After your initial consultation with our professional clinicians to determine if BOTOX injections are the right fit for you, we can schedule you for an appointment. Injections usually only last about 15 minutes. A tiny needle will be used to inject the BOTOX into the muscles that cause unwanted lines and wrinkles. The number of injections you will need will depend on the severity of your wrinkles and their location on your face. BOTOX permits patients to immediately return to their day-to-day actives as there is no recovery time. We suggest that you avoid rubbing the injected area, though, so as not to move the botulinum toxin to the alternative area of your face. BOTOX can cause temporary facial weakness or drooping, and some slight bruising has been known to occur at the injection site.
