Botox injections are performed without anesthesia because they’re virtually painless. Only a very small sting is felt when the injections are made.
The effects aren’t permanent and may need to be repeated two to three times per year to retain the effects. Research has suggested, however, that long term use of the injections leads to a longer duration of each treatment’s effect.
Patients over the age of 65 may not experience such dramatic results. BOTOX® is only useful in treating expression lines and cannot be used to repair sagging skin caused by aging.
After the treatment, patients may experience slight bruising around the area that quickly fades. You may want to avoid exercise and lying down for a few hours after your injections. BOTOX® is completely reversible so side effects are only temporary. The doctor will explain all risks associated at the time of your consultation.
