But one may wonder: How long does Botox treatment last? And what to expect after the procedure?
Botox treatment works by temporarily freezing the muscles that lead to wrinkles, giving your face a smoother look. The results are usually noticeable within a few days and can last for several months. But keep in mind that everyone’s body is different, so your results may vary.
At Clinica Errami, our experts are skilled in administering Botox treatments that look natural and effective. You’ll notice smoother skin within days.
Botox – Why the hype?
Botox (Botulinum Toxin) is a popular cosmetic treatment that reduces wrinkles and fine lines. The procedure involves injecting a purified form of the toxin into specific facial muscles, temporarily relaxing them. This relaxation smooths out wrinkles, giving the face a more youthful appearance. In fact, there was a significant increase in Botox treatments during 2020.
Botox treatment is often used to treat frown lines between the eyebrows, forehead fine lines, and crow’s feet. It’s a minimally invasive procedure that typically doesn’t require any downtime, making it a pragmatic option for those looking for a quick and effective way to address signs of aging.
Contrary to what some might think, Botox doesn’t plump up your skin.Â
It does this by blocking the signals between nerves and muscles so the muscles in the treated area can’t contract. This is highly effective in smoothing out existing wrinkles and preventing new ones from forming.
At Clinica Errami, we use small doses that specifically target the desired area, ensuring a safe and effective treatment.
A Snapshot of the Procedure
At Clinica Errami, we start by gently cleansing your face and marking the areas where the injections will be applied. To keep you comfortable, we may offer a numbing cream or ice packs.Â
The injections are precisely targeted to specific muscles, and while you might see subtle skin elevations right after, they usually disappear by the time you’re ready to leave.
What to expect after Botox treatment?
Though you may not see immediate results after your Botox treatment, you should begin to notice a smoothing of fine lines within a few days along with significant improvement in skin texture issue. The full effects will become visible after about two weeks.
Your Botox results will last for several months, and when they start to fade, it’ll be time for your next appointment.
Many of our clients at Clinica Errami return every few months for their Botox sessions. With regular treatments, your facial muscles may become accustomed to the relaxation, making the results last even longer each time.
To help maximize the effects of your Botox, it’s important to skip habits that can contribute to wrinkles.
After your Botox treatment, it’s important to follow these aftercare guidelines to ensure optimal results:
This helps prevent the Botox from migrating to unintended areas.
Increased blood flow can impact the treatment area, so it’s best to rest and allow the Botox to settle.
This will minimize the risk of spreading the Botox beyond the intended muscles.
This helps maintain the accuracy of the injections.
These can increase the likelihood of bruising.
These factors can break down collagen in your skin, leading to more wrinkles and compromising your skin’s overall health.
Downtime
Botox is known for its convenience, with most clients returning to their daily activities immediately. However, for best results, avoid lying down, strenuous exercise, or any facial treatments for 24 hours post-treatment.
However, there are a few precautions to take into account for optimal results:
- Avoid Strenuous Activities
- Stay Upright
- Skip Facials or Massages
Side Effects of Botox Treatment
Botox is generally safe, though some common side effects may include temporary swelling, bruising, or redness at the injection site.
How long does Botox treatment last?
At Clinica Errami, our team is well-equipped with the fact that while Botox is highly effective in reducing facial wrinkles and lines, it’s not a permanent solution. Having said that, the longevity of Botox results can vary. However, with regular maintenance sessions, you can keep your desired look for as long as you like!
Botox results typically last 3 to 6 months, after which a follow-up session is recommended to maintain your desired look.
In the case of First-Timers
For first-time Botox clients, our experts recommend using sunscreen and avoiding spa or steam treatments for at least 4 hours.
More about the result-longevity of Botox treatment
Botox provides temporary results as the body eventually breaks down the toxin, allowing muscles to regain movement and wrinkles to reappear. To maintain results, repeat injections or consider alternative treatments like chemical peels or microneedling.
Therefore, our experts ensure spacing the Botox injections at least 12 weeks apart to avoid developing resistance, a rare but growing global issue that can be permanent.
Some handy tips to make your results last longer
What do our experts advise?
To help your Botox treatment last longer, here are some tips to keep in mind:
Selecting a skilled professional who understands facial anatomy ensures accurate Botox placement, reducing the risk of over or under-treatment, which can help the results last longer.
Stay away from activities that cause heavy sweating or increased blood flow to the face, such as hot yoga or saunas, as these can shorten the lifespan of your Botox treatment.
Eating well, getting enough sleep, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption can support the overall health of your skin and muscles, helping your Botox last longer. Avoid caffeinated drinks, and incorporate zinc-rich foods into your daily diet. Moreover, if using diuretics drugs, discuss the same with your doctor.
Sunbeds can age your skin prematurely, reducing the benefits of Botox. If you must use them, consider turning off the facial bulbs, covering your face, or applying SPF50 before use.
How To Know What Your Skin Wants?
Our doctors may also recommend Botox for its therapeutic benefits, particularly in managing conditions like:
- Muscle Relaxation: Botox helps treat medical conditions where muscles contract excessively or at inappropriate times by relaxing those muscles.
- Pain Relief: Botox is effective in releasing specific muscle tension, helping you get relief from locked jaws.
You can expect the fine lines and wrinkles to diminish that have naturally appeared over time. We emphasize natural, subtle enhancements.
