What You Should Know About Botox Treatment

Whether you’re looking for a simple way to reduce wrinkles or looking for a way to combat chronic muscle spasms, Botox treatment can help. This FDA-approved drug works by paralyzing certain muscles, resulting in a softening of existing lines and a reduction in the appearance of new ones.

Depending on the area being treated, the procedure can be done in as little as ten minutes. Before the injection, the doctor may apply a topical numbing agent.

During the injection, the physician uses a thin needle to inject the Botox into the specific areas. The amount of Botox is based on the size and number of muscles being treated.

After the injection, the patient may feel a stinging or burning sensation. The pain will subside within a few days. However, it is best to avoid rubbing or massaging the injection site. Some over-the-counter painkillers, like Motrin, may help.

Types of Non-Cancerous Lumps You Might Be Living With

It is important to tell your healthcare provider if you have any allergies. You should also make sure you do not take any medications that could cause bruising at the injection site. Pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers should also avoid receiving Botox.

Some side effects of Botox include weakness and numbness at the site of the injection. It may also cause breathing problems. Typically, the effects last about three to four months.

You should talk to your healthcare provider about any of these side effects before you get Botox. You should avoid drinking or eating 24 hours before the injection. You should also avoid massaging the treatment area, using ice packs, or taking over-the-counter painkillers.
