Here’s a breakdown of what typically happens during a Botox injection appointment:
- Preparation:
- Clean Skin: Your injector will cleanse the treatment area to remove any makeup or oils.
- Numbing (Optional): If desired, a topical numbing cream might be applied to minimize any discomfort.
- Treatment Plan Review: The injector may mark the injection sites to guide the process.
- The Injections:
- Tiny Needles: Botox is delivered using a very fine needle for minimal discomfort.
- Quick Injections: Each injection takes only a few seconds, and most treatments involve multiple injections.
- Aftercare:
- No Rubbing or Pressure: You’ll be asked to avoid rubbing or massaging the treated areas for a few hours.
- Upright Position: Remaining upright for several hours is recommended to prevent Botox from spreading.
- Follow-up: Your injector may schedule a follow-up appointment to assess your results and make any necessary touch-ups.
Important Note: The entire appointment usually takes around 15-30 minutes. It’s a quick and relatively painless procedure with minimal downtime.
