Botox injection procedure and what to expect
The Botox injection procedure
Patients who are new to Botox have questions about what to expect. The Botox injection procedure may seem simple at first sight, but in reality, it requires a skilled touch, a sense of artistry, and an in-depth understanding of facial anatomy to achieve the best results. Dr. Amanda Lloyd uses small, precise doses of Botox to help relax the facial muscles that contribute to wrinkle formation, allowing your skin time to smooth out and recover from these repetitive muscle movements gradually.- After consulting with you about your concerns and evaluating your skin, Dr. Lloyd will use a very thin needle to inject very small amounts of Botox (botulinum toxin) into the targeted areas.
- The number of necessary injections will depend on the size of the area being treated, whether you have had the area treated before, the depth and extent of wrinkles, and other factors that Dr. Lloyd carefully considers.
- Most patients are done with their treatment in just 15 minutes or less.
- After your treatment, you can resume your normal daily activities right away with no downtime. However, you should avoid massaging or rubbing the treated area because it can cause the botulinum toxin to move to another area of your face.
- Repeating injections at periodic intervals will help you maintain your results. Patients typically need fewer injections over time.
