6 THINGS TO EXPECT WITH BOTOX COSMETIC TREATMENTS

1. Real, Noticeable Results

You may begin to notice results within 24 to 48 hours for treatment of moderate to severe frown lines. Results may vary and can take up to 14 full days.

2. What Does It Feel Like?

Some patients report that being injected with Botox feels like a pinch. We will provide you with ice to numb the treatment area immediately after.

If you are concerned about discomfort, we can also apply a topical numbing cream before administering your treatment.

3. How Long Does It Take?

The actual injection process takes about 10 minutes. Our medical professionals will discuss your treatment goals to determine the appropriate treatment areas for you.

4. What Will I Look Like?

You’ll look like yourself—only with less noticeable frown lines and crow’s feet.

Botox is a technique-sensitive treatment. You should not lose the ability to show expression when you are treated by someone who is licensed, trained and a medical expert in facial anatomy–like the medical professionals at Cosmetic Skin Institute.

5. Do I Have to Hide for the Day?

You can return to your daily routine. Treatment requires minimal downtime or recovery; it’s often called a lunchtime procedure.

You’ll be able to go about your normal routine immediately after you leave our office.

6. Will It Break the Bank?

Your cost not only includes the price of the treatment, but more importantly, the skill and expertise of our medical professionals who are administering your treatment.

Botox is a technique-sensitive treatment so regardless of where you go you want to look for someone who is licensed and trained with experience treating patients with Botox.

Be wary of discount products or “cheap” Botox–if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

At Cosmetic Skin Institute, our goal is to offer expert skin care services to all of our clients.
