Botulinum Toxin

How Does Botox Work?

Botox cosmetic is made from a botulinum toxin type that received fda approval, a neurotoxin. The toxin is injected into the muscles in very small concentrations to reduce their movement as an anti aging treatment.

To make muscles move or contract, the nerves release acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter. The acetylcholine attaches to receptors in the muscle cells, which pass along the signal to contract. Botulinum toxin stops the acetylcholine from being released, so the muscles never receive the message, and they never contract.

Dynamic wrinkles occur when the muscles in the face contract. Over time, the wrinkles become more noticeable. Because Botox prevents the muscles from contracting, it prevents wrinkles from worsening.

Realistic Expectations

Candidates for Botox in Irvine

Candidates for Botox should be hoping to treat dynamic wrinkles — Candidates for Botox in Irvine should be hoping to treat dynamic wrinkles.

Most people who are in good health are good candidates for Botox. However, patients should have realistic expectations for the procedure.

Candidates for Botox should be hoping to treat forehead lines and wrinkles in the form of dynamic wrinkles rather than static wrinkles. Static wrinkles, which are always visible on the face and occur naturally over time due to volume loss, can’t be fixed with Botox.

Most doctors discourage pregnant and breastfeeding women from receiving Botox. Professionals are unclear about whether the treatment could be harmful to pregnant women, but it’s safer to wait to receive the injections. Some medications can be risky to take after receiving Botox injections, so make sure you discuss all your medications with your doctor and receive the best medical advice possible.

The treatment

The Botox Procedure

The Botox procedure is very straightforward and only takes about 10 minutes. You don’t need anesthesia, so you can schedule the appointment for any day when you have some free time. Some people even get their treatments during their lunch break.

During the procedure, Dr. Hojjat will make multiple small injections with a fine needle. He will inject the botulinum toxin directly into the muscles that are causing unwanted wrinkles.

You might feel a small pinprick during the procedure, but most people experience a minimal amount of pain. The injection area can be numbed with a topical anesthetic or with an ice pack before the procedure.

The effects of one treatment usually last between three and four months, although this will vary depending on your age, diet, exposure to sunlight, and other lifestyle factors. There is no risk of squeezing it out of your body, but diligent care of the injection site is recommended.

A very small percentage of patients experience drooping eyelids and double vision after the procedure, but this typically goes away in a few weeks. Other side effects include headaches and numbness, sebaceous cysts are also a very rare incident. Some people worry about squeezing out the Botox from their body with pressure but this isn’t a real issue.

What is the Botox recovery process like?

Recovery after a Botox treatment is very easy. Most patients can go back to their normal daily activities immediately after the procedure. Your doctor may advise you to avoid exercise or other strenuous activities for the rest of the day, and you should avoid touching or rubbing the treated area for about 12 hours after you receive the injection.

How many times can I have the Botox procedure?

Usually, there is no limit to the number of times you can receive Botox injections. However, you should always consult your doctor before booking the treatment to make sure it’s the right choice for you. The procedure is generally repeated every three to four months.

How long do Botox results take to appear?

It typically takes five to seven days to see the results of the injections. The results will continue to develop over the next two weeks. After the first few weeks, you’ll see the full results.

Will any area of my face feel numb or frozen after a Botox treatment?

Botox doesn’t affect the nerves in your face, so it’s very uncommon to experience numbness after the injections. If you do feel any numbness that doesn’t go away shortly after the procedure, contact our office.

What’s the best age to start receiving Botox or Dysport?

There is no standard age to start receiving treatments, and adults of all ages can benefit from Botox. Even some people in their 20s choose to have Botox injections.

Will people be able to tell I’ve had Botox injections?

Your friends, family, and coworkers will probably notice that your face looks fresher and younger after your treatment. However, they may not be able to tell exactly why you look better. When you receive Botox injections from an experienced professional, you don’t have to worry about the classic signs of bad Botox like a shiny forehead or a frozen face.

What is the difference between Botox and Fillers?

Botox and fillers address different aging concerns. Botox, derived from botulinum toxin, relaxes muscles to reduce dynamic wrinkles caused by facial expressions, such as forehead lines and crow’s feet. Fillers, usually made from hyaluronic acid, restore volume and smooth static wrinkles, enhancing areas like lips, cheeks, and jawline. Botox treats expression lines by temporarily paralyzing muscles, while fillers add volume to skin, filling in deep lines or contouring facial features. Botox results last 3-4 months, while fillers can last 6-18 months, depending on the type and area treated.
