When Botox<\/a> is administered correctly it can offer a relaxed, refreshed and more youthful appearance. \u00a0It can help to enhance your features while also preventing those pesky lines and wrinkles developing for years to come.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s understandable that you might have some questions and reservations about the treatment \u2013 it does involve facial injections after all! To put your mind at ease, we\u2019ve outlined what you can expect before, during and after the treatment:<\/span><\/p>\n

At the consultation<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

During the initial consultation, Dr Baskin or one of our Registered Nurses will discuss with you exactly what your concerns are and manage your expectations to ensure you get the best result. They will make treatment recommendations to align with what you want to achieve and your budget. Now\u2019s the time to ask any questions you have, to ensure you have a full understanding of the treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the Botox\u00ae appointment<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

At your first Botox\u00ae appointment<\/a>*, you\u2019ll complete a medical consent form and pre-treatment photos are taken to track your results. This initial appointment is about 30 minutes, which is longer than follow up appointments which are only around 15 minutes. Your nurse will then talk you through the procedure before starting. Botox\u00ae is injected directly into the targeted muscle using a fine needle. Most people describe the treatment as \u2018slightly uncomfortable\u2019 but it is over in no time!<\/span><\/p>\n

*Unless you are under a doctor order for it, \u00a0seven days prior to a Botox injection avoid Aspirin, Advil, Aleve, Motrin, any anti-inflammatory medications, Fish Oil\/Flaxseed Oil supplements and Melatonin.\u00a0 This will decrease your chance of bruising.<\/span><\/p>\n

Immediately after the treatment<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Right after the treatment, you may have a small amount of redness and swelling \u2013 this will usually resolve within ten minutes. Most people experience no pain or side effects, a small number get a mild headache after the treatment which can be eased with mild pain relief. You will be given post-treatment information which outlines all of the details and post-care advice.<\/span><\/p>\n

1 day after the treatment<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Most people will not experience any symptoms that show they\u2019ve had the treatment done, however it is possible to have some minor bruising. Noticeable results are not usually visible the next day, as it take a bit of time for the Botox\u00ae to kick in.<\/span><\/p>\n

1 week after the treatment<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

After five to seven days, you are likely to start to see results of your treatment, with the full effect seen at 10-14 days.\u00a0<\/span>The treated area will appear smoother and look more refreshed. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

1 month after the treatment<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

A month down the track, your Botox\u00ae will still be very effective. \u00a0Some people will have a very small amount of movement return, although this differs for everyone and also depends on the area treated.<\/span><\/p>\n

3 months after the treatment<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

After about 3 to 6 months, the effects of Botox start to wear off and you will start to see a gradual return of movement. If you want the fresh and smooth look to return, you will have to repeat the injections. Most people get injections every 3 to 4 months.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
