Botox has been around for some time now; however, it is still a fairly new concept to many people. This may be due to the misunderstanding of it and the fact that multiple needles are going into the face. This alone can be very scary and off-putting to tons of people. While Botox may seem scary at first and quite frankly a little weird, we see so many people come back for a second appointment because of how happy they are with the results. After finding out all of the benefits, risks, how the procedure works, and seeing the results, most find themselves to be a huge fan of what they once were afraid of. At Beaute Therapies we know how frightening it can be to go into a cosmetic procedure for the first time. This is why we always set up a consultation before the treatment so you can ask any questions you may have and express any concerns; however, we can understand wanting to get some facts before even going into a consultation. This is where our frequently asked questions guide comes into play. We created this guide to get some insight into the consultation and the procedure so you can make the best and most informed decision or yourself. Our doctors are here for you, we want you to look and feel your best, but on your terms.

What Exactly is Botox?

Botox, or botulism toxin, is a compound made by bacteria that is injected into areas on the face. After injecting the compound, the compound will affect the nerves in the face making it so when you go to move a nerve it cannot move to the extent as it used to and therefore will not cause a wrinkle to form.

Where is the Botox Injected?

Botox is commonly injected in many areas of the face to give you the best results. Some of these areas include the jawline, brow furrows, crow’s feet, between the eyes, the forehead, and glabella creases. These areas tend to carry the most wrinkles; although, if one area needs a touch-up and the others don’t you can get the one done and wait to do the rest of the face. It’s also quite common to get Botox injected in areas that are not the face such as the underarms. People do this to reduce the amount they sweat and reduce body odor. This can make a huge difference for those who find that they sweat excessively and have terrible body odor as a result. Injecting the underarms has been helpful for so many people who struggle with self-esteem issues because of the amount they sweat.

How Long Does Botox Last?

It usually lasts between 3 and 4 months and will take between 1 and 10 days to fully kick in. The best part about Botox is that the more frequently you get it over time the more likely you will need to get it done in the future. If you come in every 3 to 4 months consistently for years your face will need fewer touch-ups as the nerves will have less and less function.

Who Should Get the Treatment Done?

Realistically, anyone who wants the treatment can get it done, but, you should only get it done if you feel that it can help you achieve the appearance you want, prevent wrinkles, or help with a medical condition. Botox is a great option for many people because of how temporary it is. Since it lasts only 3 to 4 months, someone could try it and decide that they don’t like how it feels or looks and never get it again without having to worry about a permanent change being made. This procedure is also great for those who have a twitching eye, chronic migraines, and sweat excessively.

Many of us are familiar with the wrinkle-free perks of Botox, otherwise known as botulinum toxin; however, Botox has numerous other benefits for those who get it done. Botox has the power to weaken or paralyze muscles in the face and is often used in small amounts to reduce wrinkles and fine lines on the face. But, because of the ability to weaken the muscles, Botox is often used to treat people for other issues. This form of treatment works by playing a role in the nervous system by disrupting the nerve signaling process that alerts your body to move the muscles. When this happens your body will experience weakened or paralyzed facial muscles. When the nerves in the nervous system cannot alert the body to move then the proper chemicals that allow for movement cannot be released thus allowing for the Botox to properly work. This is the general purpose of Botox, especially for those who get the treatment done for wrinkles; however, there is much more that goes into it for each issue that Botox can address. For those who are considering Botox for other reasons then look no further than Beaute Therapies.

1.   Excessive Sweating

Excessive sweating, scientifically known as hyperhidrosis, makes some people excellent candidates for the Botox treatment. Sweating a lot can have a large impact on some, especially those who sweat in areas that are noticeable such as the forehead or the underarms. Many suffer from low self-esteem because of how much more they sweat than the average person. We all can feel it when we are sweating and thinking of how noticeable it is makes us nervous and sometimes sweat even more. With Botox, this does not need to be an issue anymore. The Botox treatment will act as a shield against your sweat glands and your exterior making excessive sweating no longer an issue.

2.   Migraines

Many people suffer from occasional migraines; however, some get them chronically. For those who suffer from chronic migraines, you know how big of an impact it can have on your day. Sometimes these migraines mean bed rest for an entire day and plenty of vomiting. The effects of these can impact everyone differently and range in severity. Although the Botox will not stop your migraines from ever happening, they will make it so when you get them they are significantly less painful. The Botox also can reduce any light sensitivity or nausea associated with migraines, allowing you to get through your day more efficiently when one hits.

3.   Stop Eye Twitches

This is one of the more uncommon reasons for getting Botox; however, Botox is extremely effective when treating eye twitches. For those who do not experience eye twitches, they can be quite annoying and last a lot longer than what the average person thinks. Sometimes the twitch may be short-lived but happening at a quick pace and other times it can be twitching every couple of minutes for hours on end, either way, it can drastically interfere with the patient’s life. They also can impact the patient’s vision, which can be very dangerous if the twitch occurs at the wrong time, for example, when the patient is driving. The way Botox works for wrinkles is near identical to how it works for eye twitches. By blocking out the amount of movement the facial muscles can do the eyes are unable to twitch anymore.
