BOTOX
Cosmetic injectables, such as Botox, are exactly what they sound like: injectable treatments Dr. Palmer will use to help you achieve your cosmetic goals. Whether you’re dealing with wrinkles where your face is most expressive, sagging skin, thinning lips, or a double chin, the team at Imperfect Perfection Beauty Bar has an injectable treatment for you. Botox specifically helps you look your best, and they all come with no downtime.
Botox injections will be performed in the office. Depending on the number of injections, the procedure lasts between 10 to 30 minutes. It is a relatively painless procedure, although you may experience some slight discomfort, often described as a "prick."
During the procedure, you will be asked to contract the muscle area to be treated so your doctor can determine injection sites. These areas may then be numbed with a cold pack or topical cream. We will then administer several tiny injections of Botox directly into the muscle.
You will notice improvement in your treated wrinkles 24 to 48 hours after injections; it typically takes between three to five days for final results appear. You may experience some mild temporary bruising, numbness or redness around the injection sites. You will not look 20 years younger, but you may find that you look more natural and relaxed or less sad and angry.
When the effects of Botox start to wear off, your wrinkles will return, but they may not be as deep. You may then have additional injections. Two or three injections per year are recommended to achieve maximum benefits.
Most patients can return to normal activities immediately after injections, although strenuous activity should be avoided for 24 hours. It is also recommended that you remain in an upright position for many hours after your injections and do not rub or massage the treated area to prevent spreading Botox to other muscles.
The results of your Botox injections will generally last up to four months. If you wish to maintain your wrinkle-free look, another round of injections is necessary. However, it is recommended that you wait at least three months between treatments.
Botox is an injectable treatment that smooth dynamic wrinkles. These are the wrinkles that form as a result of repeated facial expressions. These injectables are extremely effective at minimizing the appearance of:
Crow’s feet
Frown lines
Forehead lines
With a quick (usually 15 minutes or less) treatment using an extremely small needle, Dr. Palmer injects the Botox into the muscle underneath your wrinkle. This temporarily freezes the muscle, relaxing the skin over it, so your wrinkle dissipates.
The results of this treatment usually last three months or more.
