wrinkles are instantly smoothed away.
How Is Botox Administered?
Botox consists of a highly purified form of botulinum toxin A. This solution is placed into a series of very thin needles that are then injected into the muscles of the face. Since these needles are so thin, most patients don’t experience anything more than a slight pinch; however, if you are a bit nervous about Botox (especially if it’s your first time), don’t hesitate to talk to us about numbing the area before getting Botox.
How Long Does Treatment Last? Is There a Recovery Period?
Another benefit to getting Botox from our Toledo, OH, cosmetic team is that it only takes a couple of minutes for our dermatologist to administer the injections. There is zero downtime, so you can also go back to work or your routine immediately afterward. Most patients don’t experience anything more than a bit of redness, swelling or tenderness near the injection sites, which goes away in 1-2 days.
When Will I See Results?
Since Botox is a bit different from dermal fillers like Juvederm, you won’t see results right away. It can take up to 3-4 days for Botox to work its magic. You will see full results about one week after treatment, and usually results last 3-4 months (but can last up to 6 months). If you love your results, you can talk to us about getting additional Botox treatments when results begin to fade.
