WHAT IS BOTOX COSMETIC?
Botox Cosmetic is an injectable wrinkle muscle relaxer. Small doses of Botox (botulinum toxin product typeA) are injected through tiny needles at precise points in your face to smooth the appearance of dynamic lines and wrinkles, the kind that are caused by your everyday facial expressions over time. Moreover, this works by inhibiting the nerve signal that causes muscles to contract, leaving your skin naturally smoother and younger-looking. Botulinum toxin product (Type A).
We mix fresh all our Botox on a daily basis and performed by Dr. Bacha himself. Moreover, Fadi Bacha MD, has been performing Botox treatment for over 17 years.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Botox Cosmetic is injected into muscles, where it blocks nerve impulses to those tissues. Therefore, the muscle activity that causes the frown lines is reduced, and a smoother look results. Moreover, without a contracting muscle beneath it, the skin has a difficult time wrinkling. Facial lines that exist when your face is totally relaxed are not very good candidates. However, Dermal fillers are a better treatment for these lines. Botox can frequently “soften” these lines but not always get rid of them.

Botox Cosmetic involves a nonsurgical, in-office treatment. It requires minimal preparation. Dr. Bacha will collect all of the information about your medical history, any allergic reactions, or medical conditions before your procedure. Dr. Bacha recommends that patients remove any makeup and cleanse their treatment area before the procedure. Dr. Bacha also recommends avoiding blood-thinning medicine like aspirin to reduce the risk of bruising.
Potential Botox side effects include pain at the injection site, infection, inflammation, swelling, redness, bleeding, and bruising. However, some of these symptoms may indicate an allergic reaction; other allergy symptoms include itching, wheezing, asthma, a rash, red welts, dizziness, and faintness. In some cases, dry mouth, fatigue, headache, dry eyes, or neck pain may occur. However, muscle spasms in the area of the Botox injections do not occur while the Botox is effective.
First of all, avoid rubbing, massaging, or applying any pressure to the treated area. These actions can cause Botox Cosmetic to spread to other areas of the body. This can negatively affect your results. If your treatment involves any injections between the brows, do not lie down or bend over for three to four hours. Doing so may cause the Botox to slip under the orbital rim. This could possibly cause drooping eyelids. There is little to no downtime expected after the treatment. Therefore, you should be able to resume normal activities immediately in most cases. It’s important to understand possible improvements and have realistic expectations. Patients usually start seeing results within 1-2 days post-treatment. The full effect of Botox Cosmetic typically lasts up to four months. It can also help prevent the return of fine lines by relaxing the muscles.
