What is Botox?

Botox, Xeomin, and Dysport are aesthetic injectables that consist of a safe, FDA-approved substance called botulinum toxin type A, which relaxes treated tissues and stimulates new cell growth. Botox also reduces lines caused by laughing, smiling, frowning, and other facial expressions.

Cosmetic injectables are highly effective for creating a younger look without surgery, harsh treatments, pain, or downtime.

Which conditions can Botox treat?

Botox can treat the following:

• Wrinkles
• Lax skin
• Crow’s feet
• Smile lines
• Laugh lines
• Forehead lines
• Other signs of aging
• Lazy eye
• Eye twitching

These injections also help reduce headaches, migraines, and excessive underarm sweating.

Am I a candidate for Botox?

To determine if you’re a candidate for Botox, Xeomin, Dysport, dermal fillers, or more than one type of cosmetic injection, the Church Street Medical Center and Aesthetics experts discuss your goals and examine your skin. They also review your medical history and treatment preferences. 

In addition to cosmetic injections, Church Street Medical Center and Aesthetics also provides laser hair removal, intravenous (IV) hydration therapy, microneedling, PDO threading, radiofrequency treatments, and medical weight management. 

The practice provides physicals, chronic disease management, sick visits, wellness exams, and many other internal medicine services. 

What can I expect during Botox injections?

Before your injections, the Church Street Medical Center and Aesthetics experts clean the treatment area and may numb it to optimize comfort. Your specialist injects botulinum substances just under your skin in specific areas. Each injection lasts just a minute or two, though you often receive multiple injections during your visit.

What are the side effects associated with Botox injections?

After you receive Botox injections, you can resume a normal daily routine right away. The treatment makes an excellent lunchtime procedure. Common temporary side effects include redness or swelling at the injection site. You may ice the treatment area to minimize any swelling.

The effects of Botox injections often take a few days to appear and typically last 3-5 months. You can schedule repeat Botox, Xeomin, and Dysport injections as needed to maintain a youthful appearance.
