Botox & Fillers by Groomurrs

Botox: Botox is a drug doctors and estheticians have been using for years to treat wrinkles and facial creases. Botox is a brand name of a toxin made by the bacterium clostridium botulinum. 

How Does Botox Work? Botox blocks signals from the nerves to the muscles. The injected muscle can’t contract. That makes wrinkles relax and soften. Botox is most often used on forehead lines, crow’s feet (lines around the eye), and frown lines. 

How Long Does a Botox Shot Last? The effects from Botox will last 3 to 6 months. As muscle action slowly returns, the lines and wrinkles begin to reappear and need to be treated again. The lines and wrinkles often appear less severe with time because the muscles are shrinking.

After the procedure: Do not rub or massage the treated areas for 24 hours. This may help prevent the toxin from spreading to a different area. You can return to your normal activities right after the procedure.

 Results: Botox injections usually begin working one to three days after treatment. Depending on the problem being treated, the effect may last three months or longer. To maintain the effect, you’ll need regular follow-up injections.

Botox injections take less than 15 minutes. It being such a quick treatment time and no recovery needed, it’s possible to fit Botox injections into even the busiest schedule. Stop in on your way to work, during your lunch break, or while waiting for the kids to finish their piano lesson. The scheduling possibilities are endless.
