Botox is a simple, non-surgical prescription treatment that effectively smoothes frown lines and wrinkles and relaxes and lifts some facial muscles. Botox is a naturally occurring neurotoxin. When small amounts are injected into the skin, it temporarily blocks signals from the nerves to the muscles and reduces the skin’s ability to contract. Wrinkles then relax and soften giving the skin a younger, fresher appearance.

Post-procedure, slight bruising, redness or swelling is normal and not permanent. Avoid rubbing or massaging the treatment area for 4 hours. Do not lie down for 4 hours after treatment to avoid the risk of placing pressure on the treated area. Within the first week, some tightness or slight heaviness is normal. Should this occur, it will typically subside within 1 to 2 weeks. Nicole Le Renard or Rebecca Embry will check in on your progress after about one week.

Botox is the original and best known brand name of Neuromodulators. As a result, it has undergone extensive testing for safety and effectiveness, which impacts cost. The cost of this treatment is based on both the experience level of the injector and cost per unit of Botox.
Botox results vary by individual, but the typical range is two to six months with the average being three to four months. However, lines and wrinkles do tend to remain less prominent after treatment, even once the results begin to wear off.
Botox is a drug made from a neurotoxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum called botulinum toxin. It remains where injected and does not roam throughout the body, so the effects are localized and does not have a systemic effect. It has been extensively tested and is generally safe, but dosage, frequency of treatment and your medical history must be considered. The safest way to enjoy the benefits of Botox treatments is to receive services only from a licensed professional like Adam and Eve Medical Aesthetics.
