Botox Injections
Botox is one of the most popular treatments at our med spa in Fort Collins. It provides strong and immediate results that tighten the skin and reduce wrinkles instantly.
Botox is a neurotoxin, meaning you need to seek a qualified clinician at a reputable clinic for treatment. Make sure you never have Botox injections done at home by a practitioner who is not experienced and qualified.
Here at Xanadu Med Spa, Fort Collins, CO, we have a reputation for incredibly high standards and impressive results.
Our client list is long and full of happy customers who leave our facilities impressed and radiant, regaining the confidence they thought was lost to them.
Our skilled team of professionals works with Botox daily and is trained to the highest standards. This means you get the best possible results in the safest possible manner.
What Are Botox Injections?
Botox is a neurotoxin and is the go-to treatment for those that want immediate results with very little downtime. This means people can get back to work or carry on with their day.
Botox’s scientific name is Botulinum Toxin Type A.
How Do Botox Injections Work?
As Botox is a neurotoxin, when it enters your body it begins to disrupt the signals your brain sends throughout your body. These signals, of which your brain sends millions every day, are the signals that cause minute, uncontrollable movements in the face. These movements are the reason why you get wrinkles, forehead lines, and crow’s feet.
When these signals are blocked by the Botox neurotoxin, your face stops making these minuscule movements and forces your face to relax instead, this results in a softer expression on the face.
When Botox is applied to the forehead, corners of the eyes, chin, and mouth, it has strong immediate results, reducing frown lines and crow’s feet, that are caused by uncontrollable brain signals.
What to Expect?
Many people have heard of Botox treatment but are reluctant to get it because they are worried or unsure about what the procedure entails.
When you turn up for your Botox treatment, your practitioner will use numbing cream on the target areas before injecting the Botox injections into your facial muscles to make the muscles relax.
When it comes to recovery time after your treatment, it is normal for some swelling and redness in the healthy skin surrounding your injection site. There may also be some bruising and sensitivity but these symptoms will fade over the next few days.
How Many Units of Botox Do I Need to See Results?
Many clients are extremely happy with the results they get from a single treatment of Botox.
The results do take a few days, as the neurotoxin injected into your muscles needs time to take hold and work its magic.
Within a couple of days, the results will begin to get stronger and stronger.
How Long Do Botox Injections Last?
With Botox injections containing a neurotoxin, the strength of the result and the length of time the results last will depend on how your body reacts as well as,
How fast your body metabolizes the toxin.
How good your practitioner is.
The specific area being treated.
Whether or not you have had Botox cosmetic treatment before.
Most clients here at Xanadu Med Spa, Fort Collins return for more treatments after around 4-6 months. If your body is particularly quick at metabolizing the toxins, the results will last around four months.
If you want to ask some questions or need more information regarding your treatment, you should get in touch with us today. Our team is ready to answer all your queries. We can also discuss any other treatments and arrange your next appointment.
Are Botox Injections Safe?
Botox injections are approved by the FDA and this has aided the Botox brand in becoming one of the most trusted names in facial cosmetic treatments.
It is worth reminding you, though, that Botox injections are only safe when administered by a skilled, experienced, and trained hand, using the FDA-approved and in-date formulas.
We offer all of this at Xanadu, so you can rest easy knowing you are in good hands.
What is the Downtime?
One of the best things about Botox injections, the treatment requires no downtime. You won’t have to take time off work or from your busy schedule.
The only aftercare requirements are that you do not lie down flat for two hours after the treatment, and you do not rub the area for 24 hours.
What Are the Side Effects of Botox?
There may be some swelling and bruising.
Headaches that can last up to 48 hours.
Some people experience a drooping of the eyelid if they have rubbed the site.
Your eyes may tear up and you may experience some dryness for 24 hours.
There may be some mild pain around the injection area.
Are There Any Adverse Reactions?
Just like dermal fillers, Botox treatment is very mild and most people will be able to tolerate it with no side effects.
A certain percentage, around 9% of patients experience will experience headaches and 2% experience brow ptosis.
How Much Does Botox Cosmetic Treatment Cost?
The cost of our treatments will depend upon the number of sessions we think you will need, the area you want us to treat, and how much actual toxin we will require for the results you want.
When you speak to us in your free consultation, we will tell you how much your treatment will cost up-front, so you can make a decision with all the facts in your head.
