Botox® can be injected into areas like the underarms to block nerve signals that stimulate sweat glands, thereby reducing excessive sweating.
Botox® is an FDA-approved injectable treatment that uses onabotulinumtoxinA to temporarily relax targeted muscles by blocking nerve signals. This muscle relaxation smooths out dynamic wrinkles, such as those caused by repetitive facial expressions, leaving the skin looking smoother and more youthful. Beyond its cosmetic applications, Botox® is also effective for treating specific medical conditions, including chronic migraines, overactive bladder, and excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis).
Botox® is often used to treat wrinkles and fine lines in the upper face, including forehead lines, frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines), and crow’s feet around the eyes. It can also enhance facial symmetry, minimize the visibility of neck bands, and lift the corners of the mouth.
The effects of Botox® last between 3-4 months, depending on the individual and the treatment area. Over time, the treated muscles gradually regain activity, and wrinkles may reappear. Maintenance treatments every few months can support sustained results, and some individuals find that the effects last longer with repeated use.
Botox® requires little to no downtime, making it a practical choice for individuals with busy schedules. Most patients can go back to their routines following the procedure. However, to ensure the best results, it’s advised to avoid rubbing or massaging the treated sites, lying down for at least 4 hours, and doing strenuous activities for 24 hours.
Good candidates for Botox® include individuals in good health who want to reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles or address specific medical conditions. This treatment is suitable for a broad range of ages, from those in their late 20s or 30s seeking preventative treatments to older individuals looking to smooth existing wrinkles.
Results from Botox® normally begin to appear within 3-5 days after treatment, with full effects evident in about 10-14 days. The timeline may vary depending on factors such as the treatment area, individual response, and the dosage used.
