Understanding Botox
Botox is the trade name for Botulinum toxin. The toxin comes as a purified protein that interrupts the communication between nerves and muscles. The muscles are no longer able to contract and begin to weaken, soften, and shrink along with the lines associated with them.
Botox can reduce the appearance of wrinkles by causing temporary paralysis. Muscles do not lose any feeling, but their nerve endings cannot communicate with them, which causes muscle contraction to slow or stop. Botox is not a facial filler and does not fill in wrinkles. Instead, injections prevent muscle cells from contracting and help to also relax stiff muscles.
“Botox can reduce the appearance of wrinkles by causing temporary paralysis.”
Determining Botox Candidacy
Botox is an excellent option for those who want an effective yet minimally invasive cosmetic treatment. This popular treatment has high patient satisfaction rates in improving facial appearance and reducing signs of aging. Botox is low-risk yet effective and does not involve downtime for recovery like cosmetic surgery does.
According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, there were 7.23 million Botox procedures performed in 2017. Botox may be the right treatment for patients who first start to notice moderate lines on the face, typically after age 30 or so. However, everyone's facial lines form differently due to a combination of factors, including genetics and the environment. Patients should be healthy and not pregnant or breastfeeding. People with allergies to any of the ingredients, muscle or nerve conditions, or active infections may not be good candidates for this treatment.

Cosmetic and Medical Usage of Botox
Depending on the patient's needs, Botox can help with either cosmetic or medical purposes. Botox injections are one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in the nation. Injections can reduce wrinkles around the eyes and mouth; on the forehead and chin; and between the eyebrows.
Medical professionals also use Botox to treat some medical conditions. In particular, injections can treat conditions that affect the neuromuscular system. The FDA has approved Botox treatment for conditions like chronic migraines, eyelid spasms, hyperhidrosis, and cervical dystonia.

The Injection Process
Although most people do not experience much discomfort while receiving Botox injections, there is the option to have the skin numbed beforehand. During the injection process, we use a fine needle to inject specific wrinkles or trouble spots. The injection process is both an art and a science to administer the treatment to the correct spots and produce optimal results.
The number of injections varies on factors like the extent of the treated area. Typically, each treated muscle received one to three injections. Patients generally experience minimal discomfort during the treatment, and side effects are not common.

The Recovery Period
The effects of Botox treatment can last up to 6 months, depending on the patient's case and maintenance. Although there is no recovery time for Botox treatments and patients may resume normal activities after the procedure, it is a good idea to understand safe practices in order to attain maximum results.
Upon completion of Botox treatment, patients should refrain from rubbing or itching the injected area for at least 4 hours. They should not exercise or move vigorously for 24 hours and keep their head in an upright position for at least the first 4 hours. Individualized instructions will be given to each patient promptly after treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Are there side effects to receiving Botox?
A. Botox is a low-risk option when administered by a medical professional. There are some possible side effects like temporary bruising, headache, and eyelid drooping. An article by the Mayo Clinic advises patients to avoid rubbing or massaging treated areas for one day not to spread the toxin elsewhere.
Q. Is the Botox injection uncomfortable?
A. Most patients find the treatment slightly uncomfortable rather than painful. The medical professional administering the treatment may apply some temporary measures to minimize discomfort, like a cold pack. Patients may resume their normal activities immediately after receiving the injection.
Q. How much does Botox cost?
A. The cost of Botox varies according to different factors. The treatment purpose, provider, location, and dosage are all factors to consider. For example, a subtle lift requires fewer units of Botox than a deeply wrinkled area.
Q. Does my insurance cover Botox?
A. Insurance policies cover Botox treatment in some cases. The guidelines vary according to the reason for the procedure. Patients should review their plans and talk with their insurance company before the appointment.
Q. Can anyone get Botox?
A. Patients who are breastfeeding, pregnant, or allergic to cow's milk protein should not receive Botox treatment. People who have a neurological disease are also not good candidates for this treatment. Minors younger than 18 typically cannot get injections without a parent's permission.
