Question 1

How Does Botox® Work?

Accepted Answer

Botox® is a powerful neurotoxin-based injectable that is able to block nerve-muscle communication to temporarily soften fine lines, wrinkles, and deep furrows. During the minimally-invasive procedure, Dr. Craig will apply Botox® at precise depths for optimal facial enhancement with natural-looking results.

Botox® is also an FDA-approved treatment for excessive underarm sweating (hyperhidrosis). The neurotoxin helps manage this condition by temporarily blocking chemical signals from the nerves that stimulate the sweat glands. When the sweat glands do not receive chemical signals, the excessive sweating stops.

Question 2

Am I A Good Candidate for Botox®?

Accepted Answer

You’re a good candidate for Botox® injections if you have mild-to-moderate frown lines and wrinkles along your forehead, between your eyebrows, and around your eyes. The FDA-approved procedure most often used to correct dynamic wrinkles caused by repetitive facial movements. The minimally-invasive treatment is safe and effective for almost all skin types and tones.

Patients who are bothered by excessive sweating can also benefit from the Botox® treatments. Dr. Craig may suggest Botox® Cosmetics if you’ve exhausted all of your other options including medical antiperspirants.

Question 3

How Long Does A Botox® Take?

Accepted Answer

A typical Botox® treatment takes about 20-30 minutes. At Accent, we apply a topical anesthetic for the comfort of our patients. Botox® clients should account for check-in and a quick, pre-procedural discussion with your injector. However, in most cases, you’ll be in and out of the office within the hour.

Question 4

What Results Will I See with a Botox® ?

Accepted Answer

The majority of patients can expect to see results in as little as 5 days with an optimal outcome 2-weeks post-treatment. When applied correctly, you should be able to get the results you want with a single in-office visit.

Results from Botox® are temporary but last approximately 3 months. Botox® treatments can safely and effectively be repeated as necessary to maintain maximum results.

Question 5

Is There Any Downtime with a Botox®?

Accepted Answer

There’s no downtime associated with Botox® Cosmetics. Side effects are minimal with the injectable but may include slight swelling or redness at the time of injection. In rare cases, bruising may occur as with any injectable. Any adverse symptoms from the procedure typically subside within several hours to several days. Makeup can be applied immediately following your Botox® treatment.
