Botox is one of the most sought-after non-surgical procedures and one of the most misunderstood. Whether it is how often to get injections or where to have them done, people tend to have a wide range of answers. After reading this, you will hopefully have a more educated understanding of these things and will be able to make better-informed decisions.
Botox is a prescription medicine that is injected into the muscles of the face, including the forehead, around the eyes, between the eyebrows, around the mouth, and in the neck to improve the look of wrinkles, frown lines, and neck bands, achieving a smoother, more relaxed, and youthful appearance. When applied with a talented and experienced eye, Botox can be used creatively to lift the brow and open the eyes, rejuvenate the mouth and lips, and shape facial contours.
An unfaltering aesthetic and years of experience are key qualities to look for in your Botox injector. Dr. Shapiro and Pat Foley-Nemitz, R.N., are among the most experienced and talented injectors in the Valley and communicate well with patients to ensure they achieve their desired results. Talking with your injector to make sure they understand what you are looking for is vital as well. Bring in pictures or ideas of the look you are going for; communication is the key to successful results.
Botox injections typically last between 3 and 6 months, depending on a variety of factors. When getting injections, be sure to mention whether you’ve had them before and how long it’s been since you last had them. If you have any big events coming up, plan your injections at least six weeks in advance to ensure they have time to settle and look their best.
