Artistry and Experience is the Secret to Great Botox!

Although BOTOX® may look easy to administer, it is not this aspect which is most important to the outcome. The clinician's experience and "aesthetic eye" is the key to a great outcome with BOTOX®.

Treatments take 20-30 minutes unless you opt not to have your skin numbed prior to the injections, then the treatment should take less than 10 minutes. Several tiny injections are given in the areas that you and your provider have decided upon. They usually are barely appreciable in sensation or appearance following the injection. You can reapply makeup to the treated areas immediately after the session.

There are no specific after care instructions. If this is the first time you have had Botox injections, you will not notice any change for at least 3 days and the complete effect will take up to 14 days.

Side effects from Botox are very rare, but headaches can occur temporarily after the injection – especially in patients who suffer from frequent headaches. Ironically, Botox injections often help with frequent headache patients once the Botox takes effect. Bruising can occur although very infrequently. If you are prone to bruising or are on blood thinners please notify your caregiver; special techniques and recommendations will be used to try to minimize your bruising risk. If bruising does occur it will not affect your final result and typically is minor enough that makeup coverage will conceal it.

It is always recommended that anyone considering a cosmetic or plastic surgery procedure first consult with a qualified, and experienced cosmetic surgeon. Proper research and pre-procedure planning is an important step in a decision to undergo a cosmetic procedure, and one that should not be taken lightly. Ensure you fully understand the procedure, its risks, and have a realistic expectation of the results.

Research is very important to the process, and should be done prior to having your chosen procedure, no matter how invasive the procedure is. There are many great outlets available for this research,. the best one I have found is lookingyourbest.com- a free-to-use website that offers a large library full of in depth plastic and cosmetic surgery information. This website also offers a free service to help you locate a skilled and experienced specialist in your area.

I Tried Botox and LOVE the Results

When we are young, we rarely give any thought to how our facial skin and muscles will change, and how we will look. I always thought because I take care of myself with alot of exercise, eating the right foods, etc. and I possessed an advantage with my healthy lifestyle and I always figured I would age gracefully.

I have discovered living a healthy lifestyle does not necessarily guarantee you will not suffer the same issues everyone does as they age. I decided to do something about it and began researching solutions. I had always heard of BOTOX, as it has been a very popular procedure, gaining popularity over the years. I had frequently thought that BOTOX was just for the movie stars and people that made their outward image the #1 priority in life. This is not so, many people from all walks of life have used BOTOX as a way to help their faces keep up with their fit bodies.

So I decided to "take the plunge" and try BOTOX injections for myself. I found an experienced, skilled and certified cosmetic surgeon in Texas, and had my first Botox Teatment. The actual procedure took all of 10 minutes, and I noticed the wrinkles and lines began to fade almost immediately. Within a week, the trouble spots had almost completely faded - another set of injections and they had totally vanished. It has been 2 months and I am ecstatic with the results. You certainly must try BOTOX injections if you want to reduce and treat signs of aging on your face.
