Be Ready for your Botox Procedure

By Craig W. Nevilt


Once you've decided that BOTOX is the right way for you to achieve a more youthful, aesthetically pleasing look, you need to prepare yourself. The best way you can prepare for Botox is to inform yourself on what the procedure entails. They are not complicated or lengthy procedures, so understanding the mechanics and results of a procedure are pretty straightforward. As you prepare to use Botox to eliminate wrinkles or for one of its many other uses, it's important to be informed about the details of the procedure. And to be prepared to let your physician know what kind of results you are hoping to achieve.

The day of the procedure is very straightforward, and the best way to prepare is solely to know what to expect. When you are with your doctor, you will be asked to sit in a reclining, dentist-like chair. Knowing what you are trying to accomplish, the person administering your Botox treatment will likely ask you to contract specific muscles, then he or she will mark the injection locations.

Right After the Treatment

As soon as the Botox injections are administered, you'll likely have some red dots showing in the area of treatment. In rare cases, some patients reported instances of minor bruising or swelling. If that were the case, the simple application of make-up would cover that up until the bruising disappeared. This would likely occur within a few hours of the Botox treatment. Scars on the face are not a concern, since this is not an invasive procedure. Doctors recommend using an ice bag on the injection site for a few minutes after the procedure. This should eliminate or reduce any inflammation.

After the injections have been completed, your doctor should provide you with Botox recovery instructions. Be sure to schedule your appointment far enough in advance of an event to enjoy its full effects. The full effect of the treatment will take about a week to fully realize.

Botox Fees

BOTOX Cosmetic treatments are generally quite affordable, which is one of the main reasons for the procedure's international popularity. A BOTOX session will usually cost between $300 and $400 per syringe. Of course, this really depends on the specific treatment you'll receive. Compared to other anti-wrinkle injectable treatments, Botox is the most affordable. To maintain results, BOTOX patients will have to pay somewhere in that general range every 4-6 months.

Botox Side Effects

Though very rare, Botox side effects do occur. Usually, they're temporary, but they can sometimes last for several months. The kinds of side effects depend on what area you had treated with Botox. For patients with frown lines, the most common Botox related side effects include:

▪ headache

▪ respiratory infection

▪ flu-like symptoms
