BOTOX TREATMENT IN Scranton, PA
Best BOTOX TREATMENT in Scranton, pa
Treating fine lines and wrinkles is now made possible with non-surgical options like Botox injections. Botox works by minimizing muscle activity in areas prone to wrinkling, helping to rejuvenate your skin leaving you with a youthful and vibrant appearance. Our providers work with you to give the exact look you desire.
What Is BOTOX treatment?
Many fear what Botox is actually made out of and how it reacts with your body. Botox is a neuromodulator made from a purified form of Botulinum toxin, which is carefully processed to ensure safety and efficacy. When injected in small, controlled doses by our professional nurse injectors, Botox injections safely release specific muscles, reducing wrinkles without affecting overall facial expressions.
Common Questions About BOTOX
How does BOTOX work?
Botox works by reducing muscle movement under the skin, which is the real cause of wrinkles. Wrinkles are essentially folds of skin that are caused by the muscles under the skin contracting thousands and thousands of times, eventually "etching" in wrinkles in their fold points. You can notice this by looking in the mirror and raising your eyebrows-you will see lines form where the skin wrinkles on your forehead! Botox works to block the nerve signals in these muscles, thereby stopping the formation of these wrinkles.
DO BOTOX INJECTIONS HURT?
At Proyecto Belleza, your comfort is our priority. Most clients experience minimal discomfort, describing it as a brief pinch. Some clients don't mind it at all, while others prefer to use our stress balls during the procedure. Our experienced providers ensure the process is as comfortable as possible.
HOW MANY UNITS OF BOTOX DO I NEED?
The number of units needed depends on "How much residual movement you are okay with?" With Botox injections, the number of units correlates with the reduction in movement. Some people prefer to have NO muscle movement left, and some people prefer to retain more movement (in order to be more expressive). During your consultation, we'll help determine the right amount for your desired results.
HOW LONG DOES BOTOX LAST?
Generally speaking, you can expect BOTOX to have a VERY NOTICEABLE effect for 2-3 months, and after this, you will see the diminishing effect until, usually, NO effect is seen at the 5-month mark. Remember that
DOSE = DURATION
The more units of Botox you receive per area, the longer it works.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FOR BOTOX TO WORK?
You can expect to start seeing initial results within 24-48 hours, with full results developing over 7-14 days. Some clients may notice changes sooner, while others might take the full two weeks to see maximum results.
Will I look “Fake” with Botox?
If used correctly, even full doses of Botox with maximum effect will look natural! It all depends on the correct placement as to make sure areas critical for expression and natural look are properly treated. Our trained medical professionals are highly skilled in facial anatomy and will ensure that you receive the right amount of Botox in the proper areas for your desired look.
Are there any side effects of Botox?
Yes. For a full description of all side effects, please see this prescribing information. For ease of the questions, the most common side effect we see is when there is an asymmetric effect, such as one eyebrow results in being higher than the other. This can, however (usually) be easily corrected. Other common side effects are bruising or swelling at the site of injection. Very rarely people can experience a local allergic reaction or an eyelid droop where some of the Botox traveled to, and that is temporarily unable to open fully.
