What happens during Botox Injections in Langhorne?
Provided by our office in Langhorne, Botox injections involve using a toxin produced by a bacterium to paralyze muscle activity which, in turn, fades wrinkles. The toxin in the injection blocks the nerve signals that control muscle contraction, making muscles relax for an extended time. Here is what you can expect before, during, and after the treatment:
- Before Procedure – For Botox injections, the specialists first clean the face or the treatment area. Then they apply a topical anesthetic (numbing cream) to minimize any discomfort.
- During the Procedure – The procedure typically involves a series of tiny injections into the targeted muscle. You may experience a pinching sensation, but the process is usually not painful. The number and location of injections depend on the specific treatment area and the desired outcome. The Botox procedure takes around 20-45 minutes to complete.
- After the procedure – Slight swelling, redness, and bruising are common after getting a Botox injection. However, these effects decrease within a few hours or one to two days. Typically, the effects of the treatment appear after 3-4 days of getting Botox injections and can last for 3-6 months. After this, the muscle activity gradually returns to normal. However, because it is so quick and relatively painless, it is still a highly beneficial procedure.
Generally, Botox is used on the forehead, glabella (between the eyebrows), and around the eyes.
