What should I expect after treatment with Botox?
Botox is a remarkably safe therapeutic agent for treatment of wrinkles. The complications were minor and temporary. Bruising may occur where the injection is given and mild pain, will likely have a headache after the procedure. Contusions may be more noticeable in patients taking aspirin or other blood-thinning medication. If possible you should stop the administration of these products prior to injection. Ice helps prevent bruising. The muscle weakness is noted in 24 hours is not immediate.
How long does the effect of Botox?
After the first set of injections, you can have another two weeks reinjection after allowing the location of any resistance from the muscles. With this method, 90% or more of patients respond to Botox. This leaves 10% who do not respond to treatment. The success of treatment lies with the weakening of the muscle that begins between 24 to 48 hours after injection and maximum muscle weakness is determined in seven days. The paralysis of the muscle after the first injection lasts between four and seven months in most patients.
How often Reinjection is needed?
The re-injection is suggested every three or four months to keep the paralyzed muscles and allow wrinkles vanish. Once the area is smoothed out completely, he instructs the patient to return to therapy only when he returned he noticed muscle movement. What may well not occur for at least four months to a year or sometimes longer.
