The BOTOX Cosmetic Procedure Process
Even if the administration of BOTOX seems like a simple procedure, it has to be done by qualified personnel. The medical professional performing the procedure must be licensed, trained, and prepared to perform in the best conditions using the actual BOTOX product from Allergan. At the clinic you hope to undergo the procedure, you should also find consultants who will provide you more information about the treatment. For those interested in a BOTOX treatment for furrows, frown lines, crow’s feet, or to modify the jawline, the following information can be useful.
The duration of a standard BOTOX injection treatment is approximately 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the area to be injected, the problem to be corrected and the individual. This time really varies on a number of factors, however it is one of the fastest treatments in terms of a nonsurgical cosmetic solution, and it really is quite simple. Most patients find the treatment to be fast, easy and relatively painless when a topical anesthetic is applied prior to the injection.
Before any procedure, including a BOTOX injection, a physician or consultant from the clinic you’ve selected will have a discussion with you. This is done to know a patient’s expectations of their treatment, and to make sure it’s suitable. If, after a set of analyses of your health and skin, the consultant determines that a BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment is not suitable for you, together another solution for your problem will most likely be presented.
If the consultant decides that a BOTOX Injection treatment is what you need, then it is time to prepare for your treatment. If you’ve selected the right clinic, there is no need to worry, because the treatment will be done by a physician or registered nurse licensed to administer BOTOX® Cosmetic, in the safest conditions possible and using sterile equipment. The treated area will most likely be numbed before the injection so you won’t feel any pain during the treatment.
The nice thing about BOTOX® injections is that after the treatment you don’t need any recovery, so you can continue the daily activities from the moment you walk out of the clinic. The only things you may be required to do is to stay away from alcohol for a couple of days, and to stay upright for 3-4 hours after your procedure is done. Other post-treatment recommendations will be given to you.
About the risk of side effects, you should know that this is close to 0 if you do the treatment in the right environment and it is performed by the right medical professional. The common side effects of this procedure are only temporary, such as redness, headaches, swelling or bruising, You should contact your physician immediately if you have trouble with breathing, swallowing or speaking, blurred vision, weakened muscles, because these are some of the more serious side effects of a BOTOX® injection.
A BOTOX® injection treatment can last up to 4 months, depending on how your body reacts to the treatment, and don’t be scared if the result won’t be visible right after the treatment, because it does take a few days for results to appear.
