Botox® Cosmetic at Brevard ENT Center
What Are BOTOX® Injections?
Botox injections are the most commonly performed cosmetic procedure used to reduce or eliminate the appearance of facial wrinkles through minimally invasive injections. These injections are made from botulinum toxin A, a therapeutic muscle-relaxing agent approved by the FDA for several different uses. When injected into the skin, it can block the nerve muscles that are responsible for the repetitive actions that cause fine lines and wrinkles, smoothing them away for a younger and more refreshed appearance.
Treatment Timeline & Results
After treatment, the appearance of your wrinkles begins to improve within 24 hours, with full results developing gradually over the next five days. Most patients achieve their desired results after just one injection, although additional treatment sessions may be required in the future. The results of Botox injections typically last up to four months, with some patients reporting results lasting up to a full year.
Frequently Asked Questions About Botox
How long do Botox results last?
Most patients enjoy results for 3-4 months, though this can vary based on individual factors like metabolism, muscle strength, and injection technique. Some patients experience results lasting up to 6 months, while others may need touch-ups sooner. With regular treatments, many patients find their results last longer over time.
Does Botox hurt?
Most patients describe Botox injections as minimally uncomfortable – similar to a small pinprick or insect bite. The needles used are extremely fine, and the entire treatment takes just minutes. Many patients are surprised by how comfortable the procedure is. Topical numbing cream is available if you're particularly sensitive.
Will I look "frozen" or unnatural?
When performed by skilled medical professionals, Botox results look completely natural. The goal is to soften lines and create a refreshed appearance while maintaining your ability to express emotions naturally. "Frozen" looks typically result from inexperienced injectors or excessive amounts of product.
Can Botox be combined with other treatments?
Absolutely! Botox works beautifully with other aesthetic treatments. Popular combinations include dermal fillers for volume loss, chemical peels for skin texture, and laser treatments for overall skin rejuvenation. We can create a comprehensive treatment plan to address all your aesthetic concerns.
How much does Botox cost?
Botox pricing typically ranges from $10-15 per unit, with most treatment areas requiring 20-60 units depending on the size and severity of wrinkles. During your consultation, we'll provide a detailed cost estimate based on your specific treatment plan. Many patients find Botox to be an affordable way to maintain a youthful appearance.
