What Is Botox?

Botox, or Botulinum toxin type A, is a type of drug that can correct certain wrinkles and facial lines by relaxing the muscles beneath the skin that cause them. While Botox refers to a specific toxin, there are also other brands that use botulinum. However, Botox has been used to refer to any kind of injectable that uses botulinum toxin.

The main reason Botox is an effective treatment is that it paralyzes and weakens muscles that cause wrinkles. It does this by stopping the nerve endings from activating the muscle cells. In small doses, Botox is highly effective at reducing wrinkles and lines in your face. It can also treat medical issues such as cervical dystonia (muscle contractions in your neck and shoulders), blepharospasm (uncontrollable blinking), strabismus (lazy eye), severe sweating, and Botox can even treat chronic migraines.

Why Should I Get Botox?

First and foremost, if you're unhappy with wrinkles forming on your forehead, between your brows, around your eyes, or lines alongside your nose and mouth, Botox is a known treatment that can reduce these signs of aging. This minimally invasive procedure can provide the relief you may be looking for, or reduce signs of aging in your face.

What to Expect During Botox

Botox is an outpatient procedure usually occurring in-office. It generally takes a few minutes to complete, but if you are having multiple injections, the visit can take longer. You will not need any anesthesia, as the Botox injections are minimally invasive. We may apply a numbing cream ten to twenty minutes before injecting the target areas. Due to the short amount of time the treatment takes, it's often referred to as a "lunchtime" procedure.

The Botox Procedure

During your treatment, the trained aesthetic providers at PURE Cosmetic Center will inject Botox into different parts of your face and/or body. A thin needle injects a small amount of the botulinum toxin into your muscles, skin, or both. You may have several injections depending on how many areas you want to get treated and the severity of the symptoms you're experiencing.
