Administering BOTOX
BOTOX has become a common nonsurgical, anti-wrinkle treatment. During a treatment, the wrinkle relaxer is injected into facial muscles around the eyes, across the forehead, around the mouth, and along the neck. This treatment paralyzes these muscles allowing the skin to lay flat for an extended period of time, which effectively reduces lines and wrinkles. It can diminish crow’s feet, laugh and frown lines, and other dynamic wrinkles caused by facial muscle contractions. With continued use, the injectable can continue to improve and smoothen fine lines and wrinkles.
What to Expect
The BOTOX treatment will begin with a gentle cleansing of the skin followed by the application of a topical anesthetic to optimize patient comfort during the procedure. Most patients feel a minor sting from the injection, which feels like an insect bite. The treatment will usually take 10 minutes to complete. Patient can return to normal activities immediately following treatment. The results will be visible within 5 to 7 days of treatment, and results can last up to 3 months. If regular treatments are continued, results may tend to last longer between treatments.
Expected Cost
The cost of BOTOX treatments will vary, depending on how many syringes are used. Most practices charge $350 for one full syringe of BOTOX. A treatment session typically takes 1-3 syringes. Therefore, the cost can range between $350-$700 per session.
