How long do the results last after receiving Botox treatments from HealthyLooks in Kansas City?
In short, the consensus is that Botox is the quickest and most effective way to reduce wrinkles and clear up signs of aging. While there are several iterations on today’s cosmetic market, Botox still tops the list. The rest of this article will help you understand why that’s so.
What are Botox Treatments? What do they Correct?
Whenever you visit us for Botox, our first objective would be to determine which areas would benefit from treatment. This is usually the area around the face that gives frown lines, crow’s feet, and the forehead. It can also involve TAOs, lip lines, and other problems spots many people experience.
Basics of Administering Botox
We prepare the injection with a chill pack to make everything comfortable before inserting the needle (a very small, 32-gauge one). Ordinarily, when we administer Botox, it’ll sting slightly for just a few minutes afterwards, and may look somewhat red like a mosquito bite. However, once you get home, those symptoms will disappear. It’s rare to even suffer a bruise from these injections.
Botox – Heals Fast; Very Little Recovery Needed
Following that, it will take about two to five days for the Botox to have the intended effect. That’s how long it takes the neurotoxin to bind to the junction of the nerve and the muscle in the face. Remember, its purpose is to relax the muscle, which had been over-active because of certain facial mannerisms.
So, after five days, you should see the full effect of Botox. The peak results are after about two weeks, and the substance wears off after around 3 ½ to four months.
Botox Treatments – Popular with Three Kinds of Patients
Who is the ideal patient for Botox injection?
We get most of our business from three customer types.
- Once-a-Year Clients – Many patients will try Botox, perhaps as a cosmetic novelty or experiment, about once a year, often as a birthday or Christmas present.
- Repeat Patients – Other clients will visit us regularly as part of a cosmetic maintenance program. Since the results lessen after 3 ½ months, these individuals will consistently return at around that time to renew Botox.
- Tension Headache/Migraine Sufferers – There are also younger folks who suffer severe tension headaches (caused by their facial muscles). Botox can help relieve those symptoms quite well.
The wrinkle doesn’t automatically come back within three or four months, but that’s often when Botox starts to fade, followed by your face returning to its previous form.
Are there folks who struggle to see good results from Botox?
Sometimes, this particular neurotoxin doesn’t work as well with athletes who might metabolize it faster than average. It’s common for personal trainers and active individuals to lose some of their Botox because of heavy blood flow and heat perspiration from exercise.
