Botox Injections in Phoenix & Glendale, Arizona
Botox is a commonly performed cosmetic procedure for the treatment of fine lines and wrinkles. This lunch time procedure has little down time and often takes less than
20 minutes.
Before the botox injections, your face will be rinsed and the site of the injections is marked with fine pen. Even though most people are afraid of botox injections
for fear of pain- this is not true when it comes to Botox. The injections are done with very fine needles and the amount injected is so minute that there is no pain. The
tingling feeling lasts a few seconds and there is no pain afterwards.
The number of Botox injections one requires depends on the skin condition and the extent of
the problem. Those who have lots of wrinkles, usually require more injections. At most, most individuals may require from 8-12 injections. Once the injections are
completed, one can go back to work.
There is minimal after care required except to keep the injected site clean and one should avoid rubbing the area. The full
benefits of Botox injections do not appear immediately and may take anywhere from 4-10 days. Botox is not a permanent cure for wrinkles and additional injections are required
in the future. The wrinkle-free look after Botox injections lasts about 2-3 months.
Botox injections are usually performed by physicians or other health care professionals.
Because of the lure of easy money, many non health care professional also perform Botox injections. For your safety, it is essential you get your injections from a reputable
clinic or physician.
