Botox and Jeuveau Injections Specialist Q&A

Botox® Cosmetic and Jeuveau is an injectable form of botulinum toxin, a neurotoxin that temporarily relaxes the facial muscles and inhibits their ability to contract, which smoothes the wrinkles and lines in the skin over the muscles. We use a fine needle to inject product directly into the muscles of the designated treatment area. These injection sessions typically last no more than 30 minutes and have little to no downtime associated with them. Patients are able to return to their daily routine immediately after an injection session.

Results of the treatment typically become visible within 10 to 14 days of an injection session. Results can continue to improve for up to a month after an injection session and last for about 3.5 months.

Common treatment areas include:

– Crow’s feet
– Frown lines
– Forehead
– Brow area
– Lips flip
– Necklines
– Smoker lines

You may experience some temporary injection-related side effects like bruising, tenderness, mild swelling, and/or discomfort or itching at the injection site. These side effects typically subside on their own within a few days of an injection session.

Botox® Cosmetic is a treatment option for men and women interested in improving the appearance of facial wrinkles and reducing the visible effects of age. Before your treatment, we will review your general health, medical history, and goals of treatment and determine if Botox® is the right choice for you. If you are a candidate for Botox®, we will work with you to develop a customized treatment plan that best suits your needs.
