FAQ BOTOX-INJECTION
|
A. How is the procedure done?
Botox treatment is a very precise procedure that must be
done carefully to be successful. After you've decided on
the result youŽd like to achieve, specific facial
muscles that correspond to the areas you would like to
improve are identified. After isolating these muscles, a
tiny needle is used to inject a very small amount of
Botox. Essentially, Botox will paralyze the nerve
controlling a muscle, which will prevent it from
contracting. Since the muscle is no longer able to move,
wrinkles will disappear.
B. How do I prepare for this procedure?
First, Dr Mounir will take a complete medical history to
determine if you are a good candidate for treatment with
Botox. Your physician will then perform a complete
facial examination to determine which areas of your face
may benefit from Botox. Because Botox can only treat
wrinkles caused by muscle contractions, some facial
lines and wrinkles can only be eliminated by chemical
peel or laser resurfacing.
C. How long does the procedure take?
Botox treatments generally take about 10 minutes and can
be performed in your physicianŽs office.
D. What form of anesthesia is used?
None. Although some patients prefer to apply a mild
analgesic cream 30 minutes before their treatment. This
effectively eliminates the slight twinge that may be
caused by the fine needles during treatment. Most
patients find that applying any form of anesthetic is
unnecessary.
E. Can I return home the same day?
Yes. Treatment with Botox is a very simple procedure,
which allows you to return home immediately after your
procedure.
