Make the Most of your Botox Experience

By Craig W. Nevilt


It may have taken you some time and research to come to the conclusion that Botox was the right choice for you. Once you've gotten there, it's important to make sure you are as prepared as possible to benefit the most from your procedure. The treatments are quick and uncomplicated. As a result, you should be able to review in detail the procedure you are about to undergo. As you prepare to use Botox to eliminate wrinkles or for one of its many other uses, it's important to be informed about the details of the procedure. And to be prepared to let your physician know what kind of results you are hoping to achieve.

Again, the actual day of the treatment is pretty normal. There is no anaesthesia to take and very little preparation required. When you are with your doctor, you will be asked to sit in a reclining, dentist-like chair. When you know what you want, it will make the procedure more meaningful for you. You will be an active participant. So, you tell your physician you want to achieve this look, and then they may ask you to contract specific muscles, then he or she will mark the injection locations.

Your Face Right After

As soon as the Botox injections are administered, you'll likely have some red dots showing in the area of treatment. Some patients have shown instances of minor bruising or swelling, but this is extremely uncommon. Any marks will fade within a few hours of the procedure. A little make- up will cover any marks in the meanwhile. Since this is a non-surgical procedure, facial scars are not a concern. Doctors recommend using an ice bag on the injection site for a few minutes after the procedure. This should eliminate or reduce any inflammation.

Your doctor should provide you with Botox recovery tips after your Botox procedure has been completed. Be sure to schedule your appointment far enough in advance of an event to enjoy its full effects. The full effect of the treatment will take about a week to fully realize.

How Much Does Botox Cost?

BOTOX Cosmetic treatments are generally quite affordable, which is one of the main reasons for the procedure's international popularity. Depending on the nature of the treatment, a BOTOX session will usually cost between $300 and $400 per syringe. Compared to other anti-wrinkle injectable treatments, Botox is the most affordable. To maintain results, BOTOX patients will have to pay somewhere in that general range every 4-6 months.

Side Effects of Botox

If Botox side effects occur, they're usually temporary, starting within the first week of injection, but sometimes persisting for several months. Depending on where you received the treatment, the side effects could vary. For patients with frown lines, the most common Botox related side effects include:

▪ headache

▪ respiratory infection

▪ flu-like symptoms
