Botox injections can create a more youthful and refreshed appearance by temporarily reducing the visibility of wrinkles and fine lines. Specifically, it works by relaxing the muscles that cause facial expressions, which can lead to:
Smoother Forehead: Reduces horizontal lines on the forehead.
Fewer Frown Lines: Softens the vertical lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines).
Softer Crow's Feet: Minimizes the lines around the eyes that appear with smiling or squinting.
Elevated Eyebrows: Can create a slight lift in the eyebrows, giving a more open and alert look.
The effects typically last for three to six months, and the treatment is non-invasive, making it a popular choice for those seeking a subtle enhancement without surgery. However, results can vary based on individual factors, including skin type and the skill of the injector.
Botox injections are provided in person. We met with our patients in our Dundalk, MD office. Botox injections are generally safe, but they can have side effects. Common side effects include:
Pain at the Injection Site: Mild discomfort or bruising where the injections are administered.
Headaches: Some people may experience headaches after treatment.
Temporary Weakness: Muscle weakness near the injection site, which can affect facial expression.
Drooping Eyelids or Brows: If the injection affects nearby muscles, it may cause temporary drooping.
Allergic Reactions: Rarely, some individuals may have an allergic reaction, which can include itching or rash.
Flu-like Symptoms: Some people report mild flu-like symptoms after treatment.
Most side effects are temporary and resolve within a few days to weeks. It's important to discuss any concerns with a qualified healthcare provider before undergoing treatment.
