Botox injections are primarily noted to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and facial wrinkles. However, they are also used to treat medical conditions like neck spasms, excessive sweating, overactive bladder, lazy eye and may also help to prevent chronic migraines in many patients. Botox injections, which are also known as onobotulinumtoxinA are an injection that temporarily prevents a muscle from moving. Botox injections are primarily used at Alan Wellness Center as a facial injection to help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Once your treatment is completed you may begin to see the effects of the injection around one to three days later Depending on the problem area we are treating, the effect can last anywhere up to three months or longer. This product is not a permanent solution, you will need maintenance injections to continue seeing the effects Botox offers. The majority of areas that Botox injections are used to treat are: - Forehead lines - Frown lines - Crow’s feet - Bunny lines - Smoker’s lines - Marionette lines - Chin dents - Vertical platysma bands - Brow lift Our Botox treatments are done with minimal discomfort, and the treatment requires no anesthesia or recovery time during or after treatment. Many of our patients that have received the Botox injection treatment get them during their lunch hours and have the ability to return to work immediately after their appointment. We often get asked when you should start receiving Botox treatments to help with aging, there is no right or wrong age to start getting Botox injections. All of our patients are evaluated prior to receiving a Botox injection treatment. We have noticed an increase in clients starting in their early twenties when they notice fine lines and wrinkles starting, they get this treatment as a preventative measure moving forward.
