Botox

What is Botox?

Botox is an FDA-approved cosmetic injectable that smooths wrinkles in the face. The treatment’s main ingredient is botulinum toxin type A, which works by preventing muscle contractions in specific areas. 

This, in turn, stops wrinkles from appearing. Botox can treat existing lines and wrinkles, and it also prevents new ones from developing. 

What areas does Botox treat?

Botox has a wide range of uses in the cosmetic field, including treatment of: 

• Crow’s feet around the eyes
• “11” lines between the eyebrows
• Horizontal forehead lines
• Bunny lines on the nose* 
• Drooping eyebrows*
• Gummy smile*
• Drooping mouth corners*
• Chin puckering*

Botox is also used in other areas of the body to treat migraines, temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ), excessive sweating, cervical dystonia, and other conditions. 

Can I still make facial expressions after Botox treatment?

When your Botox treatment is administered by a highly trained specialist like those at Juno Aesthetics, you still have full normal facial function. 

The team treats wrinkles with their artistry and skill so that you get the most natural-looking results. You won’t have to worry about a frozen look or lack of emotion — you can frown, smile, and experience the full range of facial expressions after Botox at Juno Aesthetics.

What does Botox feel like?

Treatment is very well tolerated, and the team offers numbing cream, ice packs, and even hand-holding for support. Most patients barely feel a quick pinch or sting during the injections, like a mosquito bite. In fact, very few patients opt for numbing cream because it’s often not needed. 

Does Botox have any downtime?

Botox doesn’t require any downtime, and in fact, you can schedule it on your lunch break. 

After Botox, you should avoid lying flat for four hours though, and the team also recommends avoiding high-intensity exercise for the remainder of the day. Other than that, you can get back to your regular day right away.

When will I see results from my Botox?

You might start to see results in as little as 24-48 hours, with the full results seen at one month post-treatment. 

How long does Botox last?

Botox can last for up to four months, but it depends on every client. On average, most patients need maintenance treatments every three months or so to maintain their great results.
