Wouldn’t it be great if you could look as young as you feel on the inside? Everyone wants that, which is why a large number of people are now turning to cosmetic injection procedures to rejuvenate their skin and youth. One of the most popular skin rejuvenation techniques is Botox injections, often performed at a medical spa like B.A.R.E Essentials to bring you a fabulous combination of medical science and cosmetic beauty.
What does a Medical Botox treatment involve?
Botox is a non-surgical treatment option that involves administering a natural, purified fat into muscles using a fine needle. The active ingredient, onabotulinumtoxinA, comes from bacteria manufactured under sterile lab conditions.
It is a popular treatment method used as a cosmetic tool to remove facial fine lines and wrinkles. It is known to reduce the appearance of frown lines, forehead wrinkles, horizontal forehead lines, laugh lines, crow’s feet, etc., by relaxing the facial muscles. It can manage all types of deep lines in the facial tissue.
What many people do not know is that Botox also has a medical purpose. It is a non-surgical procedure used for treating conditions like cervical dystonia or neck spasms, hyperhidrosis or excessive sweating, lazy eye, overactive bladder, chronic pain, etc. It is also used to prevent migraine attacks. However, it has been used for cosmetic purposes for many years now.
Botox treatment takes only about 10 minutes to perform, with minimal discomfort and a slight stinging sensation in the first few seconds. No downtime is required for this, and you can go back to your normal activities after the treatment.
The medical practitioner recommends the dose based on the severity of your condition. When used for cosmetic purposes, the depth of the facial lines also influences the dosage. Only licensed medical Spa Esthetician with extensive experience should be trusted for the procedure.
Are Esthetician Botox injections Safe to Get?
Many people believe that Botox can be harmful. The fact is that Botox can only be harmful in the hands of amateur practitioners who are not trained or experienced and do not know how to administer Botox properly. It should also not be administered in extremely large doses. We also put together this guide on Tips before getting cosmetic injections.
However, in the hands of a pro, Botox is given in small doses, and the procedure is absolutely safe. We would say not to pay heed to the representations of people taking Botox in pop culture. The portrayals of characters with disfigured faces and frozen expressions are not accurate.
Yes, Botox does freeze target muscles, but when administered in low doses, you will not have to experience numbness in your entire face or even large areas of it. Nor will you lose facial functions like smiling or eyebrow movements. It will only smoothen your wrinkles without making changes to your face or its structure.
During the procedure, too, you will hardly feel any discomfort, except maybe some pinching sensation that goes away after a few seconds. The stinging sensation occurs because of the usage of needles, and Botox has to be injected. However, it is only temporary.
What can I expect after treatment?
After Botox is injected, you can experience some tingling and pinching, which will disappear within a few seconds. You may also notice some small reddish swellings. These usually subside within about half an hour. Some people also experience mild bruising, which gets resolved within a couple of days. We specialize in botox treatments and can help you look your best.
Avoid any over-the-counter medications like aspirin, ibuprofen, etc., and stick to the prescription of your doctor to minimize bruising. It is also possible for you to experience some headaches, though it is an extremely rare side effect. If it happens, you may take medicine like Tylenol as instructed by your physician.
You may start to notice the results of this treatment after three days, but it may take as long as 2 weeks to show its full effects. You may need to go back to your doctor after the first round of treatment because it is possible that the results will be partial after the first injection set. The effects, however, will last for 3-4 months and are, therefore, not permanent. The effects will start to slow down after 2.5 weeks.
There are also certain precautions you should take after your first treatment. You should not at all massage your face after the treatment as it may lead to manipulation of the protein that has been injected. This will lead to the spreading of the protein to unwanted areas. In fact, you should avoid exercising or touching your face for up to four hours after the treatment.
If you don’t see immediate results, don’t worry. Botox will not work like magic. So, instead, monitor your face every day and check the changes. Try out different facial expressions like smiling, frowning, creasing your eyebrows, wrinkling your forehead, etc. Check the treated site regularly.
It is essential for you to stay on schedule for follow-up treatments. This will ensure that you get to maintain your youthful look. For the first few months, you will not need to worry at all and can enjoy your newfound youth and the confidence that comes with it.
