What To Expect During a Botox Visit With Your Dermatologist
posted: May 14, 2024.
Since Botox was first approved by the FDA for dermatological use in the late 1980s, its popularity has grown exponentially. It is consistently listed at the top of the list of non-invasive cosmetic procedures by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. This treatment may be the right solution for you if you’re unhappy with facial lines and wrinkles. Know what you can expect when you visit a dermatologist for Botox at The Dermatology Group, which has offices in Longwood, Orlando, Winter Park, and Mount Dora, FL.
How Botox Works
Botox is a neuromodulator injection that inhibits nerve impulses and pauses the contraction of muscles in the skin. Muscle contractions from smiling and making faces are what cause wrinkles to form over time. When the solution is strategically injected by your dermatologist, it will temporarily relax lines and smooth out the skin for a more attractive, younger appearance. Botox can also be used on the jawline to create more definition.
Your First Botox Visit - What To Expect
You may wonder what a visit to our Longwood, Orlando, Winter Park, and Mount Dora, FL, dermatologist’s office for Botox will be like. A topical anesthetic is applied for your comfort. Results are often noticeable after a few days, and the results can last for months. After you visit for the first time, you’ll likely be much more relaxed during follow-up visits.
After Your First Botox Appointment
Though not very common, you may experience some swelling or redness after your first Botox visit. Avoid laying down or bending for a few hours after the appointment, and put off exercising or any other strenuous activity for at least 24 to 48 hours. Other than these and other specific instructions from your skin doctor, you should be able to carry on with your day as usual after the appointment.
