BOTOX (onabutulinumtoxinA) is a neuromodulator that temporarily blocks the release of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine at the nerve cell. In blocking this release, the muscle supplied by the nerve cell is unable to contract, which results in relaxation and softening of facial lines. Used by physicians since the 1980’s, BOTOX was the first neurotoxin approved by the FDA in 2002 and is now the most widely researched and studied treatment of its kind. The effects of the treatment can be seen within a week and last approximately 3 months. Despite all the lists of dos and don’ts after Botox, the reality is that there are no reliable studies that show body position or exercise after Botox affects the results. We therefore recommend our patients live life as usual after treatment. Although widely available today, it is important to seek experienced injectors as their technique has the most effect on the final results. We pride ourselves on staying current with techniques and best practices to provide a natural, refreshed look for our patients. Injectors since 2004, we have the experience and expertise to produce masterful results.
