Botox® is a cosmetic neurotoxin that works by causing temporary muscle paralysis. It targets the nervous system, disrupting the nerve signaling processes that stimulate muscle contraction. When injected into specific muscles, such as those around your mouth, lips, and upper lip, the use of Botox® (Botulinum toxin) blocks the release of a chemical messenger called acetylcholine at the junction where nerve endings meet muscle cells.
Acetylcholine normally attaches to receptors on the muscle cells, causing them to contract or shorten. By preventing the release of acetylcholine, Botox® effectively stops the muscle cells from contracting, helping the muscles to become less stiff. This process is particularly effective for treating lines around the lips, including smile lines, and can be combined with dermal fillers to plump the treatment area for enhanced cosmetic results.
Botox® may also be used as a nonsurgical option to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth.
After Botox® injections, avoid rubbing or massaging the treated areas for 24 hours, as this can cause the Botox® to spread to unintended muscles in your face. Avoid lying down for 4 hours after the procedure, and refrain from strenuous exercise for 24 hours. You can return to your normal activities immediately after the procedure, making it a convenient addition to your skincare routine.
To achieve the best results, continue to move the muscles in your face, especially around your mouth, for the next two hours. Avoid wearing a hat for several hours after injections. Refrain from consuming alcoholic beverages for the first 24 hours after treatment, as alcohol can increase the chances of bruising and swelling.
You may start seeing results within 24-48 hours, with full effects becoming visible after 10-14 days. The use of Botox cosmetic treatment is effective for both dynamic wrinkles, such as frown lines and crow's feet, which appear when you move your facial muscles, and certain lines, such as static wrinkles, that are visible when you smile or when your face is at rest. Botox® around the mouth is particularly beneficial for reducing lines in this area and enhancing your overall appearance.
Most people experience only minor discomfort during Botox® injections, often described as a brief stinging sensation.
The effects of Botox® typically last 3-6 months. As the treatment wears off, the treated muscles will gradually regain their ability to contract, and wrinkles around the mouth and other areas will reappear. This treatment might need to be repeated to maintain results.
Common side effects of Botox® include temporary redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites. Rarely, Botox® may cause drooping eyelids, eyebrows, or lips, but this is usually temporary and can be corrected with additional injections.
Botox® is not recommended for people who are pregnant, breastfeeding or have certain neurological conditions. Your provider will review your medical history to determine if using Botox® is safe for you.
Botox® Therapeutic, which has received FDA approval, is designed to relax the muscles in your face, thereby alleviating tension and associated pain. This non-invasive treatment can be beneficial for various conditions, including:
If you're looking to enhance your appearance and address concerns such as static wrinkles or dynamic wrinkles, a consultation with a qualified professional can help determine if Botox® is the right treatment for you.
