Botox will be injected into the treatment area. The needle is so thin that most people do not feel a thing. We provide topical cream to numb the treatment area for all our patients but if your clinic does not offer this as standard and you’re worried about pain, please ask them for it. Once the Botox has been injected there may be some red marks or bumps visible for about 30 minutes that look like insect bites. These are just the injection sites and will settle by themselves or can be brought down with a cold compress. You may also have some bruising which will go down after a few days. Botox in Athens, GA is a quick treatment and should take around 10 minutes to complete.

After getting Botox in Athens, GA, avoid lying flat, touching the treatment or wearing makeup for the first 6 hours to not displace the Botox and also reduce risk of infection.

Will results look natural?

BOTOX® Cosmetic is a technique-sensitive treatment. You can trust BOTOX® Cosmetic to deliver natural-looking results** when you are treated by someone who is licensed, trained, and a medical expert in facial anatomy. So you’ll look like yourself—only with less noticeable lines. No one should be able to tell you’ve had anything done.

When will I see the results?

Each patient is different, but most will typically begin to notice results gradually between 3-7 days after receiving injections. For some, it may take up to 2 weeks to realize the final effects.

How long will my Botox results last?

The outcome will vary from person to person, but typically you can expect the results of Botox to last from three to six months. The location of the injection and the amount used are the biggest factors that may affect how long it lasts. Other factors include your age, the elasticity of your skin, and wrinkle depth.

Over time when facial muscles aren’t used, they eventually get shorter and smaller, so regular use of Botox may extend the results for longer periods of time.

Is Botox safe?

Botox is FDA-approved as a safe treatment for reversing lines and wrinkles. However, patients who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have certain neurological diseases should not receive Botox treatments.

Are there any adverse side effects?

As with any procedure, whether medical or cosmetic, there is always a risk of side effects. Some patients may experience bruising, swelling, redness, or tenderness around the injection site. These side effects resolve on their own within a few days or up to a week following Botox treatment.
