Botox

Are you looking for a glowing, symmetrical, youthful face? At RSVP Med Spa, Botox is a non-invasive treatment for fine lines, wrinkles, and a symmetrical appearance. Botox’s benefits exceed cosmetic solutions. Botox corrects lines caused by repetitive movement, imbalanced facial muscles, spasms, sweating, and migraines. It is important to notify your healthcare provider about the use of blood thinners when considering Botox injections to minimize risks such as bleeding or bruising.


What is Botulinum Toxin?

BOTOX® is a treatment injected into muscles to block unwanted nerve impulses. Individuals who are allergic to any of its ingredients or have a history of allergic reactions to similar products should avoid Botox injections and seek immediate medical help if symptoms of an allergic reaction occur. Blocking nerve impulses decreases facial movement in areas with repetitive facial expressions and wrinkles. Lack of symmetry can also be resolved with Botox. Botox reduces muscle activity that causes moderate to severe lines and asymmetrical features.


Botox Injections Procedure

The procedure for a Botox injection is minimally invasive, involving intradermal injections administered just under the skin using botulinum toxin to freeze unwanted expressions. It is important to consider the safety and potential side effects associated with the injection site, as effects may extend beyond the injection site. Botox will give you a brighter appearance, higher confidence, and a more balanced facial structure.

Before

Before the treatment, you will have a consultation with Dr. Selena Fu or one of our skilled injector specialists, who will listen to your concerns and design a personalized treatment plan to reach your goals. It is important to discuss any medical conditions you have with your healthcare provider during this consultation. Once you are at your appointment, your injector may numb the injection area. Numbing can be done with anesthetic, ice, and vibration anesthesia.

During

Your injector will use a thin needle to inject small amounts of botulinum toxin into the skin and muscles. Botox shots are primarily used to relax facial muscles to reduce wrinkles and can also treat various medical conditions such as neck spasms and migraines. The number of units and syringes will depend on your area of treatment. The process typically takes under 30 minutes.

After

Botox injections quickly kick in and start showing noticeable results only days after the treatment. Clinical trials conducted by the Mayo Clinic have been crucial in evaluating the safety and efficacy of Botox treatments. It can take a week or more to notice the full effects of your Botox injections. It is important to schedule your Botox appointments every three to four months to maintain your desired results.
