Getting aesthetic treatment with Botox is considered a lunch break protocol and you will not need to take a break from your everyday routine activities. You will experience only minor discomfort; the Botox treatment will not require any anesthesia; however, a local numbing agent helps to ease the discomfort that occurs during the injection procedure.

The procedure also doesn’t require any specific preparations, it is best to avoid alcohol a week before the treatment. Patients should also stop taking aspirin and anti-inflammatory medications two weeks before treatment to avoid getting the risk of complications.

A person in good physical health with realistic expectations from the procedure outcomes and who wants to delay the process and appearance of aging can be an ideal candidate for Botox injectables. During the procedure, the aesthetician uses a small needle to inject the medication into specific areas of concern.

Botox usually takes seven to fourteen days to show its complete effect which will last up to three to six months. The repeated doses of Botox are important to restore the effects. After three to six months, muscles return to their normal activity, and the lines and wrinkles begin to reappear with lesser severity due to muscles shrinkage.

For permanently maintained results, treatment should be repeated after every three to six months. Eventually, muscles train themselves for lesser contractions and the treatments can be spaced over a longer period.

It is vital to have Botox injectable treatment by a certified aesthetic practitioner to avoid the risks and complications associated with the procedure. The common side effects might include pain, redness, swelling, headache, indigestion, eye irritation, drooping eyelids, and flu-like symptoms.
