What is Botox?

Botox is derived from the botulism toxin and is designed to treat forehead lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines. As a neuromodulator, Botox reduces your muscle activity from making repeated movements and thereby decreasing visible signs of aging. Botox works by preventing facial nerves that send a signal to your facial muscles. During your consultation, your doctor will design a treatment plan that may include maintenance treatments for long-lasting optimal results.

What are the benefits of Botox?

Botox benefits include:

  • Reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
  • Offering a non-surgical wrinkle alternative to surgical procedures.
  • An anti-aging treatment that provides younger and smoother skin and boosts confidence.

There are alternative neuromodulators or dermal fillers to consider for patients who are allergic to Botox. Your doctor will discuss all your options to determine what is in your best interest.

Am I a good candidate for Botox?

Before receiving Botox treatments, your skin mustn’t have an active infection or breakout. Your doctor will provide you with pre-treatment instructions for a safe treatment. Patients need to refrain from taking aspirin, blood thinners, or anything that causes bleeding if cut. In addition, you must avoid tobacco products and alcohol before and after your treatment to prevent swelling and bruising. During your consultation, it is essential to be upfront with your medical history so your doctor can customize a treatment plan that is right for you.

Your Botox Procedure

Your Botox treatment in Virginia Beach takes about 15 to 20 minutes but may take longer if a topical numbing cream is used. The Botox is injected with a fine needle into the discussed treated areas. Some areas will need more injections than others, but your doctor knows your treatment plan and desired aesthetic goals.

Botox Recovery & Results

There is little to no downtime with Botox, and most patients can return to work or resume their daily activities. However, your doctor may advise you to avoid strenuous exercise for a few hours to prevent the Botox from migrating to other facial areas. You should see your results in one to three days, and results can last up to four months.

BotoxFrequently Asked Questions

What are the risks?

Although Botox is proven safe and effective for treating wrinkles, some risks include swelling, bruising at the injected site, slight pain, headaches, and facial asymmetry.

How much does it cost?

The cost of treatment varies with each patient. Your doctor assesses your facial concerns and customizes a treatment plan that meets your needs and beauty goals.

Does my insurance cover it?

Botox is an elective cosmetic treatment and is typically not covered by insurance. For some patients, Botox is considered medically necessary to treat urinary incontinence, excessive sweating, and headaches. However, discussing your coverage options with your insurance provider is advised.

What is the difference between Botox and dermal fillers?

While injectables and dermal fillers effectively treat fine lines and wrinkles, dermal fillers are designed to add volume to facial areas that have experienced volume loss due to aging. In contrast, Botox stops the facial muscle from contracting for an overall smoother look.

What is the difference between Botox & Dysport?

Botox and Dysport are very similar products made by two different companies, much like Coke and Pepsi. There are subtle differences between them in terms of onset speed, duration, and cost. Your provider will help determine which is better suited for you during your consultation.
