BOTOX

---

BOTOX  is FDA- approved injectable solution that helps to reduce and remove facial wrinkles. Botox is made of Botulinum Toxin Type A as well as accessory proteins. The product temporarily paralyzes the facial muscles it's injected into.

The way Botox works is quite simple. Wrinkles often appear where facial muscles are worked. When you smile, laugh or frown, you’re working many muscles of the face. Botox blocks the signals to specific facial muscles which create undesirable wrinkles. Over a short period of time with the use of Botox wrinkle lines will begin to soften and fade.

• It’s the MOST popular.
  Botox has been the most popular cosmetic procedure across the country.
• It’s the MOST established.
  From 2000 to 2020, the number of annual Botox injections increased by nearly 459%.
• It’s satisfying.
  97% of patients surveyed were satisfied with the results of their Botox treatments.
• It delivers natural looking results.
  You won’t look like you’ve had “work” done. The muscle activity that causes lines and wrinkles is reduced, so you can still show expression — smile, frown, or look surprised — but without the wrinkles and creases.
• NO downtime.
  You’ll be surprised at how quick the treatment is. There's no recovery time needed. You're ready to get on with your day!
• Quality results.
  Visible results can appear within 1 to 2 days and last up to 4 months.

A lip flip is a nonsurgical procedure that makes your lips appear fuller. 

 During lip flip procedure, Botox has been injected into parts of  upper lip. 

The injection encourages the top lip to relax and “flip” outwards, giving the subtle illusion of a fuller lip.  The lip flip is a quick procedure, taking less than 2 minutes. After about a week, the injections make  lip look fuller or “poutier” without adding any volume to lip.   Lip flips generally look more natural than lip fillers.

 A lip flip typically lasts between two to five months.

After 12 to 24 hours, any pain and swelling should go away.  It takes about one week for your lips to look fuller. If you want your lips to look fuller before a big event, like a wedding, you should schedule the procedure at least two weeks ahead of time to make sure that the Botox has taken full effect and that you’ve completely recovered from the lip flip procedure.

You should avoid exercising for the remainder of the day and avoid sleeping facedown for the night after a lip flip procedure. 

It is normal to have a small bump at the injection site for a few hours following treatment. Bruising may also occur.

You can carefully eat or drink shortly after your lip flip procedure. However, take care not to eat any messy foods that may cause you to wipe your face or lips for at least three days. 

Avoid using drinking straws or smoking for at least three days. Puckering or contracting your lips may cause the Botox to migrate.  

You should also avoid drinking alcohol for at least 24 hours. Alcohol thins your blood, which can make bruising on your lips worse.

 Botox is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) of the underarms. 

Botox works by temporarily blocking the chemicals that signal it’s time for your glands to produce sweat. It doesn’t affect touch or sensation in the underarm area.  You only need one office visit to complete Botox treatment for underarm sweating. The procedure typically involves 25 injections in each armpit. Each time, your healthcare provider injects a small amount of Botox just under the skin’s surface with an extremely small needle.  

You should see an improvement in sweating in about three to four days. The full, moisture-busting effects happen at around two weeks.
