When you hear the term "neurotoxin", many might want to stay away from such a substance. However, as an injectable treatment, Botulinum toxin type A (a neurotoxin) has been used safely for decades for medical purposes and to make facial wrinkles disappear. Brand names for this product include Botox Cosmetic, Dysport, Xeomin, Jeuveau, and Daxxify. Here at Miramont MedSpa, nursing injector, Courtney Prabhakar RN relies on Botox cosmetic simply because it is her favorite. Other Miramont MedSpa injectors like McKinzie Greve and Jodi Watson offer both Botox cosmetic and Dysport.
Botox is injected into areas of the face that have wrinkles caused by normal muscle movement (dynamic wrinkles). Common treatment areas include the forehead, glabella (eyebrows), and crow's feet (outer eyes). Advanced injectors like Nurse Courtney can also inject other areas of the face and neck where indicated. Once treated, it takes up to 2 weeks to see full results. The treatment causes the muscles to relax and not be able to contract, thereby reducing lines and wrinkles. Results usually last 3 months, although some report it lasts longer for them. To get rid of wrinkles and keep them away, plan to get your treatments 4 times a year.
If you have deep creases on the face, it can take up to several treatments for the creases to go away. Once injected, it is impossible to reverse the treatment if you are unhappy with the results, so it is important to go to an experienced injector who knows what they are doing. Nurse Courtney at Miramont MedSpa has been injecting Botox since 2010. Botox treatment is fast and easy- it only takes 15 minutes. If you have any questions or concerns about getting Botox, call the MedSpa at Miramont and ask to speak to Nurse Courtney. She is especially good with first-time patients and those who have anxiety around needles. Call our office today to schedule an appointment at Miramont MedSpa.
