A few standard practices before and after injections can maximize results, such as applying ice to the targeted area to reduce swelling and pain. The injection procedure takes roughly 10 minutes and patients can immediately return to their regular activities. However, care should be taken not to touch the face as rubbing the injected area can cause bruising. Botox should not be used while pregnant or breastfeeding.
There are a few negative side effects that may result if too much Botox is used or if it is not applied by a certified professional; however, the benefits outweigh the risks. This product benefits those who desire to see a crease free, smooth complexion without more invasive surgical procedures.
