How Does BOTOX® Work?
BOTOX works by blocking the nerve signals to the target muscle that causes wrinkles. It is popular for treating wrinkles caused by facial expressions and can have results that last up to a year.
Effectiveness is one of the main reasons why BOTOX is the most popular anti-wrinkle injection treatment in Charleston. The effects of BOTOX are much stronger, more dramatic, and longer lasting compared to over-the-counter products. Over-the-counter creams and serums only penetrate the most superficial layers of the skin, which are primarily composed of dead skin cells. These over-the-counter treatments are not strong enough to make any lasting improvement or impact on your skin issues.
Your BOTOX® Injection Appointment
Like most injection procedures, the BOTOX injection itself will be quick. Your appointment will last a few minutes or more, depending on how many treatment areas you choose. Most sessions will take less than half an hour to complete and can be easily scheduled over lunch.
Before BOTOX, your Charleston injector will cleanse the target area and may apply a topical anesthetic to numb the area–in many cases, the topical anesthetic is unnecessary. Our team then carefully and precisely injects the BOTOX into the treatment area.
Following the BOTOX injection, we will cleanse the treatment area again. In most cases, patients see results immediately when they leave our clinic. BOTOX has no downtime or recovery time whatsoever. Almost all our patients can return back to their work or social life immediately after their treatment.
Will My BOTOX® Results Be Permanent?
The age-defying results of your BOTOX injections in Charleston can last you several months, but they will not be permanent.
This is a good thing. In fact, one of the advantages of BOTOX is that the body naturally degrades and absorbs it–this is why it does not last longer. The ability of BOTOX to be safely broken down in your body ensures that you do not have synthetic chemicals floating around in your body forever.
To continue seeing the benefits of BOTOX, our Charleston medical team recommends scheduling maintenance appointments every three months or as needed.
