Experience the Benefits of
BOTOX® Injections in Columbus, OH
Are you dealing with fine lines and wrinkles in high-movement areas? These are caused by muscle movements, also known as dynamic wrinkles, and can be easily prevented and minimized with BOTOX® Cosmetic, a neurotoxin best known for its ability to relax and diminish dynamic wrinkles in various treatment areas. At MediZen Institute, we offer expert BOTOX® treatments that are tailored to your unique needs and facial anatomy to reduce dynamic wrinkles safely and effectively.
What are BOTOX® Treatments?
BOTOX® is one of the most famous injectables and has been in use for decades. It contains botulinum toxin A, a form of the neurotoxin botulinum. When injected into the facial muscles, it temporarily paralyzes them by sending a signal to your brain. The lack of movement, both voluntary and involuntary, works to relax the facial muscles, thus smoothing away present wrinkles and preventing new ones from forming.
Common uses for BOTOX® include treating forehead wrinkles, such as frown and expression lines, crow’s feet, and smile lines. With its versatility, it can be used to treat lines and wrinkles on other parts of the face and neck, and even address things like headaches and hyperhidrosis, also known as excessive sweating.
How Do BOTOX® Injections Work?
BOTOX® works as a wrinkle relaxer by paralyzing the injected facial muscles. As a neurotoxin, it blocks the release of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which activates your muscles. Once in the injected muscle, the botulinum toxin stops acetylcholine from activating in the targeted location, relaxing the muscle while simultaneously paralyzing it.
Once they’ve been paralyzed, the muscles become unable to contract. This smooths out dynamic wrinkles and creates a more rejuvenated and youthful look. BOTOX® takes anywhere from three days to a little over a week to start showing its effects, and it typically lasts for at least three to four months. This time period can vary based on the treated muscles, individual metabolism, volume of BOTOX® used, and whether it’s a first-time treatment.
Recovery and Aftercare
As a nonsurgical injectable, recovery and aftercare following BOTOX® is generally straight forward and typically requires minimal attention. While most patients can resume their normal activities immediately, it’s important to avoid vigorous exercises and activities that may result in excessive motion and sweating for 24 hours following treatment.
After your BOTOX® injections, you may have some mild side effects like redness, injection site bruising, and swelling. These are normal and should resolve naturally within several days.
Other important guidelines to help ensure the best results will be individually tailored to you during a consultation. We recommend avoiding massaging and rubbing the treated area for at least a day after treatment, which also includes using heat or cold exposure at the injection site. Avoid makeup application and sun exposure. If you must go outdoors, use sunscreen applied with a gentle hand to avoid further swelling.
